This is the beginning of my quilty gift package for fav local friends. Of course, each one is packed with 2 Villa Rosa Design cards and fabric kit. I will politely insist that we just draw names next year. This is all I have to share this week in the way of quilty accomplishments. It's becoming a difficult month.
As I made the first two, I kept adjusting measurements to my liking. I also seem to need to write down pattern instructions in my own terms. The problem could be in understanding my own instructions if I return to make more of them several months later. This pattern can hold a large collection of VRD pattern cards. You can get the pattern HERE .
I used a lively fat quarter collection from GE Quilt Designs. It was fun to combine parts of 3 different fat quarters in each one. Of course, I mixed them up, so each holder would be a tad different.
Here is a view with the pattern pocket open ....

Sweet little gifts!
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful, Kat - what a nice gift! But they do look like lots of work, and I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. Hope you are close to being done and can relax soon! ❤️
ReplyDeleteThose are fun little gifts, Kat.
ReplyDeleteThose are great little wallets for hold the VRD cards. They also remind me of those wallets that hold tea bags, so you could stitch a dividing pocket down the middle of each side to add some tea bags for a new gift for next year? Or just on one side for tea and the other a card? I know exactly what you mean about adjusting patterns to make them to suit yourself better. I do that all the time. I bet the quilters who receive these will be thrilled! It's a great gift.
ReplyDeleteYour friends are going to love these. I enjoy the VRD cards but haven't gone wild on them yet. And, happily I've made several of the patterns into quilts!
ReplyDeleteOooh, what a pretty gift idea! I love your little wallets, they are beautiful. I love to write notes too on the patterns, and change little details. Thank you for sharing and linking up!
ReplyDeleteAren't you so sweet - that is a very nice gift!!
