From the Secret Santa Swap hosted by Kara, I received the best scarf. It's soft and comfy and pretty. My favorite colors.
I'm posting the card that came with it and the photo of its emergency room visit. The maker has assured me she is well but I can't help but be amazed she and my scarf went through such an ordeal together. Yikes, talk about commitment to a swap! :)
I also received this awesome mini from Rebecca at Rebecca's Rags as part of the Sewing Summit Swap. It's just so much fun and I'm in the midst of searching out a great location to hang this lovely.
Lastly, I've been doing just a little bit of sewing. I've started blocks for a quilt for my niece. I'm going to work really hard to have this done in time to mail to FL for Christmas. This is the Hearts Abloom pattern from the March 2012 issue of QuickQuilts magazine.
What are you making for Christmas gifts this year?
Cheers!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe Gina included a picture of her smashed up car! :-P SO glad you participated in the swap; can't wait until you get the pictures from my sister. :)
Wow ...that’s a gorgeous scarf with a pretty amazing history. Glad Gina was OK !

Ack, that is crazy! I love your scarf. And your teal/black quilt is so absolutely stunning! As is the quiltie from Rebecca.
