(Yes I had two swappartners.)
RosaMaria from Mexico and Sofia from Portugal.
First I opened RosaMaria's parcel and a there was a lovely lavender fragrance,
She made me this lovely quiltbasket!
And The basket was filled with more lovely gifts,
A lovely card, a little pillow with lavander, a sweet bag filled with buttons, some scrap fabrics and these beautiful fat quarterfabrics.
Dear, sweet RosaMaria you really spoiled me! Thank you so much,
I love it all!
A few days later came the parcel from Sofia.
A lovely box and card
and in the box,
a beautiful and perfect crossstitched place mat,
a great Portugese pastel recipe, two lovely expresso cups,
and two lovely fatquarters fabric.
Dear, sweet Sofia you also really spoiled me! Thank you so much,
I love it all! And Corry and me will have a cup of coffee from your beautiful cups and I hope with Portugese pastel!
I want to thank these two girls for participating this swap and making these beautiful gifts! It's great to have new blogfriends!
This is what I made for them,
A book cover a blue one for Sofia and
for RosaMaria one in Pink colors.
With a little pencil bag and of course the fabrics.
I loved making the bookcovers and little bag for them.
Hope you all swapgirls had or have a great spring swap too!
And don't forget to put your photo's on our flickr group
Have a great sunday,
groetjes

Oh Heleen je bent verwend, maar ik vind dat jij ook hele mooie dingen gemaakt hebt! Oooh die vogeltjes...toen mijn vader overleed heb ik zo'n schellekoord met vogeltjes maar naar de kringloop gedaan, foutje zie ik nu wel. Ach ja, je bewaart iets waar je niets mee doet en je doet dingen weg...Het eerste wat ik toen weg deed was de kunstkerstboom. Datzelfde jaar gaven we een verjaardagspartijtje voor mijn dochter met als thema, ja je raadt het al: Kerst! Wat zou die kunstkerstboom goed van pas zijn gekomen. Denk nu niet dat ik sindsdien alles maar bewaar, al lijkt het er wel op! Fijne zondag!
this swap was an amazing experiencie for me!! thanks Heleen!!!
i LOVE your new expresso cups!!! they are so pretty!!!
Zo hee! Kreeg jij echte koffiekopjes over de post, leuk zeg!

groetjes,

Those are all wonderful, wonderful gifts! :) I really did enjoy the swap, and it was especially fun to see what everyone made in the flickr group!
You've made and received such lovely presents and fabrics!
You must do the recipe, we portuguese love these Pasteis de Nata, I'm sure you will also love them!
(I'm getting worried about my swap partner, I sent my parcel 2 weeks ago, and I still haven't had any reply from her... no parcel and no news...)
What sweet gifts...looks like a lot of thought was put into them.
how beautiful those gifts are! I want those cups with birdies on - i have a real thing for birdies at the moment - they are lovely.
Your definitely spoiled!!! Lucky you :)
Love what you have made yourself as well! They must have been very happy with your gifts too!
What wonderful gifts you recieved. Love them all . That red and white basket is so lovely. I want one... I may have to put my thinking cap on and get the sewing machine out:) Your cross stiched birds are so pretty too, reminds me that I wanted to start cross stitching again soon.
Blessings!
