For the past few years I have enjoyed swapping Christmas gifts with Merilyn in NSW and Barbara in Malaysia. Unfortunately Barbara was still waiting for a parcel into the New Year so we didn't open gifts until all were received.
This gorgeous, festive little zipper purse was made by Barbara and is already in use.
Merilyn made a beautiful Chrismas wall hanging which will decorate our house every year from now on. It is still hanging on the wall, not ready to put it away yet.
I am sad to say that I was not able to make anything, but did put together a little gift for both girls.
Still making my Broken Dishes blocks. Quilt top now measures 17" x 25".
I found this lovely Woodlands fabric by Jo Morton at a recent visit to Patch N Quilt in Gisborne.
Might make a nice border, with a added touch of mustard.
We will see what happens.
Hoping for a year of finishing at least a few projects.

You certainly received some lovely gifts. I'm sure your friends were understanding about you not being able to make anything. Your Broken Dishes quilt is coming along nicely!
I really enjoy our Christmas exchanges too. It's a nice fuzzy feeling :) Merilyn did an amazing job on the wall hanging! Love the colours of the broken dishes quilt!
