Friendship Bag Swap

A little while back I joined a Friendship Bag Swap hosted by the Quilting Gallery.


This is the lovely little "Dutch" bag I received all the way from the Netherlands. Thank you, Erica!
Check out all the wonderful goodies that were inside....
Butter candies.... YUM!
Cute little Dutch shoes, and some beautiful blue and white fabrics with Dutch inspired prints.

Upon receiving my bag... it quickly made me realize how I too needed to get a bag off to my Swap partner. So... here is the bag sent yesterday to my secret swap partner filled with some Moda goodness.

Thank you, Michele for hosting such a surpising event and to Rachel for the wonderful bag tutorial!

My first swap arrived!

Things have been crazy busy around here that I forgot to post my package that I received from my wonderful swap partner Sandy from the "Wishing it was Spring" fat quarter swap! I was so surprised to receive more than just the fat quarters! Included in the package were some yummy almond kisses (which did not last very long...mmmm) and an adorable little scrabble square pendant. I also love the tiny pink ric-rac that was tied around my new fabric.

Thank you Sandy... It is perfect! Now... something special to make with it.... any suggestions?

Gifts, Swaps, and Fonts... OH MY!

First off... I want to send Bloom a HUGE THANK YOU!!!

You were so sweet to think of me when I posted about Camille's brush with Aussie fame in Homespun Magazine. I love my new magazine and especially love the beautiful card with "blooms" you sent me! I was so excited when I checked my mail and saw a package from Australia had arrived! I immediately had to read through this wonderful magazine. I think I will be making a few of the projects that are in this issue. THANK YOU... THANK YOU... THANK YOU... Bloom!


Second, I would like to thank Abby for sending me here to participate in a Swap! This will be my very first swap and I am so very excited! You will have to make sure you go sign up today!

Oh.... and be sure to go welcome Abby to blogland. She is 10 and is learning how to sew. I found out about her through my little giveaway I am having.



And finally... You have to try this cool online font tool out! Very fun and easy! I even made my own font... HOW COOL!
