Retro Swap

A while ago, I participated in a Retro Swap
organised by Bec at Fun With Little Wise Owl
I have a large box of knitting and crochet patterns
that I picked up at a garage sale a while ago.
The lovely ladies above featured in one book.

I scanned the picture and printed it onto some calico,
then used this to make a needle case.
The floral print is from my
mother-in-laws, mother-in-laws stash,
and the pink gingham, bloggless Judy passed onto me.
My needle case went off to

From my swap partner,
 I recieved......

Linda made these delightful wall hangings for the boys
from some vintage fabric.
The are absolutely perfect!
Linda also included some of her lovely creations
for me....thanks Linda.

  1. Thanks again for the awesome swap present. I am using it and am think your gift actually gave me that nudge I needed to start hand sewing again.
    I love the wall hangings that you got as well. I bet your boys were really excited to see them.

    Thanks again,
    Mel

  2. I really wish you had made one of those pink outfits for yourself. Perfect for the school walk on these chilly Autumn mornings!
    I think blogless Judy should get herself a blog. I for one would love to see more of her wonderful smocking creations. We may have to start a blog petition.
