Look at what I received in the mail today!!! I feel bad as I will only just be doing the finishing on mine this weekend to send out to my recipient! I thought of not opening the package until I completed mine, but that lasted about thirty seconds until I had to open the mailer!! Isn't this absolutely gorgeous?? Laura V. made this for me, and her finishing/sewing skills are impeccable! The black fabric is velvet, and the inside is lined with black silk. I have been so busy stitching my bag, that I haven't thought too much about the one I will get in return!! What a really lovely surprise.
And inside the bag are lots of treats! She sent along some pins that I will be able to use on my pinkeeps (!!!), and five charts: Sweetheart Tree-Jack and the Silver Spider, LK-If the Broom Fits, LK-Plumpkin, Hillside Samplings-The Witch is In, and LK-Halloween Highway. I love Halloween designs and I didn't have any of these! She also included three WDW for my Halloween stitching pleasure: Jack-o'Lantern, Trick or Treat, and Autumn Leaves. I will have to find something fun to stitch with these! Now I have to get very busy finishing mine as well!!! Not to worry, Rachel, yours will be on its way soon!
