Realised I hadn't shown you the finished piece and sewing box refurb. It now matches my morris room and has a removeable washable cover. It's staples on the top with braid around hot glue gunned on.
The last recipient has her Christmas mug rug so I can blog about it. They were constructed out of repurposed material, hand quilted & free motion quilted. This one has antique flowers appliqued on it.
It's ready to start, done 18 pegs on a large guage. Need to do the strips for it. I'd like to do a little bath mat if I can find the old towels to cut up. I'm a little worried about the fraying.
