Hi!
Today I am going to share with you a wonderful swap package I receive from Lynda , my swap partner assigned for this Very Cherry Swap. Tina (emilyannkloset) started the swap over on instagram with hashtag #verycherryswap.
I am amira_littlemushroomcap in Instagram by the way.
On a lovely Monday holiday, I receive this bundle of package full of cherry goodness! I love all of them, especially the lip balm (I am a sucker for lip balm) and the pouch! oh and the cute socks! Truely, I love all of them, can’t really pick a favourite. Look at that cute pom pom ric rac on the pillow case. Just perfect.
I am very thankful to have such a lovely partner, Lynda and the efforts she puts in all the things she made here. It was all very lovely indeed.
So much of happy cherries!
The coasters are perfectly cherry too!
In return, this is the package I sent her. I love this swap as this swap embraces that we have each other as swap partners.
All packed in a cherry bag I had saved from my last trip cherry picking last year. Another fun thing about this swap is that I squeal everytime I see anything cherry, knowing that I could include it in the swap package. So this bag was definitely one squeal!
Here are the things in the package:
The main one was the mini quilt made from simple granny squares in Lori Holts’ fabric.
A pin cushion made with fussy cut 1/2 inch hexies and super cute cherry tag I found when I was back in Malaysia :
A sweet charm with a cherry on top! (printables available for free here). So easy to customize your gift with a certain theme with free printables!
Another customized with the same printable.
She loves lady bug, so I bought lady bug button and stuck them onto the printable too. Made a diary so cherry with the same printable.
I print and cut out cupcake wrappers with the free printable available here.
Made simple stickers from them too.
Made the mini quilt label with a bit of embroidery. Can you spot some cherries in the free motion quilting I did on this quilt?
The very cherry pouch, embelished with a cute lady bug zipper I found at the recent quilt & craft show.
The open wide pouch has a cherry tag to cover the end of the zipper. Fussy cut.
Overall, I really enjoyed making all of them and have enjoyed the surprise I got from the lovely package Lynda sent me.
Have you been in a swap lately? I am joining another very soon or maybe even start one. Are you interested?
Here are some of my previous ones that I’ve swapped:
Well, till next time, Have a gorgeous time sewing, quilting or enjoying life!

Amira, you made the most beautiful things. I am so so impressed. That pincushion….eeeep. I love how you cut the cherries out so they would show up on each hexie. {i don’t make hexies by the way}. I will probably be back 50 times today to drool over all of the pretty things you wrote about. I am so glad you both had a great time & made a new friend. xoxo
Both swaps were so well done. All of the items are so cheery looking with the great cherry theme. You both had great ideas.

Wow! This is just amazing – both you and Lynda have gone cherry crazy and it’s fabulous. I’m a sucker for a good cherry item, but there’s no way I would have thought of all of this. It’s spectacular!

Oh my goodness, what wonderful gifts both given and received! I love all the cherry goodness. YES, YES, I’d love to be part of a swap. I always miss them or never hear about them. Point me in the right direction or include me in one that you’d coordinate.
