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

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 ……
