I’m so glad you like everything @AudiobookLover ! I received the most fabulous package from you today!
Everything arrived in a festive bubble mailer (which I’ll definitely be reusing)
Tasty spring jellybeans and a combo lasered/hand embroidered bookmark! You said the bookmark was finicky to make but I’m glad you persevered because it’s so neat!
After hearing that I liked butterflies, they took over and became the theme for the swap!
The main items:
A fantastic embroidered pennant of her own design! *(edited to correct- purchased pattern) The stitch-work is immaculate- and on the reverse is a great label and iridescent vinyl lettering that commemorates the maker and date of the swap. Audiobooklover not only designed the pattern but was able to cleverly use her laser cutter to transfer the design to the fabric!
The other main item(s):
Three amazing machine embroidered butterflies! Not only do they decorate the card- they’re also magnets!
I love everything - thanks for being such an awesome swap partner!!
I’m so glad you like it all! I actually didn’t design the butterfly, I bought the pattern from etsy. This was my first embroidery project, so prior to this swap, I didn’t even know any of the stitches that the butterfly is composed of (so thank you for the compliment on my stitchwork ).
I got a wonderful package from @Manders !!! First, a super adorable spotted cow manatee!!! Love him/her!!! Then, a cute little spring painting! Lastly, some shades of pink pens. I love it all!!
The flowers are quilled paper and the birds fabric. They’re soooooo cute!
But the box I recieved also contained a set of lovely notecards (love them!), a full pan of Schminke Brilliant Red Violet watercolor (I’m light on purples so super excited to use this one), and lots of yummy chocolate! I’d have eaten the chocolate already, but Texas melted it so it’s currently chilling. Mmmmmmmmmm chilled chocolate. I predict the yummiest of late night snacks tonight.

The manatee was really fun to make! I made her belly pink because you listed that as a favorite color.
