2012 Christmas cracker swap.

I've joined in a swap of a Christmas cracker (you know the one that you pull at Christmas?).

I needed to make and embellish an 8" x 13" block in colours and style liked by the recipient, add lace at each end of the block, pop some fabric at the back, then roll it around a cardboard cylinder (paper towel size), filled with all sorts of goodies to further delight her, when she opens it on Christmas day.

I need to find some fabric that I know she will love, and fill the cylinder, before assembling it all together securely, finishing with ribbon round each end.
