Christmas project already? Why not!

This lovely red book filled with Swedish Christmas Tapestries has arrived at our front porch along with some beautiful gifts -will share with you later, last month. You may not the only one who express such a huge surprise to see me actually got hooked up with them. I'm also one of you - still can't believe myself stitched these at all. But sure I did!


I stitched them over one thread with single strand. It went fairly fast and almost blown out from the window!!


Then these blocks are the swap pieces from my friend "m" san. Her hand pieced beauties are the true heirloom pieces!!!

I'm planning to finish them with the fabrics enclosed with - I believe they are from "Pink Chocolate" line?. Not sure how it's going to be like yet, but will try my best not to destroy her original taste...


And I'd like to show off a little more from her package.

The above are designed and hand made by her with my favorite Dresden Plate motives :) The cute pouch on your right is a very good size to keep my all the goodies for knitting. And take a close look at the coaster! Yes, your eyes must be glued on the top part of it, I can see. That is a pin cushion!! What a creative and practical idea, isn't it? The coaster come with a pincushion! I fell love in with this one when she showed off hers on her awhile back, then here is mine now ;)


My B-Day, Christmas and Valentine's Day came all at once!!!


At last, but not the least, this is my favorite part of all. Very detail oriented with a touch of the nice and heart warming scent of what she sprays to the fabrics.

Thank you so much "m" san for such a wonderful things! I still feel like I'm drawn into the deep fabric ocean...

Till next time.
