Kris hosted an accessory bag swap and I received mine from Down Under last night. It's a sewing/notions tote and I love it!
Helen included some nice goodies too which Amelia wanted to take as her own. I had to stop her. But I will probably share some of my goodies. The koala magnet and little koala notepad will be for her. The rest of it is mine.

Thank you Helen!! Helen even included a copy of the pattern for the sewing tote she made for me. One of these days I will have to attempt it myself.
I don't think I showed you what I sent Helen (or did I?). I can't remember. If I did, here's a repeat performance.
Helen has received it and she loves it so that makes me happy.
I also received an unexpected package in the mail yesterday.
Michelle did a little giveaway and as a surprise, she sent me a Moda twill tap key chain. Thank you Michelle! What a nice surprise! - Another thing I had to hide from Punk. :)
Enjoy your day!
Jen :)

ReplyDeletegreat swap! I'd say you both made out well!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the swap went well for both of you :-) Amazing bags!
ReplyDeleteLook at all your goodies. How fun. I think that bag is so cool. :) One of the neatest bags of the swap because it is quite original. I love the colors, too.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very nice swap!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great bag you got! I love the one you sent off too! :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying so hard to concentrate on a quilt, but I am getting so sidetracked with all of these beautiful bags and the Christmas Throughout the Year tutorials. Love both of your bags! Florence
ReplyDeleteWow you both got such amazing bags!!! Great job to the two of you.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you must have had seeing your swap bag. Both are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! so glad you like the bag!! I admit it was a challenge and my first attempt at the pattern but in the end it came out okay! ... and for your readers, the pattern is available for purchase from http://www.joypatch.com/
ReplyDeleteand it is called Honey Bun Fun. I think Joy will email a PDF of the pattern if you ask her. Joy is an Australian designer and has some lovely things in her "shop".
Cheers from Helen
Two great bags! You are so talented Jen.
ReplyDeleteThe tote you received is so cute. What a terrific swap. I love the accessory bag that you made.
