Christmas in July

 Today was opening day for Christmas In July Swap hosted by the wonderful Cheryll.

MAILING DATE July 15th....  OPENING DATE July 25th

There was much excitement as parcels began to arrive and the wait commenced.



My partner was a bit mysterious and used her surname on the package with a mobile number so I had no idea who had sent to me until I asked Cheryll this morning.  Turns out my gifts were sent by the lovely Anne from Owl Quilting.  


And here is what the above cute packages contained.....

folded star

more folded fabric ...I love this!  Might even ask Anne for tips on how she did it!

gorgeous stitched wallhanging.

Anne - I love all my gifts - thank you once again!

*****************

As with any swap you also have to send gifts off.  My chosen partner was Illene and this is what I made for her 

quilted table topper - no I didnt applique - its a pre-printed panel

angel project pouch
hexi Christmas Tree
This was another great swap, Thanks to Swap Mumma Cheryll!
