Isn't it gorgeous! It was made by owenjulesmommy (Christine) just for me. But that's not all I received. Check this out.
Christine also made a gorgeous folded fabric needle book and a tatted ornament. I love tatting! She included the pattern for the pincushion so I can share the love. There are loads of other treats as well.
Thanks a bunch, Christine! You really have spoiled me!
As if that wasn't enough, more swap blocks and goodies have arrived. You'd think it was Christmas around here!

Fantastic fabrics in the swap blocks - check out that safari print
A beautiful embroidered block with my State's flower - a waratah

Thank you so much, Liri!
