My Secret Santa sent me a pretty red hand towel embroidered with the most unusual trees, something that I have not seen before. The second picture shows up close what they look like. Thank you Secret Santa for the lovely gift. Merry Christmas (and stay warm) I have to admit that I opened my gift early and I have been enjoying this pretty towel all week.Teresa

How wonderful Love it!
by zoefzoef 25 Dec 2016
Yes indeed, special design, not sure how this is done
by meganne 25 Dec 2016
Very clever interpretation, so unique.
by queenofhearts 25 Dec 2016
I believe that this is done with a very wide satin stitch and then the bobbin threads are cut, releasing the top stitch to create the fringe. I tried it once on a flower but mine didn't look this good.
by dragonflyer 25 Dec 2016
Such a unique way to stitch trees...I have done some fringe work in the past, too...

I would like to thank my Secret Santa for the two ornaments. One is an gingerbread house that is iridescent and a candle has been under it since it arrived. The other is a ball covered in folded fabric, I know there is a name for this, but don't know what it is right now, it has a snowman charm and gold ribbon. I love them both and they will fit on my tree with the rest of my homemade ornaments. Thank You and Merry Christmas to all. Sandy

No picture, but my SS gift is a perfectly darling min-polka dotted apron with a precious kitten in fall leaves on the bib part. Such a pretty design. Somebody sure noticed I talk incessantly about my cat Sugartoes. As for the cooking part, I don't cook often, as my DH prefers his cooking to mine. So if you come to my house in ten years, my apron will still look great and only slightly faded from washing! Thanks Secret Santa from the bottom of my heart. This was an extra special Christmas gift, as we celebrated by giving to Gatlinburg fire victims.

Your gift sounds lovely. Perhaps your giftmaker might have taken a pic before it left home and could ask Sue to post it for us to see. The Tennessee fires were dreadful and had such a high count of injuries as well as the very sad death toll. That was so thoughtful of you to consider others who will be suffering a very challenging time at Christmas.
by pennifold 26 Dec 2016
Great story and maybe one day you might like to cook!!!! Lovely of you to donate to the Gatlinburg fire victims I know they would have really appreciated it. Love ❤️ Chris

This bag is lovely. South Australia are the same now, no plastic bags. I wish New South Wales would halt the use of plastic bags too. I use bags like these and some of them are lined for cold foods. Love Chris

Vic were talking about bringing in such rules, but apparently the population took on providing their own reusable bags so well that it was felt that it wasn't so necessary to make it official at the present time. I'd imagine it will happen eventually anyway.

I have been bursting to show everyone what my Secret Santa sent me...and here it is! A beautiful shopping bag with a folk art design in my colors! I love it Secret Santa and it will be so handy as stores are no longer able to use plastic bags in California...how did you know it was exactly what I needed! Also got a beautiful hand made card and a special note...and to that note, let me say...there are no imperfections in your most loving gift and I know you made it with great love and with all your heart...Thank you so very much...

Love the colours and embroidery on this. In my bit of the UK free plastic bags stopped a few years ago. (Just checked and found it was over 5) so great bags are always useful

What a cute little lady bug. Perfect for you.
by greysewist 30 Dec 2016
How gorgeous! Love the ladybug on the towel. Are you able to tell us where that one came from please? Looks a bit like it could be a pocket topper, the way it perches over your name. The luggage tag is a great idea too -you'll know exactly whose luggage you are collecting. Nice work, SS!
by dragonflyer 30 Dec 2016
Great job Secret Santa...both are so lovely and useful!

THANK YOU to my SS for my great present of this beautiful Christmassy table runner. As you can see it looks great on my Christmas tablecloth. Apologies for not posting earlier but I have had a house full of family here celebrating. This as I said above is a super present as I gave very little detail about likes etc which can make it hard to make for. Thanks again SS

I got such a lovely surprise today, the postie came and my SS gift arrived. A beautiful apron with a sewing Merry Christmas on it. I love it, thank you so much Secret Santa. It has taken nearly 20 days to get here but I can tell you all it was well worth the wait. Hubby has taken photos with my phone but I have to wait to send them to my email as I don't have any phone reception when at home. I will a photo later today. Again thank you. Gladys

I'd like to show my SS how I am using my lovely open top bag/container, heck I don't know what to call it but, for some time now I have been looking for something in which to put all my hair clips that I use most often. So I was sitting in my lounge room admiring my pretty container and the light switch finally came on........

It is perfect, easy to quickly grab a hair clip from and it looks so pretty in my bedroom.
1) Before
2) After :-)
Thanks again SS
Huge hugs xxxx
