This time two days ago I was thoroughly convinced I'd be the last AREtsian to finish her swap. But a conversation with my good friend Denise and a hot and bothered evening with my sewing machine, and I've now completed my swap present. YAY!!!!
I'm posting it here cause I'm just gosh-darn-it proud of it and I don't think my swap partner reads my blog. I'm hoping she doesn't.
In case you're wondering what this fabric wallet looking thing is, it's a notepad cover. Inside there's a 4x6 notepad and a pen. The black line thingie across is the elastic that holds it closed.
I love this so much that I'm already planning to make one for myself, and my mother, and my sister, and my mother-in-law. Christmas, anyone? I'm thinking this will also make a good addition to my Etsy shop, though I'm thinking they won't make it there until after Christmas.

Oooh, lucky lucky gal! You should be proud.
I love it, especially the quilting on the front. Interesting color combination too. Nice work!
As gorgeous as this is in the photo, it's even more excellent in person. I love the fringe-y raw-edge applique. And, gosh, that elastic idea is brilliant! :)
This is great! What a lucky girl your recipient is to receive this.
That is so fantastic!!! I'm jealous :)
Very nice!
oooh, put me on that list of "making one for..." :)
No, you are not the last... I am the last. My getter is going to figure out soon that I'm the giver!
just gorgeous! Thank you for such kind words- it made my day.
