Fun!

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'!

I am just so happy that you like your bag, Sandie! That makes me feel a lot better. I still am in awe of the bag you made for me...it's fabulous! And I'm going to enjoy making and finding gifts for your sack, too! :o)

XOXO,

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
