secret sewing

 a few months back i showed you a tiny hint of some secret sewing i had done  . . . . .so now it's time for the big reveal

so just to torment you . . . . the teaser as i showed you before

the story of this secret sewing goes back to January this year, when i was holidaying in Fingal Bay

and had lot's of time to surf the net i came across this lovely swap by Cheryl of willowberry designs

the swap was called 

It's a little bit French

each Month the fabulous Cheryl released a pattern with the a french touch

as part of the french swappers we were to select one project make it and send the project off to our swap partner before the end of the first week in July

the projects included, lavender bags, pincushions, a jewellery roll, a laundry bag and of course the gorgeous thimble pip and scissor case that i chose

the thimble pip and scissor case, lovingly stitched with Cheryl's lavender design

in keeping with the french theme i had Miss S sketch me up a card to send with the project

So my project was posted off in the first few days of July

and i have received an email from 

Juliette

who appears to be thrilled with her swap prize

sadly i had hoped to post here pictures of my swap pieces

but they have as yet not arrived . . . . 

i no longer watch excitedly for the post man

i m not sure whether they were lost in the post or never been sent

and i must say i feel a little sad 

have you ever had a bad experience with a swap?

 i guess on the bright side

i have now got six fabulous project patterns that i can use to create fabulous 

French inspired

gifts

hope your your hands are working on a project that you love

Ciao
