Christmas Sewing

This is what I sent to Shauna in Canada for Chookyblue's SSCS, all wrapped up in a Christmas fat quarter.

And this is what I made for Ann-Marie. Hatched & Patched Bits & Pieces purse - lots of fiddly fun.

Christmas Revealed

I still don't know who my Secret Santa is but I absolutely LOVE her gift. Look at this gorgeous table runner.

The fabric choices are perfect for me, and her workmanship is amazing. I am very happy with it so thank you again. And thanks to Chookyblue for organising the swap. I hope she has the stamina to do it again in 2012. 

I was also spoilt my friend Ann-Marie at Lavender Blue Stitches who, in her spare time (????) made me this beautiful paper tole picture.

I can't wait to get home and show them off. Thanks girls.

We have spent Christmas with all my husbands family and it has been a lot of fun. Far too much food, wine and chocolate......... but lots of fun. I hope your celebrations, however big or small,  have been fun too.

SSCS

I have had a lovely week opening the pre-Christmas gifts that my sneaky anonymous secret Santa sent. It has been so much fun opening a gift every couple of days, and it has been driving my kids crazy!!!! I especially love the tin heart - can use that one all year round. I can hardly wait to open her Christmas day present.

Thank you Secret Santa for being so generous - I have learned a lot of sneaky tips for next time round!

Well, I think it's time to pack the 221 and variegated red threads away for another Christmas, and get on with celebrating. Wishing everyone a wonderful and safe family Christmas.

Secret Santa Swap

It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas, and this year my first Christmas thoughts are about my first ever swap. I know who my partner is now, and I have been lurking around her blog, thinking about what special gift I can make for her. I am having a little trip to The Home Patch for supplies on Friday, so who knows what I might find.........
