I made this "Hello Spring" scissor fob for Eva in the Netherlands as part of the Spring Exchange on CSE. The Lizzie Kate design was stitched on 14ct sky blue aida with DMC varigated threads. The cording was handmade with DMC floss. The cording drill I got at a consignment shop last summer comes in really handy! I took the stitched piece to JoAnn Fabrics to choose a coordinating fabric for the back. The clerk thought the piece was "really cute!" On the back of the fob, I made a little pocket to store needle threaders. It took me about 4 hours to stitch the front and another hour or so to make it into a fob with the cording. I actually finished the project on 3/2/07 but didn't want to show it until after Eva received it along with the other items I chose for the exchange.Here's what I received from Eva:
A dutch pattern book, a pink ornament frame, a pink purse, a piece of 28ct evenweave, "Smile" chart by Sam Sarah, and a nice card. Thank you, Eva.

Oh so pretty! I just love the blues in this piece! Great job and I know she loves it!
I LOVE it! It is blue (favorite color), flowers (for spring I'm so tired of winter), and the pocket for the threaders is a great idea (never seen that before). What a great finish.

Meari, this came out soooo cute! I just love the fabric and the brightness of the colors, varigated, eh? Makes me change my mind about not liking varigated threads, I just love the way this looks!

I love your spring fob. Blue is my favorite color, so this is just the best. What a neat idea to add the pocket on the back for needle threaders. Never have seen that done before. You are just soooooo creative. Great job, Meari!!!

What a cute fob!
Cute fob Meari - I really like how you put a pocket on the back to hold a needle threader - what a great idea, it is a perfect place to hold a needle threader.
