So this Christmas, I participated in the Sew Very Merry Christmas Swap hosted by Vicki Kate Makes, and was partnered with the lovely and talented Andrea of Stitch Parade 🙂 It was so great getting to know her and I’m really looking forward to getting together with her after the holidays for my first blogger meetup! ^_^
It was super fun shopping for a fellow sewist, and really exciting knowing I had a fabric gift under the tree! 🙂
Andrea sent me a beautiful length of dark red Italian wool which I have so many ideas for!! She also sent two of her very finely crafted creations: a travel tissue holder and change purse. Beautiful!! I used the purse today (on my annual boxing day trip to Opus for good deals on art supplies), and received a lovely compliment on it ^_^
Thank you Andrea! And thank you Vicki for hosting the swap; it was a blast!! 🙂

Haha!! Actually I WAS thinking wool pencil skirt… there’s only 2m though so not quite enough for a full suit 😉 Thanks for your idea! ^__^
