Yippie yippie yippie! The most wonderful Happy Mail came in my mail today. Mini sampler number five, in A Swap For All Seasons, arrived from my partner, May.
Oh my gosh, so very exciting to receive mail marked as ROYAL MAIL.
May sent me the very sweetest of samplers, so precious. I adore pink roses and anything heart shaped. So lovely and perfect for me, May. May also included a bag of buttons, beads and ribbon and lace trims - she must have ESP to know I am besotted with buttons and trims. And that's not all --- the most fun fabric, with graphics of London on it --- now I'm sure May has ESP, major Anglophile over here.
It was so lovely to meet you and be your fifth partner in this wonderful year long swap, May. Thank you for everything!

ReplyDeleteHi Sherry! Isn't it darling?! I love it so! So very precious. I'm right there with you, this swap is so inspiring and fulfilling. I realize now that I've always been a bit unhappy and uncomfortable with swaps - they've been too much about receiving "stuff" and not enough about creating for me. I think this is so wonderful that the emphasis is about creating and making something for your partner. Can't get enough of that! Happy weekend!
DeleteHi Sally, I am so glad you liked my swap....I adore hearts, it was so much fun putting this together for you...Hugs May x x x
ReplyDeleteHi May! Thank you so much, I adore my sampler and my goodies so very much. It's a pleasure to meet you and be your partner in this wonderful swap.
DeleteHappy Monday! xo
Such a lovely piece of patch work Sally!
ReplyDeleteWhat will you do with them???
You could make a hanging panel with all the monthly swaps stitched on and hung for everyone to see!!
Fun!!
Hi Suzan! Isn't it charming?! Yes, the swap hostess idea was for us to make a garland with them (if we chose). I'm not certain if I will sew them all together permanently or not (finishing is not a talent of mine and I'm afraid I'll ruin them somehow with any attempt by me to do so) but I will most definitely hang them together temporarily to share for everyone to see here :)
DeleteHappy Memorial Day! I'm making strawberry cobbler as I type this :)
