Scrub Stitchin’ - Part 5 - The Wrap Up

This is just a short final post to share the swaps I was in.

Firstly, prior to Scrub Stitchin’ when Lou and Tony came to visit, we did a little swap.  

My gift to Lou was a little hoop with a reference to hexy flowers.  I thought it was rather appropriate.  This also counts as a finish for April, which are a bit thin on the ground.

Lou gifted me two cute little zippy pouches.  Both beautifully made. The top one was used straight away to take some bits and bobs to Baradine.  Thanks so much.  They will be very handy.

For the Make It, Bake It or Fake It swap I made an EPP coat hanger.  

It went to Kylie.

I received a gift from Annette (NSW).

It was also a zippy pouch, made by House of Jackson in Armidale.  You can’t have too many zippy pouches and this one is cute.  It was filled with lots of handy little treasures and Easter eggs.

A couple of other things came home with me too.

For being joint winner of the Toddler Photo competition I received some quilt labels and a pattern.  I have this ongoing goal to add labels to all my quilts, which gets carried over from year to year.  These lovely, understated labels may just inspire me to pull my finger out complete this goal.

I also received another random prize for being an over achiever in the sewing stakes.  This was two lovely fat quarters and a “Handy Little Ruler”.  Yes, that’s its official title.

There were a couple of community groups selling their wares.  The biscuits are to raise funds for the local school children to have an excursion to the Great Barrier Reef and the wild flower seeds are from Coonamble and are to raise funds for Macquarie Home Stay.

Sandy of Shiralee Stitches had a pop up store in the corner of the room with some beautiful and handy items.  I forgot to take a photo.

I may just have purchased a fat quarters bundle of “Ruby’s Coverlet” by Devonstone from Sandy.  It is beautiful and I do have an idea of where to use it.  In the meantime, it is nice to stroke and is my new pet, named “Ruby”, seeing as we no longer have a pet.  I’m sure a pet costs more than a fat quarters bundle and she doesn’t shed. LOL

Finally, those purchases I made at Deb’s new shop in Coonabarabran.

And that wraps up Scrub Stitchin’ for 2025.
