Package Exchange Project

I recently participated in the Magic Garden Swap hosted by Teresa the theme for this swap was The   Secret Garden (as in the book)..and you were to send your partner 5 items.
Now it took me a bit to work out what to make for my partner but once I got into it I had a ball..
My partner was a new to me blogger Shez.
I ended up grabbing some pictures on line and printing them onto the special fabric-then they sat for couple of days whilst something came to mind to make out of them.packet swap 004

Photo’s courtesy of Shez’s blog thank you.
I ended up making a journal cover out of one picture and an umbrella cover out of the other..hmm do you know how hard it is to buy an umbrella up here when it’s not wet season yet..but I hunted and found one phew…

I also included fabric and pattern for a pin cushion, some gorgeous wood buttons with flowers on them and some charms,a variety of floral ribbon and a small roll of Moda patisserie-I’m sure they have some delicious name they are 1½”strips.
