To finish off my SANTA swap in my on line stitching group Friends in Stitching (FIS) I received this very colourful table runner from Chookyblue
Thank you so much Chooky!!!
I have decided to pull out of FIS as I have a bit too much on my plate at the moment with my singing lessons....JoJo and other things in general
I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this group so you never know I may be in it another day!!!
My partner to make for was Sandi
My gifts to her were this basket
together with a pin cushion, scissor fob and needlebook
Sandi is a huge Anni Downes fan as I am so I used Anni's Christmastime fabric and pattern for this basket
S for Santa I sent a little stitched Santa bag with a little pattern by Anni
A for Antlers was this handsome sparkly silver reindeer
Nativity a printed panel
T for Treat was a box of chocolate chip biscuits
A for Angel a little hanging stitchery.

The other swap I was in was Maree's 6 item swap
For this I gave a little pouch
inside was a stitched cushion top
and a pattern for a table runner
Starting from top left is something for the tree
something to read
something for the sewing room
something smelly
something to eat
My partner to send to was Stephanie
Thank you Maree for organizing this swap!!!
