Lots of Goodies & One Flower Wednesday.

Okay who stole last week because it just disappeared !!!
Last Friday my friend Sue and I went to a sewing retreat for the weekend. I was surprised how many of us took machines.

001

I managed to finish quilting my Mystery Quilt, start on the Henrietta one and do some hand sewing. As well a lots chatting eating and drinking. Was a wonderful weekend spent with my stitching friends.
We stayed at my DD2’s overnight on Sunday and drove home on Monday.

Last night while watching tele I managed to complete my flower for One Flower Wednesday. Must find time to start stitching some together.

In the mail today there were THREE parcels. How lucky am I. Lots of Goodies.

002

My Scissors Keeper Swap Partner Florence from France really spoilt me. I love ALL my pressies. Thank you sew much.

It was fun opening all the beautiful gifts


Look at the lovely stitched Scissors Keeper and Needle case she made for me. Sew cute.

On the needle case it says” Love with all your Heart” in French.
My DH and I have already tasted the yummy Swiss Chocolate.

My Christmas Swap Block from Sue.B. with some great fabric.
