a gift for two twin girls

A friend of us has two twin daughers and we wanted to make them a cute gift. They will be soon 2 y.o. so, the classical blanket wasn't a good idea.

So, my friends and I stitched and made this:

They are two photos' album, two towels and 4 sacks to contain the albums but also for further other uses.

My contribute is this one:

the children are too young to understand, but their mother liked a lot our gift and we are pleased to have made a friend happy :-)

Something tells me you already know this pattern...

With some friends I am working on a secret project and due to this reason, I can't show this work on my blog yet, but I can come here and show it to you, can't I? :-)

And... I think this pattern isn't exactly new to the blog! LOL

Since almost nobody knows I also have an English blog... I think I will post it there too ;-)

Hello, my first post

Hello,
I am Maria Elena and I live in Italy and this is the first time I write in this blog even if I joined you more than an year ago...
I love Margaret Sherry, off course, or I wouldn't be here LOL. I have many work in progress and have done several patterns in the past.
Yesterday I found 2 small penguins I stitched in 2006 for a Christmas project. On that year I stitched almost 20 of them, but these 2 remained in a box until yesterday when I decided to make two Christmas decorations of them:

What do you think about them?
My work in progress (ok, my UFO's, let's be honest! LOL) Are the 2006 Calendar Cats and the 3 stitching mice (I don't remember the name of the pattern right now).
