My little chinese coin selvage mini made it all the way to remote Western Australia in just a couple of weeks! Helen wrote a very sweet blogpost about it. I'd say we both came away blessed by this little swap. The gorgeous quilt she sent me was very well received at my guild show'n tell last week - they loved Helen's swirly free-motion quilting and beautiful fabric choices.
I have several little swap projects to focus on now that retreats and other commitments are done. November was certainly a busy month for me. I am looking forward to a week of re-grouping and then...........Christmas!!
By the way, I have my new holiday cookie recipe all dialed in. Christina did this guest post last week just in time for me to try her Lemon Ricotta cookies for retreat. They were a big hit and my kids love' em, too (fyi, I didn't have lemon extract, or Meyer lemons but it made no difference to our enjoyment of these cookies! I didn't decorate with pretty silver balls either, but Lucy's little boy did. You've gotta go see his handiwork!).
Happy holiday preps to you!
