BLocK KeePeR SwaP

The second swap in 2014 was a block keeper using an embroidery pattern from a book called "Baskets in Bloom". We could use any interpretation of a pattern for a block keeper so I choose a roll up one that would take a large 16inch block. I also added a flap so Jenny could separate blocks or carry different size blocks as well. The prints on the main fabric are all sewing items & is in black/white & a touch of gold. I trimmed it with matching fabrics.
Maree asked us to enclose "something for winter"... so I choose a scarf, tasty cappuccino sachets & two oven pads... perfect for those cold winter days. I also sent along floss in 3 colours.
