We exchanged gifts and I forgot to take a photo of my gift! oops - my bad!!!
I gave everyone a leaf-shaped mug rug - I took the easy way out and bought them from a friend - and a small bottle of Heaven Scent.
This is similar to the ones I gifted.
Inca gave us a bowl with chocolates and a small jigsaw puzzle.
Maureen gave us each a notebook with our initial on it
Sue gave me a piece of sashiko fabric - marked ready to sew a daisy-like pattern, some beautiful pins from Japan and a charm (to use as a zipper pull) I have been eyeing off the daisy pattern that Lynda has been stitching, so - in the New Year I will get the threads and do it.
We also had a challenge . . . .(well, why not???)
Last Year Maureen gave each of us a small fabric rectangle showing a sleigh filled with presents - and we were to make something with it.

I decided on a wall hanging and to make it a real SIMS project - I asked Inca and Sue to donate some pieces of Christmas fabric. I made the tree and the "window" up the top from those offerings.
I have been meaning to make a tree from squares for ages so this kind of satisfies that urge.

It's a shame the colour is a bit dull
and this is the section of the fabric that I used.

Lovely gifts. I have some sashiko fabric and must get around to using it! I like your wall hanging - the tree is very effective and great use of lots of fabrics. xx
