Rhona finally received the giveaway I put together for her to celebrate my blogoversary back in...er...March and seems to have quite liked it.
Gaynor (StitchersAnon) very kindly designed me a chart of a No Ironing chart which with finishing my degree off took me ages to stitch and make up. On the plus side it meant that every time I went shopping, I saw little bits and thought 'ooh, that would be nice to add to the package'. It started off as iron/candy and developed into other bits too.
So without further ado, here is the design before I made it up. I think it is about 6" x 6" when stitched on 14ct. (Yes Jo, 14 ct aida...lol).
The bizarre thing is, and I didn't realisz it until I was ironing the fabric to make it up, the iron is pretty much the same as my iron in real life!

This is the wall hanging I made for Rhona. It was really odd when I looked at it because actually in the quilting fabric there were red, blue and yellow irons but with the exception of a tiny bit of red iron here and there, the rest all ended up being the blue and yellow ones. It wasn't planned like this, it just happened! I forgot to take a photo of the other backing fabric I used too which is really cute.
This is a photo of the goodies I sent to Rhona, which I have shamelessly stolen from her blog as I forgot to take one of everything together. Glad you liked it all Rhona.
