I bought a fat quarter when we went to Geelong early in the year for the Stawell Quilters Fat Quarter Christmas swap...I liked the colour and thought there was a good mix of other colours in the pattern for someone to run with and be able to put other fabrics with it without it being too restrictive. From this...
Isn't it fabulous! A giant hexie (my favourite shape) and the lovely lady who made it for me included perfect complimentary fabrics to the one I put in the paper bag, she picked up the colours in the pattern perfectly. The small centre hexie is held in with a magnetic bag closer so the scissors can be removed for use
and then the hexie clipped back on with the scissors tucked into their holder on the side...clever...
The presents swapped were all so imaginative and well thought out but I think I scored the best of all...
Happy Stitching...

You have several people trying to answer your request about missing swap quilt. They need your snail mail address and they haven’t gotten it from you. Please check your mail there should be one from S Bennett. Or you could go directly to SQG. J Modjeski
A lovely gift....very clever too!
Wow, what a gorgeous pincushion! Love the fabric you started with and what a great idea using the magnetic clasp so the scissors stay under control!
Lovely gift and what you gave is beautiful too. Lots of hapy goings on.
