Random Surprise

Hello to all you lovely ladies.   I randomly drew a name from the Database and made a surprise stitched item and sent that by mail today.   Who will be the lucky recipient I wonder?   Watch your mail box - the Postman should come to see you in 4 to 10 days.

Christmas in July

It is almost July and as my package has a loooooong way to travel it was taken to the Post Office today.

Antique and Brocante in Deventer

Just to let you know, when you're hanging around in the Netherlands, this really something worthwile. http://www.brocanteaandeijssel.nl/

Saturday: 10, 24 and 31 july, 14 and 28 august, 11 september. My favorite street is de Walstraat, where you also have a lovely quiltshop "100 Rozen/Roses". Have fun, maybe we see each other, looking for little bargains.

bye bye Caro

Return exchange from Vania

Vania sent me this pinkeep stitched in the colours of the Italian Flag - now isn't that a wonderful way to keep the exchange international! In her letter she told me she had dyed the fabric herself. How very clever. I am looking forward to using the hank of red thread - perhaps for some Japanese Kogin Darning???

Many many thanks Vania

Now I am working on my Christmas in July Exchange - what do you think that will be? Watch this space.
