Sue asked me if I could do a second swap this month for a new swapper, Beatrice in France. You must check out her very beautiful blog - A Needle in a Haystack. It was a joy to be her first partner in this swap. She asked for a strings block in neutral to tan tones and so I was able to include some of my favorite Bunny Hill fabrics.
Lovely Fiona of BubzRugz was my swap partner in the Once a Season Swap and I know this has safely arrived at her place, I designed this candle mat especially for my dear bloggy friend. Thanks to Cheryll from Stitchin Cubby Hole for organising this fun swap four times a year. I love being part of our special little piece of blog-would.
Beautiful work, Melody. The stitcheries in the blocks of the Kansas dug out really set it off so well. Sandy. :)
