And when I came home from my vacation a note was in my mailbox saying I had got a parcel that was too big to fit in my mailbox. So I had to wait until the day after to get it.
And loook..............
Alice had made me this wonderful box. I have heard about scrap booking but this must be scrap boxing. Look....it even says "May Brit's quilting tin" on it. She have decorated it with buttons, ribbons, charms, tags and even more ribbons. This is the front of the box.....
and this is the back of it.
And look at this beautiful pincushion she made. It's pattern designed by Heather Bailey (published in "Quilts & More" summer edition). I had plans making this, but now she did it for me :) And look at the pins. She even made those for me too.
And she had put some more goodies in the box too. Embroidery thread just the colours I love and an old needle book. Thank you Alice for being my swap partner in this pincushion exchange. I love the box and the pincushion. I think I will join another exhange later, because this was fun.
Alice has stated blogging too. So please visit her blog The Quilted Giraffe and welcome her to blogland.
Saying for today:
Women and cats do as they like.
Men and dogs get used to it

Yay for Alice. I am glad you all got paired up together. She does wonderful work also. I have several of her cushies from our previous exchanges. And I love the way she did those pins. They show up well in your pictures.
Wow, that's the greatest! She really did a lovely job of making a fabulous gift for you. I can hardly wait to see yours in return. I swapped needlebooks only in that swap and was very happy with my partner, too.
That is a stupendous gift. Well deserved by you though.
Wonderful gift box and I love the pincushion.
