Christmas in July Swap Received

I received my lovely Christmas in July parcel today from Sarah at Anyone Can Quilt. I am just so happy with these lovely items. They were beautifully wrapped in these gorgeous red ribbons that shimmered in the light...
Just look at this gorgeous stocking beautifully pieced and quilted. I expect my family to put lovely things in it at Christmas time!!! And I may just be a little bit inspired to make them a little stocking of their own... if they're good...
Look at these delicious strawberries dangling off the ends of the bow. You can also see the wonderful detailing with the ric rac. Just so yummy...
This lovely old-fashioned gift tag and charming tree ornament/pincushion. I think I'll use it as a pincushion until the tree goes up and then I'll put it on the tree. It has more of that lovely red ric rac.
This large stoneware mug filled with these olde-worlde Christmas fabrics that are already dancing in my head with possibilities... it's hard to see but the mug has some wonderful detailing...
And an apron! This is a descreet Christmas combo so I can use it year round without too much teasing! Not that I would let that stop me...
And this apron is self adjusting!! It has one long strap that threads through these side pockets so even someone with my short waist can wear it! Too clever!

Thank you so much lovely Sarah for these beautiful gifts!!


And a big thank you to Stephanie and Linda for organising such a great swap!!

I hope everyone had a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone received!

Big hugs - Shari

Christmas in July Swap Sent

I sent my Christmas in July parcel to Sheri in Idaho.
I made a large scrappy table runner out of gold and white...

And a scrappy bag...
Sheri is thrilled with her gifts and has done a lovely post on them. Pop over for a visit.

May Christmas be in your hearts all year!

Hugs - Shari
