Any way here is my Plan B for a blog post; my partner in the recent Quilting Gallery mug rug swap has received my parcel so now I will 'unveil' what I sent to Kristen, who lives in New York State.
I got a lovely message from Kristen after she got my parcel and I believe her little boy loves his book. He will learn so many Australian animal names from this book and it's lots of fun!
We had to make 2 mug rugs and when we signed up we received the patterns...'Cottage on the Hill' and 'Butterfly Cottage'...a mixture of embroidery, appliqué and patchwork.
I added a couple of extras to the parcel...'bits' of Australia....
A storybook for Kristen's son, some Cottage GardenThreads, and one of Nature's Face cotton printed squares...with rainforest and a wallaby peeping out of the foliage...

What lovely designs, sounds like a lovely swap........those threads are amazing, I might have to try and track some of those down!!
They look lovely. I love anything cottagey or with gardens. I'm sure she will be thrilled with them. Xx
What great "extras" you included -especially to think if her son. Interesting fabric too - what find!
Lovely designs Maria - looking forward to seeing the ones you receive. Those cottage garden threads look gorgeous - they are always popping up on blogs from down under and I keep trying to find a UK supplier but no luck yet. xx
So very cute love the thread
very nice mug rugs far to nice to risk spilling coffee on. Love those threads too
My son had "One Woolly Wombat" when he was little. I'm glad it is still around for kids to enjoy today. Such a great gift for a child overseas!
Pretty mug rugs and a lovely package too! You are so sweet to add a book for her son. Love the thatched roof.
