Swap gifts and Splendid Sampler progress


Our Friends in stitching group enjoyed the first swap for 2016.....

it was a designer swap and Helen from Hugs and Kisses was the chosen designer.

I was soooo lucky that Jenny was sending to me and she made this fantastic hanging....

I love it......  isn't it just gorgeous.....


Jen also added a couple of lovely extras.....


Yep the chocolate is gone...... 

Jenny and I have been friends forever (about 20 years or so)  and her choice of gift says it all really.....


Thanks heaps Jenny I love love love it.....

I was sending to Sarah and these are my gifts to her....


I know how she loves the Scorched Almonds so that was easy to choose.


Sarah let me know that she likes what I have made for her so that's a bonus.

More Splendid Sampler blocks....

Block 15
Long time since I've done paper piecing but it was fun doing it again.

I do have a bit of catching up to do so I will be back soon.....

I love your tea pot quilt and the border fabric is just perfect for it. Sorry I didn't comment on it sooner, I did see it but didn't say anything - you know me 'the quiet one'.
