Happy mothers day

I made this pincushion for Barb, my partner in the Lets celebrate swap.  Ran by lovely Karen at Mrs Martins quilt shop.
 I designed the pin cushion and added the Gail Pann stitchery. it was such a fun project to do. I hope you like it Barb. I also sent Barb some fabrics and buttons but I forgot to take a photo of them. You can see them at Barb's blog.
 Barb sent me this beautiful package wrapped in Tilda fabric, I was excited right from the start after I saw the fabric.
 Inside were these lovely goodies, fat quarters, buttons in the most pretty colours, cosmo threads and a quilt pattern.

 A nice treat is the yummy chocolates, mars bars for the boys and time out for me, perfect. Thankyou Barb, I love everything you sent me.

My beautiful family gave me an iphone. It was a great moment, they sat my down at the kitchen table and all the boys including hubby had a smirk on their faces, I'm thinking what on earth have they bought for me. I had to shut my eyes and then when I opened them there was a Dick Smith bag in front of me. As soon as I saw that I knew what it was.  I have been talking about iphones for awhile now so it was a wonderful surprise. I love you guys, thankyou.

Happy mothers day to all mums out there, I hope you have a wonderful day with the ones you love.
