Surprise Spring Swap

Op 2 maart liet ik mijn 'Surprise' zien die ik van mijn swappartner Fallon kreeg en dit is de Surprise Spring Swap die ik naar Fallon stuurde.
On the second of march I wrote about the surpise I received from Fallon .Now I will show you what I sent Fallon.

Je moest 2 fat quarters stof opsturen en een 'surprise' maken en het moest in een grote enveloppe passen. Natuurlijk alles leuk inpakken en een kaartje erbij. Dit zijn de stofjes en het etuite (toilettas) die ik maakte. Dit was de eerste die ik maakte en gelukkig goed gelukt. Een rits inzetten is nog steeds niet mijn favourite klusje.
Ik zou er zelf ook wel een willen hebben maar dat is er nog niet van gekomen!
For the swap you had to send 2 fat quarters fabric and something selfmade as a surprise. Then send it along with a card and niceley wrapped. It all had to fit in a large enveloppe. This is what I made. The pooch was actually the very first one I tried and it worked out well. I was very happy with it. ( although I still find it difficult to put in a zipper). Someday I hope to make one for myself.

Er in zitten nog wat lintjes enzo...
In the pouch were as extra some ribbons...


En de achterkant(ook Kaffe Fasset stof)...
This is the backside ( another Kafe Fasset fabric)...


Het was super om mee te doen met deze 'swap' en natuurlijk met een 'swap-partner' als Fallon! Dit zal zeker niet de laatste keer zijn.
It felt very good joining this swap and having Fallon as my 'swap-partner'. Hope to do this all again.

Surprise Spring Swap

Today was the day!!! When I came home I found a Big yellow envelop in my mailbox and imidiateley thougt of the swap. Rushed upstairs and then I waited, made some tea, and sat down to enjoy, because I waited for this moment and I wanted to enjoy every minute of it.

This is what came out of it: a package with little birds stamped on it and a ribbon of lace.I find it so much more excited to open a package if I know there is something in it wich is 'homemade'.


I first read this nice card with your friendly words. Thank you Fallon! I'm a little bit struggling finding words to express my feelings. I find that much easier in Dutch. The card looks the same as my sewing table, isn't that funny. You really must have been looking very good here on my weblog. And I like the green strawberry.



In the selfmade wrapping paper was a beautiful pillow cover! I really didn't expect such a real big present. It is one of the covers I saw in Fallon's store. I was actually impressed because of the subjects (houses and garden) and the colors which Fallon chose. See here these pictures..... I think I never showed my couch and diningroom chairs...Very good match I think. I find a good size pillow to put inside and it sits on my favourite chair.




I think it looks very happy and I love the flowers in the garden and the 'real' garden bench!



The fabrics are very beautiful. The one with the birds are just my colors, a lot of red and purple. The other one is funny and different from everything else. I also like that one very much.




So I hope you have had a good view of the surprise swap. I'm very happy with it. I could not have imagined that it would be such fun to join this swap.
Thanks also to Heleen and Corrie for organising this swap.
And Thank you very much Fallon to have put so much effort and care in this surprise swap. I hope you will receive mine soon.

Surprise Spring Swap

My 'Surprise Spring Swap' is being sent yesterday, and is on it's way to Fallon !!! I don't want to place any photo's of the swap because I'm afraid to spoil the surprise. I made several photo's but they are all showing so much of the surprise.. I'm very curious about the swap. We will know more in one week, I think.
