I was very thrilled to open the packaging, and find a gorgeous bag, which Martha calls her Smile Bag - she wrote me that recipients of her Smile Bag do just that when they receive it. Well I am smiling! The bag contained a great hard plastic pink case (might use it to store threads in for my portable stitching), some scrummy M&M's with a cute torch keychain....
And this stunning Mug Rug...measuring a generous 12" x 8½"... the back is a similar colour to the pretty blue that features on the front...
(I'm sure there is an official name for the block Martha has used, but me not being a quilter, I have no idea!)Martha was also kind enough to include the instructions to make the bag, should I wish to. The bag has 6 great pockets around the outside, it's a great size...
Thank you so much Martha for such a lovely parcel of goodies! It's been wonderful to make a new blogging friend & become the proud new owner of such lovely items...
