A little while ago my new blogger friend Deborah and I decided to do a one on one swap with each other. These are the gifts I made her. I loved making the mini quilt, I think I'll be making more of those. The mug rugs turned out so nice. I was really pleased with them.
I also sent a few other goodies like some fabric and an Australian tea towel. Deb told me she collects tea towels so I was happy I included that.
I enjoyed making these swap gifts to, this was for the colour swap and I made for Anita who wanted pinks. I found quite a few in my reproduction stash. I also made a pin cushion in the same fabrics as the mini quilt.
I included some shabby chic fabrics and some ribbons in different pinks and I even found some pink envelopes. I'm glad you liked them all Anita.
I have been busy stitching Fernhill by Lynette Anderson, its a nice project to do.
Its a mystery quilt so we don't know what each month will look like until it arrives. Kind of fun really.
I would like to thank my wonderful neighbour Amanda for making me this beautiful crochet brooch. It came as a kit on the latest Mollie Makes magazine and as I can't crochet I asked Amanda to do it for me. Her work is beautiful.
Now its time to get off this computer and get some sewing done. I hope you find some sewing time today.
