Valentine Swaps

This year I participated in two “Valentine” Swaps. 

 First one is the “Initial Valentine Swap” organised by the lovely Cheryll and my partner was Marilyn from NSW ( no blog )

I made Marilyn a pincushion and used the beautiful Stitchery designed by Wendy from Sugar Lane Quilts which was a free gift for joining FNSIs

 and yesterday I received my lovely Valentine gifts from Michell .

I was very spoilt…. thank you Michell for my gifts.

there was just one spot left on the wall in my cave waiting for Michell’s beautiful Heart wall hanging…


My second swap was a “Valentine Postcard” swap organised by Sheila .

 My partner was Janet who lives in the Yukon Canada, sew my card had a long way to travel. I was pleased it arrived on time..

Sheila also asked if we could make a special Valentine Card for Jeanneke in the Netherlands as she was celebrating her 60th birthday on Valentine’s  day….

I love making and receiving these Postcards…..
A huge thank you to both swap Mum’s, Cheryll and Sheila, for organising these great swaps ……

    I guess you haven't received your postcard from me... rats... Jeanekke received hers... I guess Australia is further away. Love the stitchery that you made - very pretty. And the postcard you made for Jeanekke is oh so cute! You know I love the one you sent me. :)
