Feeling Special!

I have just participated in THE best swap ever!

The Christmas Mug Rug Swap on Flick'r.

This one ran a little differently, in that we knew, from the very beginning, who 

our partner was.

We were only allowed to post 'sneak peaks'.

So far my partner Julie has only seen this....



But today I received this....


And these are just the extras!

Fabric, stickers tags, ribbon!  

And not just one mug rug.....


...beautifully free-pieced and quilted!

But two!!!


Look at this cute little red Christmas bike carrying a Christmas Tree!

With its pretty spot flange and swirled quilting!

Didn't Julie 'read' me well?

And here are the backs....


as pretty as the fronts!

These beauties are too lovely to spoil with tea or coffee stains!

They will be a highlight of my Christmas decorating!

I am indeed feeling very special today!  

Thank you Julie!


Check out her lovely work over here...

Happy days!

    They really are gorgeous - and how awesome is that bike? That's what I love about the bloggie crafty community, they take the time to find out what you love and then carry on it that vein. So cool!

    That certainly was a GREAT swap. Both mug rugs are gorgeous but the bike is just the winner for me. Julie has done a brilliant job. Enjoy.

    What did you do to score such lovely gifts? Both mug rugs are stunning, but that bicycle is amazing and so YOU! Lucky, lucky girl. Who was your partner? I's love to check out her flickr and blog.
