I’ve recently participated in the “Time for Tea” swap hosted by Stephanie of Loft Creations. The picture above shows some of the goodies I sent Peg (you can see her post about them here). I’m not a tea drinker…but since I was very young I’ve always loved tea things…tea sets, tea pots, tea towels, and especially tea cups….so I really looked forward to this swap! Stephanie was a wonderful hostess and provided lots of inspiration for the swappers; we all came to love her “Tea Time Tuesday” posts where she shared lovely tea linens, stitcheries, teacups and teapots. Yesterday I received my package from my wonderful partner Peg of Happy in Quilting (we didn’t know we had each other until we’d both mailed our packages). It was fun to find out that Peg was my partner because I was already reading her blog regularly; Peg is a wonderful quilter who also does lovely stitchery!
Inside the package, everything was wrapped in lovely fat quarters…gifts in and of themselves. Peg sent a beautiful teacup picture frame, a Chookyblue card (the photography is stunning), some instant drink mixes, and the famous Tim Tam candy I’ve been seeing on blogs (yes, as of this morning it’s officially gone…we thought it was gone last night, but younger son hid a piece for part of his breakfast)!
Peg also sent a lovely table runner…this table runner is the definition of loveliness. I had to catch my breath when I opened it. Four of the blocks have beautifully stitched tea cups. The fabrics are gorgeous, and Peg’s workmanship is perfection. I even took a picture of the back…I love the backing fabric!
Also, the table runner has prairie points! I love prairie points! I had never made prairie points until I made my gifts for Peg…but I loved making them and want to put some on a quilt again soon (maybe I’ll make this one from Jodi’s tutorial). Peg, each and every gift was perfect; thank you so very much!
Hope you all get to sew today!

How sweet is that table runner. I follow Peg’s blog and she is very talented. She sent you some very nice things. That is cute that your son saved some chocolate for breakfast.

Such a gorgeous parcel of loveliness. Those Tim Tam biscuits/cookies are very addictive aren’t they? Adore the runner, and yes Peg is a real gem.

What a sweet pink table runner with embroidery. I looked at Jodi’s newest quilt too and thinking of making one, very cute.

I love it when people wrap their gifts in fabric. It is really the best way!
Everything in your swap is great. The things you sent her are wonderful too.

Waht a great table runner. And I agree, I love those prairie points. Very fancy!
Nedra says
Great teapot stuff, and the table runner is darling.
You asked where I got my baby quilt quilted. I actually used somebody up North. But normally I go to Quilted Works and use their 20% off coupon. If I want something custom done, I use a lady in St. G named Linda Brown. Let me know if you need her # and I’ll be happy to send it on.

So many cute and adorable things! Lucky you!
