Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas...

.... in July.

I was lucky enough to have Tracee from Quiltkittyloveslife as my "Santa" in Cheryll's Xmas in July swap.  I was so blown away by the wonderful, wonderful Christmas gifts I received:

Here are the parcels, all waiting to be unwrapped.

Yummy chocolates from Darrell Lea (definitely for sharing, I think)


What can be inside this starry bag?


A starry swag of course!


Oooh, chocolate bon bons within a stitched bon bon.  I stitched one of these bon bons for the Santa Sack swap last year so I am very happy to receive this gorgeous one from Tracee.



Lastly, but definitely not least, a table runner but not just any old table runner - one which has my two kitty cats - Milo and Furio - stitched on it.  Thank you so much, Tracee, such a thoughtful gift.  I and the furbabies love it!



Tracee was bemoaning her QAYG technique but it looks perfect to me.

Sweet Robin fabric.


I feel so lucky and blessed.

Thank you so much, Tracee.

hugs,
