It was a very pleasant surprise to find out that 2 of the parcels for swaps that I sent on Monday got to their destinations yesterday. So now I can show photos showing the whole of those items and not just close up photos of corners! :-)
Firstly the gifts that I sent to
Peg in the Colour Swap...
 |
| A red scarf, knitted in a 'shell stitch' design using a fine mohair yarn which was a delight to work with :-) |
 |
| Some red soap (raspberry and marshmallow...yum? lol ), red wrapped chocolates red/white fabric basket with some red haberdashery items inside. |
And then the little mini quilt that I made for
Illene in the Mothers' Day swap. The ladies who went to the 'Stitchers Inc' saw this when it was still unquilted and had no binding...

| Thank you Jenny Elefantz for allowing me to use your lettering for the quotation that I had found on the internet .. |
I had so much fun making items for these 2 swaps, I'm looking forward to whatever I can sign up for in the months to come!
Lovely red things - I am sure Peg will appreciate that scarf as it gets cooler.
ReplyDeleteNow that I "know" Illene - I can see she will really appreciate your mini quilt.
Lovely goodies Maria. I just love that red scarf.
