FRIENDS SWAP 2011

Look at all my pretty gifts!...Khris held the annual FRIENDS SWAP..where you spell the word FRIENDS with your gifts...I had ANOTHER wonderful and generous friend this year.. her name is Marilyn from California, she sent me ALL of these wonderful and creative gifts. Here is the way she did it..
The Daisy Red and Yellow fabric was her outer wrapping paper..isn't it adorable
F - Fat Quarters (which match the wrap)
R - Reversible Runner
I - Ironing Pad...OMG wait till the girls at the shop see this...what a wonderful idea
E - Easy Peasy Grommet Bag (designed by her friend Robin) and East Meets West Quilt Pattern...(first how cute is the name for her in CA and me in NY and designed by TWO WACKY WOMEN..which is her and her friends company!
N - Note Pad cover and pen...very cool..never seen one for the Steno Pads
D - DMC Thread...very cool.....love to try new threads
S - Selvage Bag...always wanted to make one but I cut through mine al the time before I think about it....
She did a wonderful job on coming up with creative ideas...Thank you again Marilyn so very much...I love everything and can't wait to make one of the new patterns!
I was blessed again this year with another wonderful partner...last year I had Peg ...I have to admit I am sad to say that I have not been keeping up with blogging this year because of so many family demands but I still feel as though I have blessed by meeting people through blogging that I would never have gotten to meet other wise...Marilyn and Peg I thank you both for your gifts that as I use them and look at them I will always know that I have met you and have become dear FRIENDS....blessings
