Something for "Bill" was made for Friday- Night -Sew -In.
Hello,
How did you go at Friday Night Sew In? I must have done alright because I had to have anap three hour sleep on the lounge this afternoon. I decided to use a machine embroidery sample I had done and make it into a "Mail Holder."
This is our local Post Office, which is a old building in our main street. Though it is very modern inside. The Post Office is always busy and has lots of goodies to look at while you wait. The black and white fabric is from my stash. I had used this fabric for a pair of pants that I made many moons ago. As it was cotton and a interesting tribal pattern I kept it. The measurements of the Mail Holder are 14 inches long and 10.5 inches wide. It will fit perfectly on our pantry cupboard door. I just hope we don't end up with many letters from "Bill". I remember when the children were younger they often asked who letters were from. I used to say the ones with those clear plastic bits were from Bill.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Happy days.

ReplyDeleteGreat FNSI project. That guy 'Bill' is far too busy everywhere. ....lol

This looks so good. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI really hope Bill doesn't have too much of a chance to fill it up!!
Bill sends his mail worldwide. Your project is great and that is so neat it is your local P. O.!
ReplyDeleteI worked on that horrid Fall wall hanging that was all crooked. Ripped it all apart and put it back together. I still plan to post about it later today.
Great idea.... and it is so effective.... your children must have worried about this boyfriend of yours!!

lol,lol,hope Bill doesn't send you any letters,lol,thats a good one Bev
ReplyDeleteVery lovely work. I hope that Bill stays away from you (and me) also!
ReplyDeleteBill really gets around. Seems that we all know him a little too well. ;o) What a great idea, your mail holder is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFab project! I'm with you...no mail from Bill would be great!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Bev.
ReplyDeleteLovely gift for "Bill"
What could be more perfect for holding the mail than the post office? It's far too elegant for the likes of Bill.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great mail holder. Gone are the days where there was just a counter at the post office. It is now filled with all sorts of things to tempt the customer as they wait in line!
ReplyDeleteYour roses and lavenders look beautiful.
Lovely holder for Bill, Bev. He doesn't get anything special in my house. :) lol. Hugs,
ReplyDeletewow, that looks really great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to store Bill's mail. If you see him please tell him to stop mailing me too!
What a great project... looks great! Esp like that you used fabric (gorgeous fabric) that you had saved from another project.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you don't get too many letters from Bill!
:)
Love your explanation of who Bill is....It turned out great :) Barb.

Your mail holder is fantastic, I love your post office on the front. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the 'Bill' mail. He must be a busy guy to send all that mail around! Great job on the holder!
ReplyDeleteOh I do like... the mail holder and telling the kids the letters are from Bill. I might borrow that.
ReplyDeleteMy friday night sew in was a disaster... I was sick in bed. So very disappointing... I had imagined a big night of sewing but it wasn't to be. All good now though so I should count my blessings.
What a neat idea! You are very clever... as for that Bill, he has a lot to answer for!

ReplyDeleteI love this!! I keep telling myself that I need to come up with a "mail slot" for our mail but I keep putting it off. Seeing yours inspires me to finally attempt my own. Thanks Bev!
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute design for your mail holder. Nice job on the embroidery to show your local post office.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.....;o)
