Well look where it turned up! That's right, in a Black & White bag!!
My partner for the "Let's Exchange" Black & White Bag Swap, was Deb at Frog Cottage Designs. I didn't know Deb before this swap, so it was lovely to make another bloggy friend.
I made Deb the Serendipity Bag, a Janelle Wind design from her book Pieces of Me. I absolutely adored making this bag, and it's a design I would definitely make again.
I chose a light-coloured lining, so it's easy to see things, & for a bit of fun
Peeper centre panel, gathers & side panel |
For the 'scented tuck-in' I sent Deb some scented candles, which by co-incidence happen to be WHITE

Today my Black & White Bag has arrived from Deb... wow Deb thanks so much, I love it & it will be well loved & used, not to mention much admired...
Take a look at this stitchery, so fine & beautifully worked.
Love that little bird!
Great lining & a handy pocket...
Deb tucked in a sachet of Hot Chocolate, which I will enjoy soon, as we are forecast to get some cooler weather over the weekend.
Thank You Again Deb for being my partner in this Let's Exchange, and thanks of course
to SwapMama Cheryll forkeeping us organised organising everything.
