Gifts in life.....

Friends are true gifts in life! Never have I felt that more so than this month. I feel so lucky to have many friends who share my passion for needle and thread.


The postman brought me a wonderful package all the way from Canada. Humm...do elves also live in Canada? I think they must because they also live in Holland. *grins*

This elf made me a beautiful sewing pocket using pink ribbon fabrics.

And on the inside, the pink ribbon continues with these amazing pair of stork scissors in the pink ribbon theme.

I love the ric rac trim added inside and out. Does this elf have a name? Why yes...Kaaren. Thank you so much dear friend!

For some reason this photo did not get on the slideshow after I downloaded it. Dagi joined the party and even had his own chair. He knew which girlfriend to corner as Bep was sharing her wonderful home smoked salmon with him. Albertha's husband smoked it especially for our Christmas party and it tasted amazing.

Saskia and Joke made me the sweetest gift this year. This little miniature armoire is so cute but wait...
...because when you open it, you find a little stash cupboard complete with bolts of fabric, a basket of necessities, quilts and an afghan. And that afghan was knitted on little sate sticks by Joke. Thank you both for this magical gift! I am looking forward to sharing another new year of quilting fun with you both.

If you want a glimpse of the handsome man in Saskia's life *wink* then you can check out my other blog here.
