Hi all,
I'd like to share with you the gorgeous, handsome giraffe (and other goodies) that Crqltr sent to me. I have thanked her in a pm which included the tracking number for her package from me. She should receive that on Monday.
She did the beautiful, smaller, animals print mug rug after completing the giraffe piece, which she thought was too large. I would have been very content had I received one or the other, but the both of them together... What a lucky, lucky girl I am. I am so in love with this giraffe piece<3<3<3.
It is pretty clear to me that she truly enjoys embroidery. Check out the tall fella's tail and mane-they are beautiful. In the gray areas is vine and leaf quilting-not sure that you can see it. I totally love this piece! I hang all my mug rugs I receive (and mini quilts) in my sewing room. When I look at them, it always amazes me how creative folks are-whether an original design, or web-inspired. Our personal flavor goes into every piece and I just love that.
Included in her package was an information sheet about Petoskey stones, a Petoskey stone set in a magnetic holder, a pattern for a two-card holder (I see small 'extra' gifts in future swaps
, and a sweet personal note card.
And don't you just love the funky zebra fabric she used on the back of the animals print mug rug? I do!
Crqltr, again, thank you for everything. I was fun being your swappie.
Best,
deb in Maine
