A Hoppin' Little Swap!


It was my first time ever to participate in a little pillow swap with my online friends!
Kelley gave her time and brought us together so one day we could open our mailboxes and receive these little delightful hand made wool pillows!
Wool on Wool!   4 by 4 or so!
All hand stitched and stuffed and sent to Kelley!



My Bowl full of hearts in hands sent to Kelley returned as these.....


Bird on Branch~~~Kelley
Stars on Stars~~~ PatiJane
Dogwood Delight~~~Sharon
Heart in Hand~~Yours Truly
Bouncing Bunny~~~Betty
Lucky Pennies~~~Ginger ( there's a real penny stitched under the wool pennies for luck!)
(click their names to visit their blogs)
Thank-you my sweet friends!
A hoppin' and swappin' little time we had!
I hear whisperings of another towards Fall!
My wool wheels are already turning!!

    Good afternoon Cathy, what a wonderful swap, all the little wool pillows are just lovely and sent from some very talented ladies. Any signs of spring in your neck of the woods? I need to remind myself to be patient, spring will come it never skips it's turn. Greetings from Maine, Julie.

    Oh how much fun was that? I enjoy the swaps I've had with both finishes mats as well as the pattern swap with Kathy. There's a special bond between the hookers and it is wonderful.

    That bunny tail is great:) And for some reason, I really like the red bird.
    Hope your class went well - 2 more??? Makes me wish I was closer.
