Swaps, Swaps and more swaps















Since I got home so late on Christmas Eve and left on Christmas day to spend a few days in Memphis, I did not get a chance to post and thank the people who had my name for some swaps that I was in. So here goes:

WILDCRAFT FARMS CHRISTMAS SWAP
The snowman quilt and door hanger were from Cindy R for this swap. I love snowmen and she did a wonderful job on this. She also included a pattern for an angel (another favorite). Thanks Cindy. (4th photo)

Becca's Blog from the Left Coast Christmas Swap
The scarf was from Brenda S from Becca's Blog from the Left Coast Christmas Swap. It is wonderful and has all my favorite colors in it. It is handmade also. Thanks Brenda S.

THE QUILTPOCKET WINTER SOLSTICE SWAP
Thanks Sharen for the wonderful swap. We had 8 items when had to include in the swap package and what we incuded was up to our interpretation. This is from an online quilting group I belong to. (3rd photo)
TARA AT THE WELL ROUNDED WOMAN STOCK SWAP
Thanks Lady Jane for the stocking swap. She included all kind of goodies including earrings which I wore on Christmas Eve. (1st photo)

Off to my other life...

It is about break time from school and I am off to my other life 900 miles away for Christmas and family time. Have packages and cards waiting for me to open on Christmas Day. Hope to make a hop to Memphis to see Graceland for a couple of days. Merry Christmas - Peace out!

Quilting...




Today I spend the day with my friend who owns a quilt shop and here is what I got done. This heart quilt is for Karen in Australia and the little bag is for Denise in Maine. The bag pattern is from www.lazygirldesigns.com. I just have to make a tablerunner and 2 more purses and I will be caught up and done for Christmas.

Chookyblue's Christmas Swap............


Since I will be celebrating Christmas in the great corrupt state of Illinois, I decided to open my Christmas pressie from Australia. It was a wonderful package done by Lurline. She made a wonderful tablerunner and the little fabric basket. Got a snowman dressed in purple and everything else. Thanks, Lurline.
