Gifts, Private exchanges and Remember Me!

Welcome Friends, Family and Fellow Bloggers!

I'm very blessed to have some wonderful stitching friends and they all sent me some lovely parcels this year. 

My sweet friend Michelle made me this lovely wall hanging finish.........

In return I sent her a Santa, one of my personal favorites..................

I also arranged my yearly private exchange with my dear friend Lisa.  We decided to make "Christmas" our theme this year and this is what she sent to me.......

Debbie Draper Designs "Stitching Friends Forever"

I love that our shared passion for stitching has brought these wonderful ladies into my life!  I hope one day to meet them and spend time together stitching :)

Then I finished this pillow for my Mum as part of my gift to her.  I kinda, sorta fell in love with him (oops) and didn't want to give him up!  LOL.  Now I have to stitch another one for me :)
