Since I posted my Christmas in July Swap parcel to Dawn in the USA, I have been eagerly awaiting my own delivery of goodies....and today it arrived!!
Jacquie of Tallgrass Prairie Studio blessed my Aussie socks off!!!
Jacquie does not hand embroider BUT boy, can she machine embroider and sew!!! I am in awe of how clever she is with a sewing machine - every gift is SOOOOO beautiful, and I LOVE the vintage fabrics she chose to use. I am so overwhelmed at her kindness....and have a look why!
This gorgeous packed bag greeted me upon opening the parcel.......and in it I discovered...
...this beautiful fabric (that I already have a plan on how to use!) and a gorgeous sparkly hanger, "believe" - one of my favourite words to live by...
....a wallhanging that I wish you could touch! It's as beautiful to hold and feel as it is to look at! I adore all these fabrics!!!
Pot holders!! Aren't they exquisite??!!!! I have never owned a hand-made pot holder...and these are so nice I'm going to hang them in my kitchen to brighten my morning each day!
Decorations for the Christmas tree....how did she know I love simple ornaments, especially in these cream and country colours? Wow.
Can you believe this cute cushion is machine embroidered?! I cannot imagine how hard that would be. Jacquie is a very impressive machine artist, let me tell you!
This is so funky I just have to make it mine alone...no sharing this!!
And the bag...this is Jacquie's first ever bag! What a star you are, Jacquie! The fabric you used in the lining is one of my all-time favourites, Wee Play. :-) It's definitely going to hang pride of place this Christmas stocked to the brim with lovely goodies.
Jacquie, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart....you have blessed me so very much.
Hugs
Jenny
