Oh no & its’ so pretty.

I came home tonight to start making a wall hanging for my daughter for Christmas, and I cannot find it-oh I found one but that is not it-I have a horrid feeling I have accidently wrapped it up and sent it in one of my advent packages, I guess that is what happens when you try and work with such disarray grr to me..

Oh  brighter note I received my Once  season swap from Sue ,

I opened my package to find this inside

P1050208

such a gorgeous cushion cover-I don’t have an insert yet..

here is a picture from Sues blog.

Thankyou so much Sue, I loved having you as my partner and I am glad you like your gifts too..

 

I enjoyed making some items for Sue..I flicked through several months of her blog and found out she liked dragonflies..hmmm yep I got fabric that’s perfect.

This is the table runner that I made and then I found some more fabric with dragonflies on it so I made something else.And I forgot to take a picture so here is the one from Sue’s blog.

Wonderful swap all around.

Cheers Vickie

I wanted to drop in to say thank you for your kind comment on my stitch-a-long post, and had a nosey around while I was here. Lucky you receiving that beautiful cushion cover. I was looking at that very pattern just yesterday thinking how pretty is was.
