Well today was the day...the 25th!! I got to open the parcel that arrived way back at the start of the month!!
feels cold enough for this today....

but it is Christmas in July hosted by the lovely Cheryll and I am extra excited as my swap partner is none other than Cheryll!!! Yay!!
lovely presents....

a beautiful hanger with little bells on one side.....

a beautiful table topper with amazing stitcheries...I think I remember seeing a hint of this one being quilted....

some extra goodies...chocolate and some Christmas gauze bags..so pretty....

a sensational wall hanging....love this Santa....

Thank you very much Cheryll.....such beautiful presents I love them all! Want to have them up now!!
These are the swaps I sent to Jan.....she isn't a fan of Northern Christmas so I tried to not go overboard...

Happy sewing.

  3. Cheryll certainly lived up to her ongoing reputation with so many beautiful things she has made. I oarticularly love the border fabric on the XMAS wallhanging. Not to ge outdone, I see that you have also spoilt your swapee. That floral hanging is gorgeous! Is that a panel and border panels, or perhaps one panel? Very clever .
