I met Michelle from Australia, and we emailed back and forth just a little bit. Then we sent each other a handmade gift! She doesn't have a blog, so I'm going to show both what I gave and what I received to link up the pictures.
I made a reversible quilted table runner for Michelle. One side is Christmas:
The other side is fall-themed!
I totally stole this idea and pattern from my incredibly talented sister in law, Sarah. And I hope Michelle likes it!
To wrap the gift, I used a piece of printed blue and white fabric, and added a ribbon and an aqua colored flower clip. (Doubling as wrapping or for your hair, etc)
And take a look at what I received! LOVE this!
Michelle sent a beautiful full tutu, a flower headband, and a hand painted ornament that says "Australia".
Here is Kathryn modeling the cuteness!
Linking up to share the gifts!

I love the double sided table runner. Such a clever idea, I might have to steal it too.
ReplyDeleteThe tutu and headband is adorable. I think I will have to make some for my kids.
Thanks for sharing at Holly Bloggy.
First of all, what a beautiful daughter you have. Second, the double-sided tablerunner is fabulous. I love it! Third, what a neat idea the gift exchange is, and making a new friend in Australia is wonderful. The tutu and headband are sweet. Thanks for sharing.

You did a great job on the table runner. I like that it is reversible. My sister gave me table runners several years ago, I still love them. Thanks for sharing.
