Oops so slack of me here are some pics of what I sent to my swap partner Pat as the main gift and also what she sent me.
I wanted to make Pat something different , so the idea sprang to mind to make a block keeper –so I merely cut and sewed and this is what transformed.
Block keeper I loved the final result.
Inside the block keeper..a wee pocket for scissors and a place for needles.
And this handsome reindeer (even if I do say so myself)..found this pattern in an old Homespun mag and knew straight away that I wanted to make it for Pat.
And my gift from Pat was gorgeous.
Lovely wrapped with beautiful ribbon
And inside hmmm looky..lovely bag(which I have used)-a pair of beautiful pink earrings (which I have worn) cutest bag thing to pop in your bag to hold your keys and yum yum .
And this fantastic Christmas stitchery hanging..with some levely placemats…
Wonderful indeed..
Unfortunately one of the parcels I have sent over seas ( for the SSCS) has not made it to it’s destination ..so I will make up another gift and mail it off…
Cheers Vickie

What lovely handmade projects, but that Reindeer cracks me up - he's so funny, cute and well made...he just sits there with his legs dangling down...

What a great idea - a block keeper. I'm always losing my work, I think I might make one for me. Love the reindeer, I have that pattern and have made one of those reindeers.....have even used that pattern to make a cow and a sheep. He's a bit versatile!! Great job. Kind regards, Anita.
