Swap sewing and more

Petit amour bag, needlecase and pincushion - Lisa Pyke of Cubby House Crafts, Homespun magazine No. 100
A couple of posts ago I showed you the beautiful gifts Leanne had sent me.  Well, she has received my gifts now so I can show you what I made her.  I love this set designed by Lisa, it is the third time I have made the pincushion!
This weeks sewing has included my Penny Rug BOM with Melody, a secret Christmas item for the Christmas Angel swap, and some cutting for my Vignette quilt. My penny rug is by no means perfect, Charlie thinks the beehive looks like a corncob and one of my sheep (not the one I'm showing up close) got ironed on too high a setting, oh dear!  It is starting to feel like autumn here, the sun is shining but there is a little nip in the air, I love it!  Something about the approach of autumn always makes me feel happy, I cannot even explain the feeling, I just love it.  Wendy

    I agree, can we have some of that nip here to. Way to hot this weekend and I am looking forward to a nice change. Your penny rug is looking lovely as are your swap items. Any chance of a sneak peak of your xmas Angel item? :o)

    I think your project is just beautiful. I've thought about joining in, but I have so much on my plate now, I should probably wait. I'm glad I can enjoy yours! Your gifts were beautiful, what a lucky swap partner you have, I'm sure she adored them! Happy Sunday to you, and my favorite season is fall, not so hot and the cool evenings are wonderful, enjoy!

    Lovely projects, Wendy; that is such a sweet sewing set. I like how your Penny Rug is looking - I was sorely tempted to do this.... We're just starting to get a sense of the seasons changes too, nice that its not so hot at nights.
