First, what I took to give…
 |
| What's in the bag? I made a drawstring bag to present my contribution using my purchased Jeni Baker's Lined Drawstring Bag pattern. The size was customized according to Jeni's instructions. Checkout Jeni's great online tutorial here! |
 |
| It seemed appropriate to select truly seasonal fabrics from my stash. Iowa, like much of the country, has already had snow(s)! We've definitely brought out mittens, scarves and hats. |
 |
| I have had this bodkin for many years. I love it! It is so useful for pulling drawstrings, elastic, ribbons or whatever through a casing. Plus it is a fun word to pronounce. A bodkin makes a great stocking stuffer for the sewists in you family! If you go looking for one, you have two choices. One is a needle with a large eye. Mine is the other sort built on a tweezer concept. It has teeth on one end that you clamp onto the ribbon (by sliding the ring down till tight). |
 |
| Here is the adorable "what" that was in the bag! I wish I could say that I made this cute (store bought) snowman! Don't you love his shaggy texture? Again with the mittens, scarves and hats! |
 |
Look at this wonderful little pillow! Doris Brunette of Row House Creations made this using reverse appliqué and a hand stitched accent line! I love looking through the snowflake at a moment captured in time! 
Looks like it is going to be a long, cold winter. This little pillow will brighten my home! Thinking about the kind and generous members in our guild warms my heart!
Till Tuesday…
