A Wedding Gift

My lovely sister in law Kara got married last month so naturally I decided to make her something.  I knew she wanted table linens and I knew she loves linen so here's what I came up with.

brown tea towels with a cream strip and stamped bird

cream and brown place mats

I also made a long simple table runner out of that creamy/beige linen but somehow forgot to take a picture of it.  (Kara maybe you can send me one?)  That's okay though, seeing as the others are all taken on my not so pretty iron board.  (which I just replaced... so much prettier now!)

My other sister in law Shelly (the one who does all my logos, banners, etc.) and another lovely friend Jessie and I all took Kara out one night for a little bachelorette party and rather than each getting her random pieces of lingerie we all contributed differently to one special package.  My contribution was a linen lingerie wash bag and some lavender sachets.

again, lame pictures but it's a drawstring bag hand stamped.

This was my first time working with real linen and despite the fact that it was more challenging than cotton, I loved it.  I've already made Ara a pinafore out of it and really hope to get some more projects made in linen soon!
