Spring Swap Goodies

I received a lovely parcel in the post today from Julie, my swap partner in Mrs Martins "Let's Celebrate" swap. The project for this month was to be Spring themed, and how lucky am I -
This photo does not do it justice - so many pretty stitched flowers in gorgeous colors. Will definitely become a wallhanging so I can enjoy it every day. I just love it Julie, thankyou.

She also added some other lovely spring themed things -
How beautiful are those buttons.

And I did manage to finish my Stitchalong project for August organised by Chooky. This month's project was a sewing bag from Anni Downs' book "Some Kind of Wonderful". I did alter it slightly to incorporate the sewing themed fabric -
Back soon. Cheryl
