Pressies from my amazing swap partner!

I have to say that I was amazed by the contents of my Santa Sack!  As you can see, Barb does exquisite work.  Her stitches are exactly perfect and I love absolutely every bit!  After I opened my pressies, DH said Wow, Barb really went all out!  In the first picture you can see the table runner, a penny pocket stuffed with Cosmo  threads (which I have been dying to try), a charm pack of Happy Campers which is my all time favorite line of fabric, a darling pin cushion, a pattern and fat quarter for a wallet, a tote bag with mini squares and a huswif with another beautifully embroidered pin cushion-with needles, and scissors, rick rack, pins and two adorable wooden buttons!
 Here's a close up of some of the stitching on the runner.
 And here's a close of of the huswif.
 And look at this pincushion!
 Barb instructed me to open one package on Christmas eve.  She made placemats for each of us with our names on them!  My boyos were thrilled to be included Barb!
 And finally, take a look at this sweet bird!  She will keep me company at my sewing machine.
Barb, thank you so much for your incredibly beautiful and generous gifts.  I will treasure each and think of you every time I use them.

These are the latest blocks for the Saturday Sampler.  I made the one with the friendship star this morning.  I think it is really pretty.  ...
