Halloween Ornament has Landed.

                    My ornament to my Halloween Exchange partner has arrived, so the photo is below.
The parcel included Halloween Napkins, which I forgot to photograph, along with a witches hat, thread holder, made by my very dear Husband. I'm pleased to say, Jeri loved all three items, here is what she wrote.

Hi Kay,

I was speechless when the mailman came just now.  I absolutely love your gifts.  I'm starting a new Halloween ornament so certainly be using the thread holder.  The napkins will be used as decoration only - too pretty to use.  Not only is the ornament gorgeous, but also personalized.  What a wonderful finishing touch!!  Your stitched items are all above the ordinary and serve as examples to the rest of us.  

Thank you, thank you.

Jeri

2015 Halloween Ornament Exchange, Received.

Imagine how delighted I was to receive my Halloween exchange mail yesterday afternoon. I have been sent two ornaments stitched by my exchange partner Jeri, for this year. First was a witch dressed in brilliant Halloween colours with a special brass, star decoration, on her hat.

Next was a perfect heart shape with ghost, Jack o lantern & a black cat. The decoration for this one was a brass pumpkin, with a very pretty beaded hanger..

                                        Jeri also sent me a special Halloween message on a card.

 I'm very grateful Jeri, for these beautifully stitched, treasured  ornaments, to add to my Halloween ornament collection. Thank you.

Another Arrival.

I've news tonight that the third gift arrived safely. It seems the gift was the perfect colouring & very much appreciated, by my very dear friend. Enjoy.

The accompanying wee rack.

Here is what my friend wrote,

Dear Kay,

, I was just so touched by the beautiful quilt you made me.  I remembered the colours were lemon/yellow and pinks when you showed me the quilt at Margaret and Ken's and I really loved them.  Kay, so generous of you to use your time to make that for me and the beautiful embroidery such a beautiful finish.

Just on your Sublime Pastimes and my quilt and stand looked beautiful.  Mine is also where I can see it everyday.  Am so thrilled every time I look at it.

You made the glasses case look so good.  You are so neat with the binding.

Love to you both.
