Cross stitch covered box gift set

Hi everyone, I have been doing quite a few exchanges lately, here is the cross stitched covered box and accessories I sent to Hazel from the
Quietly Stitching blog this week.
The exchange I received from Hazel is shown below.
I made the box and covered it with this beautiful fabric from Shabby Fabrics in America, I also made the pin keeps and little pillow using free patterns from:
Gazette 94 for the rose pattern, please see the previous post for the link to this pattern.
Amitie pattern is from DesFilles et une Aiguille blog.
I made the polymer clay roses and the buttons from polymer clay.

You can see a tutorial showing how to make the box at my finishing tutorials blog here

Hazel sent me the most gorgeous stitching set below, I am thrilled with it.
Hazel made the gorgeous bag and filled it with the lovely matching needlebook and little scissor pillow.
Thankyou Hazel, I shall treasure them always.
Thankyou for all of the lovely comments, I really appreciate them.
Happy stitching!
Best Wishes and Happy Stitching.

    Dear Lynn,
    you have made and received wonderful exchanges. Of course I love the stitched works, but your polymere roses I adore! I also tried to make polimere pins, but for this work, my fingers are to clumsy 😉

    Dear Lynn,
    What darling things you turn out! And wasn't Hazel's exchange gift just gorgeous, too! Both of you went all out to please the other. I'm ready for ours starting in August, if you are!

    Oooh, Lynn what a lovely exchange.
    Your gorgeous goodies look so snug nestled into their beautiful box. The fabric really is fabulous. I love the way you have backed the little pinkeep in the gingham and the pillow in the pretty green rosy design. These little details really make the whole package special and that's before you include the unique little clay accessories.
    Your gift from Hazel is stunning. She is really talented and has put a lot of thought into her work.

    Oh wow! So lovely! Your exchanges, both the giving and receiving, are fabulous ! Love those polymer clay roses too. So very pretty. I just love how you take the simplest cross-stitchings and make them absolutely fantastic with all the details. I must start stitching again. Best wishes, Tammy
