BBP Exchange FOR Claudia

Do you remember what Claudia and I did a BBP (Belated Birthday Present) Exchange a short while ago?
And finally my parcel has safely delivered to Claudia and I've got an e-mail to tell about it from her, so I post some photos what I've made for her here!
I've sent out the parcel to her by Express Mail, but this time it took more than a week, so I was really worried about it... I had been checking the tracking number almost everyday online, and I was going to ask post officer where the my parcel is now...

So, when I've got an e-mail from Claudia today that my parcel has safely arrived to her, I felt so relief!!





By the way, as you already know that my tastes are not so elegant, I think it's in the genre of casual... :D
I knew Claudia loves elegant types of works, so I was a bit worried to stitch for her, and my brain worked so hard to think a lot what to stitch for her! LOL
To stitch and make this "Rose Pincushion" is the second time for me, and this time I added elegant lace around as edging.




And I stitched a small square "Dear Friend" © Elizabeth's Designs, and also added the lace around the edge and made a bourse (pouch) with it!
How is this? Actually it was the first time for me to make bourse, so I didn't know whether it was OK or not so good... :(



But Claudia told me that she loves everything I've made for her and she is so happy to received my presents, so I'm really glad to hear and happy, too!
This design "Dear Friend" © Elizabeth's Designs is actually a colourful design, but I have mostly stitched with DMC#815 and used Hand-dyed thread for the word "FOR A Dear FRIEND" and three hearts!

And... I added "Drop-shaped Coasters" for her to use when she has tea or coffee with friends!
Because I remember that she said she loved this coaster, when she saw them on my blog.
I used beautiful flowery fabric and Pearls and the laces for her, they are special version, lol!


I was soooooooooooo touched by her present for me when I've received, but I was really touched by her e-mail which I've got today!
I felt she really loves my works and her words made me sooooo happy!

Thank you Claudia for being my friend!
Let's do BP or BBP (lol) Exchange next year, too!

My sweet friend, I'm so happy and touched and I adore everything you sent!!!! As I told you, you do not have to be worried about the special gifts you made for me: they come from your heart and they are elegant, beautiful and so lovely much more than many things I own, because they have been specially designed and stitched for me only! You made my day and I had a very very very special birthday!
