Peg's gifts

I was honored that I got to make things for Peg.
The Clock is a new pattern by Ramona Hermann of Flutterby designs.  The other is a design board.


This is my take on another new pattern by Petals and Patches (there's has hand stitching) I love this one will be making more, great size.

I have heard from Peg and she loved her gifts.




OMG

 

YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM CAROL LEE

OMG….

just need to take some photos…

This is for you Carol Lee  xxxx

Spoiled Rotten!!!

Gorgeous Fiona has spoiled me rotten......I could not stop smiling when I opened my parcels.
Gorgeous bunny, chokkies (which are waiting until I feel better), beautiful card, the sweetest bookmark...love a pretty bookmark and an adorable little thread catcher that just happens to match this gorgeousness....
So perfect and I am now known as "Posh Stitcher" because I have never made myself one and now I have this beautiful one...inside there was thread, scissors and extra hexies...
I just adore it, French General fabrics and an Anni Downs design too!!!
Thank you beautiful generous friend....LOVE LOVE LOVE it all! Thanks to the dynamic duo Peg and Shez for keeping this joy in our lives.
Hugs Michelle xx

HAPPY DANCING

 Woohoo!!!! Look what arrived for me today from Christine.






The pincushion is now my favourite , it is absolutely beautiful and shall stay on my coffee table next to my couch where I sit and sew. The project folder is also quite special.




 When I opened it I found scissors, quilting needles, 3 beautiful DMC threads some pins and a gorgeous repro fat 1/4. Oh my! I love the chosen fabrics and colours.  I think Christine must have ESP because she also sent me my favourite choccie, Lindt dark Raspberry Intense. YUMMY!!!!

Thanks so much Christine for these awesome gifts.

Gorgeous Gifts from Barb

Couldn't wait to show you the gorgeous contents of my parcel from Barb -
This gorgeous hexie table centre with my favourite little people on it.  It's just beautiful - this photo does not do it justice.
How cute are they?
And such yummy fabric Barb has backed/bound them with as well.  Will be perfect on my coffee table over the Winter Barb, thankyou so very much and then of course it will have to stay for xmas decorating.

And Barb being the beautiful, generous person that she is added more -
Isn't the fabric gorgeous on the left - havn't seen hexie fabric anywhere - love it.   Also a pretty Cottage Garden thread and some yummy Raspberry Lindt chocolate - a favourite - amazing it stayed intact to take a photo. 

Thankyou Barb - I LOVE my beautiful gifts - you know me so very well. Cheryl

My Parcel Has Arrived

This wonderful parcel arrived in my letterbox yesterday from gorgeous Barb. Woo hoo. Thankyou so much Barb

WHAT A TREAT!!!!!

When I saw that we had been granted the Royal decree to open our first swap gift I nearly did a hammy running to the bench because this had been sitting there for a day...
 
 
My parcel was from the gorgeous Shez and how thoughtful of her to decorate the box with beautiful Christmas stamps, made the box very festive.  I carefully (well not really) removed the brown paper..
 
 
Another box, Shez this isn't one of those parcel's that is just filled with boxes and paper and then a lolly in the middle is it?  Then I found this...
 
 
How pretty does that look.... But wait till you see what was inside.....Drum roll please....
 
 
Is this not the most gorgeous bag you have ever seen.  So beautifully made and with my favourite fabric I keep looking at it thinking how lucky I am.  But wait there was a whole pack of goodies inside.
 
This beautiful matching needle roll to go with it complete with packets of needle.  It looks so pretty all wrapped up. And then there was this.....
 
 
So I was very careful with the next parcel....
 
 
A matching pair of gorgeous birds (I'm sorry the photo doesn't do them justice you can't see the beautiful glitter on them).  I was really touched by these because I know Shez knows I always buy these little birds whenever I find them, these birds were my mother's favourite Christmas ornament and her tree was always full of them, they always remind me of her so I did have a little teary moment.
 
 
And lucky for me Shez added some chocolate which I'm now about to eat with a cuppa.
 
What a wonderful parcel, what a great group and Shez you are an amazing generous person
 
THANK YOU
 
Keryn
