The multi-part secret stitching project that I was working on the other week was for <a href=\"http:\/\/craftingtime.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Heidi<\/a>&#8216;s birthday.  I was given her name as part of Becky&#8217;s wonderful Christmas\/Birthday Club.<\/p>\n<p>I had read on Heidi&#8217;s blog that she wasn&#8217;t going to be doing much to celebrate her birthday, plus she is feeling financially strapped, so I really wanted to go all out and spoil her as much as possible.  I started by stitching up several pieces from Romance in Bloom by Dragonfly Stitches.  My copy of this design set is actually signed by the designer Kristine Herber herself; I won it as part of a contest on her Yahoo! group some time ago.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I did not manage to stitch the needlebook because I ran out of time, but I did stitch and finish a tin topper, biscornu, scissors fob (complete with scissors) and bag.<br \/>\n<center><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=9501\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9502&#038;g2_serialNumber=2\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=9507\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9508&#038;g2_serialNumber=2\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=9509\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9510&#038;g2_serialNumber=2\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=9513\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9514&#038;g2_serialNumber=2\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=9505\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9506&#038;g2_serialNumber=2\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_itemId=9503\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jennamagee.com\/gallery\/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&#038;g2_itemId=9504&#038;g2_serialNumber=2\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Then I went through my stash and pulled a bunch of threads, some fat quarters and some fingertip towels to stitch on to add to the Silkweaver fabrics that I ordered for her.  There was so much that I couldn&#8217;t fit it into one box, so I sent a box with all of the extras and the stitched items in a bubble envelope.  Thankfully, while the USP<del>O<\/del>S didn&#8217;t meet their 2-3 day arrival estimate, they did manage to get her packages to her two days after her birthday.  Sorry, Heidi, I tried.
