This project was a design that Goode Huswife taught in a class several years back. I called and asked whether there were any left-over kits and I ended up being very lucky - I got 2 kits that were "faulty"; the pre-finished pockets had been sewn up with the wrong count linen. I was told that the linen would likely still allow for the entire design to fit, but I do have to admit that I was a tad nervous. As can be seen, it all worked out in the end!
Some minor changes: My mother's initials, both maiden and married initials, were stitched on the left side and mine stitched in the same manner on the right side. I skipped the "LH 1818" part all together. I was contemplating adding this year, but 2011 is too hard to balance evenly over a design, I think.
Thanks for looking and Happy Stitching!

What an amazing project, it looks wonderful. I have a similar pocket by another designer, I must get round to starting it.
WOW. It's just awesome. You are a lucky lady.
Congrats! I have one started in my WIP pile somewhere . . .
Your pocket is beautiful. I'm glad it all fit so perfectly. I love how the rose signs your name. ;-)
