LITTLE RED HEN

Tuesday, December 28, 2010

For Linda in California

I made these gifts for Linda in California, my partner in Chookyblue's SSCS swap. The cushion cover stitchery is one of Jenny of Elefantz' lovely designs, it was so nice to stitch. I chose the colours to complement the colours in her sunporch and also one of the roses in her garden. On the left is one of the ornaments I made for her Christmas tree and on the right is a coaster featuring some Australian floral fabric.

Linda blogged in such a nice way about her gifts; I'm pleased that she's pleased!

Thanks so much, Chookyblue, for organising such a great swap; I really enjoyed taking part.Posted by Picasa

I love reading, stitching,music, my garden, my dogs and my family.I chose Little Red Hen as my blog name because I'm short, used to have bright red hair and as a wee Scottish girl growing up in New Zealand was frequently called Hen, a Scottish term of endearment.
