Some goodies.
Don't you love it when you get a package in the mail? It happens so seldom at our house. So it is even more exciting when I know something is on its way. I won a giveaway from Carolien in The Netherlands and she emailed last week to tell me she had sent it. So for the last couple of days I have been watching expectantly for the mail to arrive.Saturday it came!
Carolien is very skilled at cross stitch and quilting and she knows I love color and I am a quilter, so she made this mini pillow especially for me. It has quilt patterns in each of the 4 sections and is filled with lavender. I love it! Look at all those perfect little stitches.
She also gave me these wonderful stork scissors with a fob, custom made for me with blue and white beads. How did she know I had no decent scissors for snipping threads?
There was also a package of delicious Dutch coffee candies!

Dear Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteThis was too much honour, you know ... I can make some stitches, but am just a beginner in quilting! No lessons, just messing around a bit ... I'm trying to make my first application block right now. When I see your quilts, my ... will I ever learn that?
But I am really glad you like my little presents.
Take care & hugs, Carolien
Getting gifts in the post sure beats bills! I love those scissors x

ReplyDeleteThe pillow is just beautiful. The scissors are so cute!

Rhondi...What beautiful gifts! I know firsthand how long it takes me to complete a crosstitch project so you must be very dear to your friend to give it away!
