Lillie is the other September birthday gal who participated in Birthday Exchange 2005. On her birthday - 27th Sept, she opened the all gifts that she had received. That includes a gift from me.
Yes, I also stitched a greetings card- cum - needlebook for her. This one is a bit different from what I stitched for Niza.
For Lillie's needlebook, I stitched on a piece of white aida band. I chose the calla lily pattern with a minor colour change. It is actually comes with an alphabet 'L' , since the aida band is only about 2" wide, I omit stitching the 'L'. To a person who rarely stitch on aida band (this is my 2nd time), initially I found it is a bit tricky to stitch on b'coz of the soft texture plus the smaller fabric count. Now, I wish to buy some aida bands for my stash collection *LOL*
I really enjoy stitching the needlebooks. Thanks to San's needlebook tutorial. It really inspired me to stitch for my friends.

Loved the design too, calla lily or whitecalla, a name that I sometimes use in cyberspace..LOL

I'm glad that you love it. It's purely coincidental I stitched the calla lily and your cybername is whitecalla *LOL* .
