I hope everyone had a glorious day yesterday..... I'm afraid I didn't get to comment on many posts but I did love reading them all
************************************************************
Was I ever spoilt with the Christmas blogger swap gifts....
Cheryll was a 6 item partner and this was the parcel for under the tree.....
a gorgeous cushion ... look at that striking design
..... and don't you love this extra detail of Ho Ho quilting on it?
... and the prettiest buttons at the back to hold it shut...
Thanks so much Cheryll... even the stuffing for the cushion was provided....
I had two 6 items swap partners and this is the table runner I received from Dawnie (who I had not met before)
... the twelve days of Christmas....
there is so much detail in this item... two circles needleturned ... each circle is a different picture of the 12 items in the 12 days of Christmas song... and you can see the fabric is also of the 12 days....
I love the curved border too and see... it was specially designed by Dawnie herself....
Thank you so much Dawnie.... it's a work of art....
My secret partner in the SSCS was Clare (also someone I have not met before) who sent me this wonderful wallhanging.....
... again I just want to show the detail with these tiny buttons and beautiful stitching and peeper border....
... and specially signed on the back too...
Thank you so much Clare.... Hubz has been 'requested' to make a special hanging rack for this one ... I love it
I love hand made items... making them and also getting them and these are all going to be much loved and you all remembered each Christmas along with my ornie collection... thank you so much ladies...
I think one of the best gifts is the new friendships our swap goodies bring with them so thanks Chookyblue and Maree for making these one's happen.....
My other favourite gift at Christmas is hearing from family far and wide.... here is a picture of my 6 grandchildren
