After I saw that beautiful tear drop sachet that Chris did a day or so ago, I just had to try something to see if I could make something like it without having to buy another design. Well, I took the panel from SD666 Nekayla Lace and stitched it out. I followed her gracious instructions, and this is what I came up with. I have not put any potpouri in it yet, so it remains open, but since I did not have the items to make the tassle I just used crystals. The desing that I used is proably a little smaller, but I think that it turned out realatively cute. I do not think that I will add the tassel, for this is going in a card to my sister. I did learn something today. After I stitched the lace to the organza I put fray check on it, and it caused a color bleed aroun the edges of the lace - I will be more careful next times.

Very pretty! You did a great job! I am sure that Chris will be flattered that you saw hers and liked it so much that you wanted one too! Both of you do beautiful work so it is not a matter of competition but taste!

This is so pretty - congratulation!

It's very pretty Dlonna

it's lovely!

What a very clever idea. Shows you it helps to think. I am also scared of using the fray check as it leaves a mark.

It's very pretty. Good job.

WONDERFUL!!!!

It looks great you did a wonderful job and your sister will love it, I know I do. *4U and everyone

IT LOOKS GREAT BETH!!!!!!

I've just opened up the Projects and saw this - you've done a great job. And, like I said I'm sure you could do this with almost any lace design. I've finished off 5 of the 8 today. Will finish off the rest tomorrow when I have Cooper here.

Your sister will love it!. Sorry to read that the fraystop made the lace bleed. I've made mine in white and of course it didn't bleed.

Love and blessings Chris

I don't know I would be able to get anything done with a little sweetie like Cooper visiting me. It was the lame that bled, but it really did blend only on the edges, so was not that bad. I forgot to pick up the lavender (that is what I was going to use) while I was out today. Maybe later.

Beth it looks lovely. I'm sure your sister is going to love it. Hugs Yvonne
