Polka Dots

Ahh squishy mail bliss, that's what it was here, on Friday. I found a box on my front porch Friday afternoon. Now I have to tell you I ripped that puppy open before I even thought of getting the camera. But I'm sure you've all seen a box before, right?

Does this little signature bow and card give you a clue as to who the sender may be?

Then maybe this sneak peek that was shown last week may give you a clue.

Divine spots in gorgeous shades of blue, red, orange, white and green set on a soft strawberry pink, teamed with yummy red and white stripes and tiny little blue buttons. Beautifully hand stitched Dresden plate with such a cute little pink bird taking centre stage.
A lovely long handle (she must know I'm tall) finished off with a cute bow and toggle button. I'm sure you must have guessed by now! Yes the lovely Stephanie sent this divine creation as a thank you for the Spring Swap.

Thank you so much Stephanie, I just love it to bits. It had it's first trip out only minutes after it arrived.
Thank you to everyone who responded to by bouncing problem. It's now solved. DH and I spent yesterday afternoon rearranging the sewing room, and the machine is back on the wooden table, no problems with bouncing now.
Happy Stitching.
