CHRISTMAS IN JULY GIFT OPENING

It was opening day and I was so happy to rip this parcel open.

I had an idea who it was from. I thought I knew the address. 

I had posted something there already.
Here is what we swapped.

Thanks Jan

Yes, sorry I snooped BUT I didn't say anything.

Here is my parcel I received.

And here are the gifts.
TREE.... table runner for my celebrations
This will go on my coffee table just nicely

SANTA..... and his bag of goodies.
The chocolates are eaten, the tissues are in my bag and the bag I have always wanted to make one. Love using those pins too.

And a cute SANTA decoration

STAR.... cushion cover.
I have already put a cushion in it and it's on my couch....

I am so lucky to have something happy to open....

A busy week

Let's get in the Christmas spirit early.
I have decided to join in with Cheryll and a whole lot of others for the CHRISTMAS IN JULY swap.
Go over to HERE and see what it's all about.






MEANWHILE.
I have been staying at a friends house in NSW and catching up on some sewing. I have been very busy with lots more still to do.

Here is the view I have while I'm sewing, eating & watching tv. Isn't it stunning..
Merrimbula, NSW....

As you can see from the above photo the colour of this block is far more beige than the photo on the left.
Anyway, this is the block I have done for my swap partner, Carolyn, over at QBSA...

Then I have been working on more puzzle quilts for the boys.

I have another 4 to do...

My friends dog just had to get in
there.






So today I have continued to sew and join in the fun with everyone for
 FRIDAY NIGHT WITH FRIENDS
