Gifts

 The last few months I have been busy doing secret sewing, now my partners have their gifts I  can share what I made them. Our friends in stitching group had a Natalie Bird swap and I made this sweet cushion for De. This is a great project to use up little scraps or left over jelly roll strips.
 I do love Natalie's designs.
 My partner for the Let's celebrate swap Is Barb, it was her birthday at the start of April so I made her this sewing pouch and filled it up with goodies.
 This is another good project for using left over jelly roll strips. Glad you liked it Barb.
 My lovely friend Josie and I decided at the start of the year to do a little private swap and these are the gifts I made for her,  I made a stitching folder  with a sweet stitchery on it to celebrate easter.
 A little note pad holder, blogger has put these photos  the wrong way and I can't fix them so if you turn your head just a bit you will get the idea.
Also a pretty stitched pin cushion. I loved making  all the gifts, its always a relief when they say how much they love them.
Speaking of loving gifts, wait until you see what Josie made for me, it was love at first site.
I'll be back on the weekend to show you.

Have a great day.
