Our Friends Having Fun Swaps group has just had our third swap for the year. We had to make our partner a ruler cover.
My secret partner was none other than the lovely
My secret partner was none other than the lovely
Cheryll from Gone Stitchin'.
This is where I used to store my 16½, 12½ and 8 inch rulers.
But not anymore! No more bubble wrap for my rulers.
Chez has made me the most beautiful bag to hold all three!
The front of the bag.
The main part of the bag is for my 16½ inch ruler.

The front pocket holds my 8 inch ruler.
The back pocket holds my 12½ inch one.
Chez also sent me some lovely extra goodies.
A
tape measure/scissors set, DMC threads, cute little wooden buttons, a
magnetic needle holder,
choccies and a pack of Thangles. I've never used those before so this should be fun.

Thank you Chez. You have certainly spoilt me.
And who was I making for?
It was the other lovely Sheryl of Enjoying Life.
Shez requested a holder for her 24 inch ruler. This cover actually holds her 12 inch ruler as well.
It's a bit hard to see but there is a pocket inside
for the shorter ruler.
I added some extra goodies for Shez as well.
I just had to put this photo in as the matching threads
look so pretty with the Tilda fabric!
