Beyond generous! Thanks Carla :)

The wonderful Carla over at Creatin' in the Sticks is one of my oldest (and most special) blogging friends. Living in Kansas, we have an obvious affinity.  We began by leaving occasional comments - as you do - then became loyal followers - and have even exchanged a couple of gifts in the last two years. She really is lovely and very talented. I have seen both her blog and sewing skills grow and am so proud of her.

Just over a week ago, she posted this about making a Tammy Project Bag:




Perfect for keeping scissors, thread, and needles close by.
I made one with a friend in mind, Tea for Two.
Oh how I wish we could sit down and share a cup of tea.

It is now stuffed with goodies and on it's way
for a belated birthday...


I did not know she'd made it for meeeeee! It turned up today and I LOVE IT!!



But, if that wasn't gorgeous enough, look what was hidden inside:


I cannot wait to use these 4 Wizard of Oz fat quarters - you can't get the like of them in the UK. To think, I may have gone my whole life without knowing they even existed!

Belated or not ... these are such fabby gifts. From an even fabbier lady. Thank you, dear Carla. And one day, my friend, we shall sit down over a cup of tea, of that I'm sure :)

Showing off sharing your work:
