The Polka Dot Swap!!

There are so many things happening in the world of blogs, I decided it was time to get involved and I entered a polka dot swap. The swap brief simple: something handmade with polka dots, fabric with polka dots, something extra with polka dots. It was so nice to receive something made for me, I can recommend these 'swaps'!

My package arrived and what a lovely surprise! My partner, Glenda, is quite the clever sewer and made me this lovely bag, sent with many other cute things (some of which are now in use!!). The bag is lined with polka dots and has a cute polka dot bow on the front.
A big thanks for your lovely gift.

I made Glenda an Amy Butler swing bag with fresh poppies, Midwest modern 1, lined with tiny polka dots and a swell FQ pack and polka dot ribbon. The swing bag is a great bag to make especially for beginners (fabric and pattern available in store, picture taken on background of Nani Iro double gauze pocho dots, 2008 fabric).

Thanks Glenda!!

Its A Polka Dot Swap!

I decided to join the fun over at Polka Dot Daze and sign up for their 'Polka Dot Swap'. My partner is Glenda from Tulip Rose Quilt Shoppe and so I of course first checked out her blog. What luck! She appears to know much more about sewing than me. I am in the process of making her item with polka dots but can't mention it because she looks at my blog too! Stay tuned for a picture of my creation... I'm pretty excited to see what Glenda comes up with!
