#fqrlondon 2013 Sample Swap

Whilst at the Fat Quarterly Retreat I am going to take part in the Sample swap. I thought long and hard as to what to make but inspiration arrived when I took a little two hour course at Stitchcraft Studio with Tina. Tina is a talented artist so I apologise to her in advance, as I have adapted her pattern a little (I cannot do the arty bit).

 So without further ado, I have Liberty Book of Pockets to take as my samples.
 Book of Pockets
I have made them in two different Liberty fabrics and used vintage buttons on both the pockets and the books. Each book is slightly different as the buttons and prints vary.

Front of the book.

Now the eagle eyed among you will notice that there are five books when only three are needed for the sample swap. One of the extra books is for Helen as we are doing a little side swap. That leaves one book without a home. Does anyone fancy doing a side swap with me? I am open to offers!!!

 I am also planning to make up a few Fat Eights packs of Liberty fabric to sell at the FQ Retreat Quilt Market, if there was any interest. Let me know if you think that these might sell or if you are interested in having one.

    These are gorgeous, Di! I've been ill over the last few days and still haven't finished my swap items (although I only have to do the binding on them now) or my packing. I see Amy is happy to do another side swap with you, lucky girl. See you soon!
