I am part of a group of 12 women that celebrate a Christmas gift exchange each year. Instead of making 12 gifts, we each make fivK, hence the name Five of a kind. This year I’ve made travel cases. I started with a pattern by P3 Designs and made a few minor changes. I changed the size slightly and added the hexies, triangle thread catchers and little pin cushions that can Velcro to the front when the case is open.
Of course I had to make a sample for myself. Here’s mine all loaded up. Everyone won’t get all the goodies like mine, they will have to add their own supplies, but I did include the small cutting mat and a small ruler.
The little triangle thread catcher folds flat so it can be tucked inside along with the little pin cushion.
I love mine and I hope the five that receive one like it too. The exchange is on Friday the December 7th. I’ll share the five gift I receive after that
Enjoy,

You put a lot of time into these great gifts--what lucky friends! I must confess, I stole your idea for MY group of 15 quilters when I read about it last year. We'll be meeting on December 9th. I made a pieced red cardinal table-topper in a hexagon shape, 18" across and I know 5 of these friends will love them. Can't wait to hear about your exchange!
ReplyDeleteYour travel cases are just wonderful
ReplyDeleteWow, what neat gifts! I love the fabric you used for the outside of the cases. The words are perfect for friendship gifts :)
