I got involved in a mug rug swap and this is what I sent to my partner. The mug rugs, 2 fabric boxes, a quilt block holder along with an embroidered block (to show her how it works) and a hand made card. Now to get down to my sewing room and finish my newly created UFO's so i can move on to something new! Pics should start getting posted a bit more often now!

Thank you! The card …. it is called Card Embroidery I believe. You prick yr pattern out on yr card stock and then stitch it with threads such as metallic, sulky whatever. Then it is just a matter of choosing the other card stock that will enhance yr embroidery and cut it out and using 2-way tape, sticking it all together.

A block holder is just that…it holds yr finished blocks. There are two fabric flaps in the center…..to lay over top of the blocks to keep them in place (pic #2 has the bottom flap over the block…the top also folds down. It is just a handy little thing to keep all your blocks in one place. (Especially good if you get side-tracked and start on another project before this one is completed!) I have made both the small and the large one. In this pic, it is the small one. It is just something to hold your finished blocks all in one place until you can incorporate them into a quilt. Also great for transporting them to classes.

I was actually quite stressed about it! Only because I hadn't personally met my partner in person so i wanted it to be extra nice! I was disappointed myself but I am glad that she was happy with it!
