Stashy Swap :: Sent!

Now that I know Claire has received my Stashy swap I can show you the tat (I mean handmade goodies) I sent her. It has been a long running joke between Claire and I that we would send a load of rubbish to each other.

Clearly I didn't receive rubbish, as you can see what I got from Claire here.

This is what I sent to Claire ::

I had heard a little rumour that she liked the birdies in the new CK book, perfect I thought! I'll make them!

And I'll make them pretty and pink too :)

And erm..one sided - the other side is just plain fabric as I had a little "issue" with cutting them all out the same way round and then realising they needed to be mirrored pieces to fit together - oops - then I ran out of the fabrics I had chosen :(

Anyway, they can now be hung up against a wall to be looked at from only one side ;)

I also sent a little bundle of six fabric coasters I made using the tutorial in the Quilting In No Time book. Making these with the theme of 'green spotty' as I recalled Claire has a spotty tablecloth.

I also made a lavender heart from a piece of CK fabric I had, and I know the fabric matches Claire's CK crockery, so I thought that would co-ordinate nicely :) And a cute textured button on the front!

Front ::

Back :: Also CK but this time multi coloured spots!

A pretty padded hanger in a blue floral fabric with matching ribbon and lace.

Close up detail ::

I had a small plain canvas that I didn't know what to do with, and thought as the theme of the swap was to use up our stashes (could be stashes of anything) that I'd do a little Home Sweet Home painting, in blues of course, coz Claire has a blue flavoured family.

I sent a couple of my handmade fabric bunting cards for Claire to use...

And some other crap that I will leave for Claire to show you hehe!! X
