Swaps & Bees
I was surprised today to receive a package postmarked Galway - I didn't have anything outstanding from Cindy at Fluffy Sheep so what could it be?
I didn't manage to take a pic today to do justice, (so I pinched this one from Anneliese) as it never really got properly light - these lovely goodies came from Anneliese, - she had started by making me a mug rug that got too big (oh, what a shame....) so went on to make me a second one!! Aren't they super!

Thank you Anneliese for the lovely surprise

I have had a good couple of sewing days - I have made progress with my Chinese Whispers project that I can't share with you until 2014 - yes, 2014..........I have been working on another secret project too.........I got the binding on to my strippy Velocity quilt, so the end is in sight, and I have made a couple of blocks for Judith's Bee Blessed. These were quick and easy to make and I reckon would make a stunning quilt, in fact I think I might make more blocks using a charm pack that I have, adjusting the dimensions just a little to save waste on the charms.
You should try a couple..........

Gorgeous scrappy swap items! I love your BB blocks and I'm glad you're making progress on your Chinese Whispers project - is there a size limit? Of course, I'm most excited by the news that Strippy Velocity has a binding - eek!!!

ReplyDeleteOut of interest did you a pattern / tutorial for your journal cover or make it up? I'm thinking they'll make some nice stocking fillers!

Both packages are great, and pleased to hear you had some good sewing days.

ReplyDeleteThe swaps packages are both lovely, it is fun to be in these smaller swaps I think. And I look forward to seeing the secret sewing, but seriously - 2014, you must be putting it in a book.
