I was so excited yesterday when I got my mail, a soft package from australia!
I sent mine to australia too, but not to this person 🙂
this is what was inside, isn’t it wrapped cute?
then I opened it up and this is what I got! I LOVE LOVE it.
it’s so cute!!
there was another little gift in the package, a little chain thing for the swan scissors ( which I DO have)
and a little bear at the end, I love teddy bears…. I know the picture is blurry, but you get the idea.
it was hard to find a spot for it, as my studio has slanted walls so I only have two straight walls and both have either a door or a window in them or speakers etc.
so I put it by the door.
just a mismatch of stuff hanging there but I like it!
the name quilt is at the top.
below it to the left is an embroidered danish christmas cross stitch from the year I was born, it’s old and I don’t know who made it, I like it so I haven’t taken it down after christmas. next to it are two small cross stitch pictures I made several years ago, bought the EXPENSIVE kits in denmark, they are based on a famous danish painter from Skagen- the northern tip of DK, my mom used to live close to there and two years ago I took my kids home and we walked on those beaches too.
Next to that is a small flower appliqued wall hanging, my first needle turn appliqued piece from a class.
I then have pictures, notes, GO! die charts pinned to that too and my Go! cutter below it on top of the stereo stand.
Thanks again MELODY
she has a blog here
Now I can finally reveal my mini quilt to Tracee too
Quilt kitty loves life
she has two cats!
I thought she had 3, her note mentioned each one by name and their quilt titles, like CEO, fabric chooser etc… then I saw Tracee as a name and I looked and looked on her blog for a picture of this cat named Tracee and realized it was HER!! LOL good thing I didn’t stick another cat applique on there and turned her into a cat by mistake!

Both of those are so cute.
What a fab package to receive. The mini quilt you received looks great on your wall and the little cats you made are really sweet too!
What adorable quilts!
Very cute! I love the cats on the one you made!
Sew cute!! I love both of them. What a fun swap!
My furboys are sure I am a cat too Bea, just one with thumbs who can open cat food, thank goodness, so you couldn't have gone to far wrong. Melody always makes beautiful gifts. I love her mini quilt, it's so pretty. Tracee xx
