SSCS received................

Slowly I am getting around SSCS posts of your gifts..................I will get to everyone as they get posts up...............

I was spoilt by Sylvia @ Flickenstichlerei in Germany............yes she was a wonderful Santa for this years 8th annual Secret Santa Christmas Swap...........this is the first year Sylvia has been in the swap and she made a wonderful gift...............

not sure of the size but it is quite large.................I took it out to the lawn for a photo as better light............but since then I have placed it on top of my blanket box/coffee table..........it looks fantastic...........Sylvia hand quilted it and did beautiful tiny stitches in the stitcheries..........

You can see the blue angel who brought me rain here...........she also brought some more rain this week and a bit on Christmas Day so she is very cherished...........it's been a good follow up to the rain we had earlier in the month as at the start of the week it was all starting go blue and die.........now it is growing madly..............

And Sylvia made me a little needle book with similar stitching and colours as the runner which I shared here.....................

Sylvia wrote me a big letter......it was just beautiful and I had tears (good tears) in my eyes while reading it.............

Thankyou Sylvia for making Christmas so special.........

%%%

I hope you felt as special as I did with my gift from overseas especially made for you.......

I am so pleased I ran the swap again this year........you need to thank Janice as I was at her place and talking with her when I decided that I would go ahead with the swap........we decided we would both miss it too much making and receiving a gift for/from someone on the other side of the world........

Catch you later
