Yesterday was an awesome mail day at my house. First, there was the cutest little mug rug from Linda. I'm in a swap and we're swapping every couple of months, based on the seasons or holidays. We know who our partner is each time, and Linda and I both chose to go with a winter theme this round, instead of Christmas. That way, we can use our rugs longer.
Isn't he the cutest thing? And he was wrapped in more of the red snowman fabric, which sparkles!
A somewhat larger package arrived from Maria in Australia. A couple of months ago, she posted a picture of a cushion that she had made for a swap. It was beautiful, and I commented that I was sorry I had missed out on that swap. she suggested that we do a one-partner swap, and this is what I received from her.
And here are a couple of cross stitches that I completed last week.
Keep on stitching.....Sunny
Sunny this is a lovely post! Definitely get some more pink fabrics, these ones are so pretty.

ReplyDeleteHi Sunny,
ReplyDeleteNice pink flowers as usual. That is going to be a lovely quilt one day. You did great opening your mail, beautiful items you received. And, if you have to go to work, at least everything around you is beautiful. What a sunrise!
How cool, a personalized block with your name and the machine with your interests. Very nice.

As a friend I want to stop your from going to the fabric shop. Because we all know what's going to happen when you go looking for pinks. But as a quilter I can't wait to see what all you buy! Go Sunny Go!!! (Oh I see, the quilter side of me won.)
