FQ Nametag Swap!

Yes I am going the London FQ Retreat in June!  Lucky or what!


I signed up for the Nametag swap, was assigned a partner, have thought about what I wanted to make, even decided what I wanted to make and then did lots of other things because I wasn't sure how to make it! [Do you do that or is it just me?]


Well I started on it yesterday!  Yahoo!  After a few bad starts I came up with this....



 Apologies for blurry shot but light levels are so low today - it's raining.....again!




I liked it but the linen I used was quite open textured and was fraying like mad so I had to try again today...


Mark II, which is a lot tidier and less likely to disappear into a heap of threads..






Missing something do you think?


Well if you know me then you know I make things with two sides and this is no exception.  So this is the other side....








Minus that giveaway name of course!


Now as it stands I could send it in the post like this but I wondered if I should send it attached to something like this?   Bling it up a little...






What do you think?

  2. I like the idea of blingy legs - how about a string of small bright beads attached to his undercarriage?! Legs or not I'm sure your partner will love him!
