Hot Pad Swap

Cheryl from Gone Stitchin' recently hosted a Hot Pad swap......

Lookie what I received last week.... all the way from Donna in Texas, USA....


I love it lots and it is already in use in my kitchen.... this was Donna's first swap and has had such fun she has signed up for more!!!  Donna is a relatively new blogger - I'm sure she'd love you to pop in and say G'day....

I sent this one off to my secret partner......


it was fun stitching this together

if you feel like some fun go visit Cheryl
she is the Queen of Swaps

Sign ups for the Let's Exchange are in progress for a Tea Towel swap
This closes on April 15th

Then of course Santa Sack Swap closes April 30th

I'm enjoying making items that are new to me
and of course the best part is meeting new bloggy friends

G'day

    What wonderful hot pads.
    I want to try some, thought it might be a good idea to make one for each of the kids, for easter.

    I am already friends with Donna. I love the mat she sent you. The bird on the one you made is lovely. Soon there may be a need for a swappers anonymous group :D

    Hello Fiona,

    I do love the mats. Isn't it great that you have something made especially for you from a complete stranger who becomes a bloggy friend.
    Happy days.
