Woohoo!!! I get to be first!
Rec'd 2 adorable patches from Endymion for my beach theme.  I love them!!!
Thank you for sending these.  They are going to look great on my beach themed bag!

The beach thing is beautiful and I love the shell! Great start off.

I received a great package from Craftsunderground -- she totally spoiled me!

She sent me not two but THREE patches!



First, a very cheery, retro kitchen patch. I love it! Somehow, she managed to perfectly match her tiny stitches to the background of the fabric. The red checkered fabric on the back is vintage, she said -- and it actually matches the curtains in my grandmother's kitchen!



Next, a retro sewing patch featuring the classic tomato pin cushion! I'm amazed at the way she embroidered this one -- the way she did the spools of thread and all those tiny little stitches in the background. The fabric on the back is also vintage, and the colors coordinate perfectly with the print on the front side.



Last, a sweet patch with a small crocheted doily stitched on top. I completely fell in love with it. It also has vintage fabric on the back side. I hope you can see the tiny little X she has stitched in the corners of all the patches.



And here is a shot of the back sides so you can see the vintage fabrics she used.



She also threw in a little bonus -- a monogramed mirror compact. I immediately put it into my purse and forgot to photograph it. I think she is psychic because I just told my husband a few days ago that I needed a mirror I could put in my purse.

This swap has been sp much fun! Thank you, Craftsunderground! You rock!

I am so pleased to share photos of the lovely patches I received from Endymion. They are from my "brights" theme and a craftster's choice that I will call "Inspirational." She packaged everything in such a lovely folder that I know good things were about to unfold.

Now I see that I am missing a photo of the first one, so I will go off and try to fix that, but will go on with the other.

This patch just blew me away. The font, the fabric, the spectacles, and the sentiment. It's just a lovely gem. Isn't it mesmerizing?

It reminds me of The Great Gatsby and now I want to start collecting patches with a literary theme. Isn't that a great idea?
I want you to show you the optical illusion-type fabric she used on the back--perfect!

I just love it and I plan to frame it and put it in my office.
Thanks Endymion.

I am so glad you like the patches! I thought the spectacles would go along with your vintage theme and also maybe letters (although it was really more "words" or "sentences"!)

And then the other one addressed both "flowers" and "brights".

Beautiful

I received two awesome patches from GoldenSunshine today. First is a button-themed patch:



I love how the fabric makes it seems as if the butterflies are flying.

And an "I love Dots" patch - and I do love dots!



Thanks so much Lindsey!

Glad you liked them!!! :-D

This has been such an exciting swap for me. I happened to have some extra crafting time that coincided with this swap so I was able to claim a few times and in return was claimed by some wonderful craftsters.

I received 2 terrific patches from Robinpich. They are in my "brights" and "buttons" themes. This one reminds me of "Starry Night", I just love it.



The second is a spirited, freewheeling' piece and is just what I was hoping for.



Thanks for claiming me Robinpich.

I also received some patches from KriSmith. We were in the middle of a personal swap for 3 patches when she claimed me for another 2 in this swap.  I hope it's okay to post them all here, because I think you will like them as much as I do.
Here are more bright and button themed patches and a cute note that has a patch sewn on it, just like one of the patches.


Next up are two Steampunk patches, another of my themes. How cute is that little belt? And, I just love the fabric with the handwriting and stamp.



Last up is the first one I have received for my White Stripes theme. It beautifully incorporates their colors, music notes, and white buttons--all featured by the band.
Thanks so much for claiming me KriSmith and for the personal swap too.


Now I am off to put the patches I made into the mail so that I can claim someone else.
