I joined the Santa Sack Swap 2 that Carol is hosting. For September we were to make a bag for our partner and send it along with 2 gifts. Next month we send another two gifts for her to add to her sack, the same for Nov, and then in December we send a little bigger gifties. Doesn't that sound fun?! My partner is Cyndi at Bluebird's Wing and I have had so much fun getting to her this past month! Yesterday I received my Santa Sack and first two gifties! Could you hear me squeal?
Cyndi made this wonderful cardinal bag! I loooove cardinals! I love the grommet idea for the handles too! And Cyndi made this on a vintage sewing machine! :-o No walking foot, no help at all when doing all that quilting~ and it is perfect. Wow! Am I lucky or what?!
Look inside~ red!! :-))) And pockets! I think Cyndi knows me well. LOL
She also told me she made the bag that one of the gifts is in~ it is really cool! I'm sure my DD will be checking it out when she comes home next week. She loves to paper craft. ;-)
Thank you so much Cyndi! :-) {{hugs}}
I'm sure you are wondering what I sent. Well, I made this bag from my Christmas stash and a McCall's pattern. The pattern was a little tricky, and if I ever make another, I will change a few things. ;-) I am going to enjoy plotting and planning and filling it for Cyndi. :-))
That's all the news from here~
Hope you are having a happy and safe weekend!
Happy Stitchin'!
