What a wonderful day we had yesterday.
We got to meet Tracee from Quilt Kitty. Tracee came over from Perth to join us. How good was that! It was so lovely
to finally meet her in person.

This is my spot. Hardly any room for my sewing.
Actually, there was hardly any sewing done anyway!

Our swap this time was Red Brolly Christmas design. I drew out number 1
so that meant I was first to pick a gift. This gorgeous card holder was
made by Lyn. We played "Naughty Santa" for our swap. This meant if you liked someone else's present, you could swap it with them and they would then have what you had opened up.
It's explained here.

Sharon received this cushion (made by Anne) but she swapped it with my present.
Isn't the stitching lovely!
But then Shez (aka Naughty Santa) took that off Sharon!
Marina and Marg doing a swap. Marina kept saying "no, no, no" but in the end handed it over! We had so much fun and there was lots of laughter.
As I was number 1 to pick, this meant I got the final pick and could do one more swap. I swapped back with
Naughty Santa to my original gift.
Along with the lovely card holder, complete with some of Lyn's handmade Christmas cards, was this beautiful wreath which Lyn had also made.
Once again, everyone had outdone themselves
with the swap gifts.
This is the mini quilt I made that is going
home to Perth with Tracee.

My purchases for the day. I now have my first piece of Tilda fabric! Isn't it gorgeous! I also got some more Cottage Garden Threads for a project I am working on.
I'll show you the gifts Sharon, Shez, Barb, Mel and I exchanged in another post.
You're probably getting tired by now!
