This first photo is what Stephanie sent me. A great pot holder with such fun fabrics. A very cute pincushion. Notice the bird on it and look at the card with all those birds that I see in my backyard all the time. Stephanie knows I like to watch the birds. And check out the red bobbin. Love it. I have never seen a red one before in all my trips to antique stores. I don't think I am going to wind any ribbon on it. I think it will just lay on the counter top in front of the container with all my other bobbins. It is going to be a show off. Stephanie you are so kind and sweet to send me these goodies. Thank you so much.
Check out this needle case that Kaaren sent to me. She has noticed that I likes birds too. Look at the button.
And look inside at the scissor fob she made too. On the end of it is a sweet bird charm. Too cute. Thank you Kaaren for taking the time to get to know me and make a gift that is personal.
Remember I mentioned on this post these lovely things that Deb made me during the July swap. Well she made me a sweet hand embroidered Christmas ornament. From her house all the way from New Zealand to my house. Thanks so very much for thinking of me, Deb.
Check out this new block from Barbara Dieges. Great for Christmas. You definitely need to go over to Kaaren's blog and see her A Tisket, A Tasket quilt all finished. It is fabulous.
