For my three amigos this year I made them each a Christmas Recipe folder which is a pattern from Fiona at “Designs by Fee”. Thank you for sharing this pattern with us, Fiona.
Here they are all wrapped up. I made the tags from some collaged fabric pieces and painted the luggage tags in watercolours. I have now given all the girls their recipe folders and they loved them.
This is my dear friend, Marleen. She dresses her house up for Christmas with all her Christmas quilts and nick nacks. It looks a treat.
It inspired me to come home and decorate a little more. I ended up putting every single decoration I own (which isn’t many really) on our tree and around the house.
Our Tree.
Next time….. gifts received!!

I can see how they would have been very happy with their Folders Just lovely
Those folders are so lovely. I made one for my sister and gave it to her for her birthday a couple of months ago. She loved it.
Lovely Christmas pics.Good for you putting all your decorations and Cdhristmas things around. Think I better get a move on and do it here.
Your handmade gifts look so lovely Dianne, and shows the love and respect you have for your friends. How lovely to see Marleen, and her lovely patchwork. It is such a small world in many ways. I, too, am thankful for the stitching friends I've made, not only here but throughout the world - so many beautiful people, full of talent, creativity, and kindness. Cheers.
Merry Christmas Di.
