Scrub Stitchin'. Part four, The gifts.

 Oh my goodness, I can hardly believe how spoiled I was was. We all received gifts and as an international visitor it seems I was one of the extra spoiled attendees.

The first gifts I received were from Janice. She knows I collect tea towels while travelling and this handsome chap was waiting for me.

Janice had been busy sewing away secretly, she knows my own kitty cat Belle likes to sit in boxes and peep out at us.

So this little quilt was perfect.

There were also one or two other items along the way.

Books, especially Anni Downs books are always welcome.

Thank you so very much Janice, you spoiled me.

What did I gift to Janice?

I made two cute wee blue biscornu.

Oh dear, that really does not seem like much...

When compared to my friends generosity.

There were more gifts to come. 

His n hers place mats from Jo.

Thank you Jo.

Gifts from Chooky.

Look at these teeny Tiny scissors.

Thank you Chooky.

I was incredibly lucky to score a beautiful Bionic bag made by the amazing Sylvia.

Sylvia had made eight tiny churndash blocks to create the bag. 

I was amazed at how much I could get in there.

Four zippered pockets and elastic loops in the spaces between to hold things in place.

Sylvia, thank you so very much, what an amazing gift.

There is always a Baradine gift bag. This year it was a beautiful spotty bag, filled with all sorts of goodies. Firstly there was chocolate. No pic, sorry, I ate it!

Chooky made sure we were spoiled, there was a scrub stitchin' bag, on the back was printed all of our names and out home towns. 

Of course there was a project, a cute scrub stitchin' bag to make, a mug with a native flower. Mine is the desert pea. Jo had made cute pin cushions.

And Sylvia had made fridge magnets.

Thank you to everyone who had a hand to putting the gift bags together. 

Friday night was dress up and swap night. Everyone dressed for dinner.

I wore my newly made Aussie scrubs as the theme was Australia.

Australian theme scrubs seemed appropriate for Scrub Stitchin'.

We were also to exchange gifts. It was a blind/random swap.

I scored a cute and very handy little ruler from Jules.

There was also a smelly wardrobe hanger tucked in to the package. 

Thank you Jules.

What did I give?

Chris from Canada was the recipient of my wee package. I had made a 15 sided biscornu.

As soon as I saw a model of Just Nans Floral 15 I knew I wanted to stitch it.

It was fun to make and I really want to make another.

Chris I hope you like your gift.

There were other gifts along the way too.

Pat was handing out these beautiful beaded scissor fobs. I chose this one as it seemed to match my titanium scissors. 

A spot prize on the last day was a cutter blade and 6.5 inch ruler.

I think it was Jenny who gifted this bright Aussie ruler to me.

Blogger insists that this embroidered towel be upside down!

Thank you to Jeanette in the kitchen!

Sadly I cannot recall who these last two gifts were from.

Thank you who ever you are.

As I said, we were truly spoiled.

Thank you to everyone who made and purchased all of the lovely thoughtful gifts, it made the whole experience incredibly special and memorable.

And thank you to Chooky for arranging everything, none of this would have been possible without you.

It was wonderful to meet so many people and to be a part of such a generous community.

Thank you to Janice and Mick, our hosts and chauffeurs for the duration of our trip.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I shall treasure some amazing memories of a wonderful time and hope to be back for Scrub Stitchin' 2025.
