Patches that is such a beautiful basket and pc. I have not seen this basket before and it is so useful. Zennia a great swap.

Klaws I love your quilt and you did such a great job. Pat yourself on the back for the first one.

I enjoy the surprise of not knowing my partner and I do like the matching set of pc and nc. Whatever the majority says I of course go along.

There have been so many beautiful swaps this month. I would have a difficult time picking my favorite.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

I am really torn, I DO like the surprise element of these swaps. That being said, I want to do whatever is easiest on Karen. I also wanted to say I love giving and receiving them in sets.

I agree, this months swaps have been awesome.

Deb you sent Zennia a wonderful swap package. I love the PC with the flower fabric and the doilies. What a clever idea to make a NC out of vintage embroidered linen. You beaded pins are always so nice. And a cute scissor fob with cute scissors. That's a big basket to hold lots of things. Lots of other goodies too. Great swap

Thanks Pat. I love repurposing old linens, doilies, quilts and furbelows. I always think of the person who did the embroidery, crocheting or sewing and say a little prayer that I do a good enough job to honor their work. Makes me feel close to all of the women who worked with their hands, before me. I love knowing that the work they did will live on in another fashion.

Jan, the embroidery IS fantastic and was apropos of this month's theme. I wish I could take credit for it but it was lovingly sewn by someone, not me. lol Even if my poor old arthritic fingers could still wield a needle with some skill, it would never be that fine! I content myself with collecting and reusing the beautiful things that I find.

I am amazed every month with the new ideas and beautiful pincushions and needle cases that the members of this swap make. it's beautiful little works of art, all so special in their own way. pat yourselves on the back for all your hard work.

zennia

I sure am. Unbelieable what a beautiful package I got.
