My partner said she likes Heather Ross, so I dug into my scrap bin, and made two simple nine-patches for the pouch.

Although linen, a neutral solid, or even low volume would have been the expected choice for the border of the nine-patches, I decided that I didn't want to do the expected. I have tons of Brown Posies in my scrap bins (it was the backing of my Maple Leaf Rag - which, by the way, I really need to finish hand-sewing the binding so I can show it off), and I thought the colours helped to unite some of the colours of the HR scraps.
It does strike a bit of the 1970's, with all the orange, brown and teal, but I'm okay with that. I was born in the 1970's after all, so it can't be all that bad.

I'm not going to show all of the charms just yet, I want my partner to get them first. But I promise I'll show them then. They are worth waiting for!

This is so sweet Barb. I have a tiny piece if that VW van fabric. It will be a sad day when that is gone. I love your pouch!
I saw this on Flickr and I am loving it! Wish it was coming my way, but I don't think I said I liked Heather Ross. Lucky partner!
And the brown posies - never thought of the 70's when I saw it. I loved that print from the get go.
Lucky partner! I'd say the border fabric is an inspired choice, actually. Gorgeous!
Omg! Send it my way!
This is so cute! You've done a lovely job with the pouch Barb!!
