With Christmas Day now all done and dusted I can share what I made for
Annette in Australia, my partner in
Chookyblues Secret Santa Christmas Swap...... this table runner using Rosalie Quinlans Little Patchwork Village design, and some pretty Strawberry Fields fabric.
Annette has a lovely blog -
Jindis Cottage - named for her much loved kelpie, Jindi, (sometimes you would wonder though - sounds like Jindi runs the house. lol) so I added the name to the house in the middle block...............
This birdie block was fun to stitch .......................
.......... and the big house with the Christmas wreath on the door seemed appropriate for this swap.......
So Merry Christmas Annette, I hope you like it .......... this is such a fun swap to do that I'll definitely be signing up next year ................. no pressure though Chookyblue .....lol
I'll be back in a day or two with some holiday stitching ................ Nicky
