Thanks for stopping in to read about the recent blog hop that I had the privilege to participate in. I found the swap on face book and many of my guild friends were sending out the challenge to get involved!
But I must say my swapping partner got the fuzzy side of the lolly pop!! Here's what I sent to her, okay, it might be cute, but just wait till you see what she sent to me. Here's what I made....
I'm not kidding when I tell you I searched for hours on Pinterest!! Looking for the perfect swap "thing". Found this pattern from an old email that I had been saving since June 6, 2014. Stephanie, my swapping partner, lives in Maine and this is what she told me about herself:
"I love to display mini's in my sewing room and around the house. Not sure what I will do with this one. I had cancer 15 years ago and feel blessed to have had these cancer free years. I hope I remain healthy as there is a lot of fabric that I need to put to use". She also wrote, "I like just about all colors and styles. I love animals and the outdoors and finding time to quilt!"
Doesn't she just sound like a sweetie? Well, she is!
AND an amazing quilter at that!!
Would you like to see what I got in the mail?
Isn't that just the cutest thing you have ever seen??? AND I got some super great maple candy to boot!! I lucked out!! Just look how cute those little kitty eyes are, and can you believe the quilting on this??? My hubbie wanted to know if she did this on a 'regular' machine! She is GOOD!! Very, very good!!
AND!! She is a SAINT!!! She's a teacher!! (sidenote-in my book all teachers are saints, a job I could never do and am thankful to those who can and do!)
Stephanie, I too am happy that you have had 15 cancer free years and wish you many, many, many more. Hugs, to you my new friend.
