I recently joined a couple of swaps and now that the items have been received I can finally show pics..
First swap was a Brown Paper Bag Swap hosted by Clare’s Craftroom on FB.
(A Paperbag swap is where you send 1 fat¼ of fabric and some buttons,ribbon,etc.)
This is what I made for my partner Maria who can be found @ veryspecialcreations.
And since I had a small bit of fabric left I also made this.
Just loved the wee bows.
I sent my Maria a fat ¼ with chooks on it and was totally gobsmacked when my package arrived.
A lovely oven mitt and a superb pincushion.I love my items very much thanks again Maria.
Each segment of chook fabric has a chook on it and this pincushion is a whopping 10” round,and it has wee pockets on the edges. I have been saying for ages I need to make a bigger pincushion and was just stoked when I opened this package.
The next swap was the Once a Season Swap hosted by Cheryll over at Gone Stitchin, and theme was Spring.
This is what I made for my Peta, I also sent her a Tilda book and I popped in some buttons and some wee pegs with lady beetles on the pockets.The fabric is yellow daffodils.
Peta mads the most gorgeous item and truly never thought I would ever call one of these gorgeous in my life..
See that snail it is so dang cute. Also there was some lovely pouches with flower seeds in them and a beautiful fat ¼ withy bright flowers..loved them all thanks again Peta.
I love these hanging bags I have many and not one is used for pegs.
Cheers Vickie
