Colour Swap Sent and Received to Annie's Dreaming...

I recently participated in a Colour Swap hosted by Lisa...

My Swapping Buddy turned out to be Annie from Annie's Dreaming...

Included in Annie's brief was that she started out a real country coloured person and now loving tomato reds...

I can now finally reveal my Swap Gifts to Annie...

Patchwork Travel Case...

highlighting a tomato red by Sandy Gervais

I included some snips...a 'velvet' pencil (I love these)...red thread, tape measure and an Anni Downs little kit... 

Needlecase by Anni...

Pin Cushion...

and reversed...

all together...

Included were a chocolate (neccesity)...some little pegs with red flower highlight...I find these great for hanging little stitcheries with on to a hanger...

tape with 'Vintage' on it...of course in red!!!

I'm still loving this sticky tape...

I even stuck a little piece on the front of each parcel!!!

Something very special has happened here...

I think the 'country' in Annie has hooked up with the 'country' in me and we are absolutely thrilled with our gifts!!!

A very special and heartfelt thank you to Lisa for arranging this swap and partnering me up with Annie...

we are enjoying getting to know each other!!!
