Today it's time for me to show what I made for this fun bloghop Say it with flowers! Finally! This fun bloghop is organized by the lovely Madam Samm at Sew We Quilt , and Carol from Just let Me Quilt is our lovely cheerleader.
I have been stitching and sewing two, actually three items.
The first one I sewed is a Knitting Needle Roll. I used a tutorial from Handknits by Susan
As I wasn't quite satisfied I sewed another one. I have several kinds of needles, so I'm sure I can use them both. This piece of fabric brings up sweet memories, as it is brought to me by friends, who, seeing this fabric, knew I would love it!
The third item took some more time. I stitched tulips, lots of small tulips, as I wanted to show I am a crafter from the Netherlands. I used part of a chart designed by Nicole Dostal that appeared in Just Cross Stitch March/April 2012.
I finished it as a purse, in which I can take my stitch accessories.
And then there is something else I wanted to show. I just finished it yesterday, as a gift to DD who is going to visit the USA. She will be away for at least seven weeks. I know, it doesn't shout: flowers, but the flowers are added in the picture. And, there is a stitched flower in it!It was such a fun to be involved in this bloghop. Thanks for visiting my blog and you are happily invited to visit the other bloggers. Here's the schedule for today:

I like all your needle cases, but I have to say the one with the tulips is wonderful. I think creating something showing where your from is always a good idea. I'm from Texas and I like to make things that represent my love for it. I enjoyed visiting you today.
Great needle holders.... I'm sure you will use both. Love the stitched tulips too...nice job!

The knitting needle bags are wonderful. (I made one earlier this year to house a 75 piece set of double points and had not a clue how to go about it but it all worked out in the end)
The stitchery floral pieces are lovely too. I hope your DD enjoys her time visiting the US.

Beautiful knitting needle case. Great idea for me, who does not knit but I do have quite a few crochet hooks! I also enjoy the large, lush flowered fabrics and now you can enjoy those blooms anytime! Thanks for sharing today.
Lovely needle rolls. All that stitching on that bag! Fabulous.
