I know it is not July 1st until tomorrow but I am so excited I could not wait to show you.  It is time for our Santa Sack Exchange.  Joyce from http://youngbydesign.blogspot.com/ is my swap partner.  I am so fortunate that Joyce and I work in the same city and we get to go to lunch from time to time.  Joyce is a total sweet heart and I am enjoying getting to now her.  You should visit her blog.  This is what Joyce gave me and I just love my bag.  Joyce went to alot of work can you see the beautiful quilting.  Thank you so much Joyce I love love it.


We are suppose to send each other 2 gifts a month.  Now for the hard part we can not open them until Christmas.  I feel like a little kid again and I can not wait until Christmas.


This is the bag I gave Joyce.  I feel bad I did not even quilt it because I was so worried about the draw string and how I was going to do it so you can just pull both ends and it pulls together.  Thank goodness for the internet I learned something new.

This is what I put in her sack.


Thank you so much Cheryll http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.com/
for organizing this swap.

Well until tomorrow.

    Both bags are wonderful hon, and how lovely that you can actually meet your partner for lunch! I don't know how you're going to keep from opening those - it would half kill me!

    Both these sacks look great. How good you can meet for lunch. Do you exchange presents and ask a sneaky question or two over lunch!!!!!! That would be such fun.
