Yes, Nene, I have received your package, I did let Have 4 Boys know. I thought I had posted that I had received. I am really sorry for the expensive postage. Thank you. I will open and post pics soon.

Well it is Saturday the 5th here in Australia and I have just opened my package from Nene, Thank you. A lovely Fat Quarter, ornament print and a plastic bauble with a masked snowman decal on it. Looks like I will be the first to post a picture.

I was assigned to be your swap angel, Nene. I mailed your package out on Tuesday and the mail clerk told me it is expected to be delivered on Monday, December 7th. I'm really sorry you haven't received yours from your partner. Hang in there, you do have something on the way!

Posting some pictures of the projects I got done at the recent Christmas retreat. Gifts for my Grandsons and the Santa & Raindeer mats are for orders and gifts. I have to put eylets in the tree skirt and add cord for lacing. The Batman stockings were a print that I quilted and machine embroidered their names on. The tree skirt was also printed and I quilted and lined it. Alos the Christmas Books are fabric and also purchased as a panel. I am making them their annual ginger ornament. This year it will be a Boy Scout Ginger as they have joined cubs this year.

Also a pic of a Button bag that I made as a gift for a friend.

Huurrrrraaaayyyy!!!! It's opening day!!!

Ohhh!!! How hard it was been not being allowed to open my box knowing it was come such a long way!! And also knowing it contains something beautiful which has been lovingly made by a fellow sewer!!

Here are my fabulous ornaments from ‘M-fay’ in Australia!

I look in awe of her fabulous handy work! Aren’t they divine!!! I really am blessed to receive such beautiful ornaments from so far away!!

Thank you so so much for making this a very special swap!!

I'm so glad you like them Jacquie. I was worried the umbrella wouldn't travel well so I included the little bought one with a kookaburra on it. The kookaburra is an Australian bird and it's call is like laughter. A really joyous sound.you could probably Google it to hear it's call.

Here are my pretties from Hav4boys. She sent me an extra special package, more like a secret santa box! First photo shows the entire LOOT! Second pic shows the 11 FQs she sent me! Then a very special pair of socks. I love those socks, Hav! And last but not least are the three handmade ornaments she made... so cute and well done. There was also box for sewing tools and a special seam ripper, and a flying geese tool. I hope I'm not leaving anything out... A great gift from our swap leader! Thanks so much for a very special package, Hav!

Can't wait to see all the ornaments people have made. Merry Christmas!

I had told CookyIN I couldn't open my package until after 6pm today. Well as luck would have it I am in the hospital fighting the mighty COVID. So hubby opened it and sent me a picture. I hope the chocolate is still around when I go home next week! Thanks so much, Sue!

RevPam -- Oh no! So sorry to hear that. Your ornament says "Blessings" and that's just what I wish for you.

I opened your package too -- I had no idea we were sending to each other -- and can't believe how generous you are. What a treasure trove! And I love the angel you made. She will get a place of honor in my sewing space year round. I will post a photo tomorrow, but won't be surprised if I can't fit it all in. Please know how grateful I am for everything you sent -- it will all be put to good use.

Most of all, I hope you have a swift recovery and are home soon to celebrate a Merry Christmas with your family!
