2018 FEBRUARY - SHILLYSHALLY SWAP
Ladies! I purchased Mary Janes Idea Book and found some really neat stuff in it, one being the ShillyShally! What a handy item to have on hand!
A ShillyShally you ask? Well it is simple! It is a 36x36 cut of fabric which can be used for cooling your neck to covering your lap whilst you shell peas! It can cover your head or it can be used to wipe little hands and faces! There are so many uses for a ShillyShally!
Each ShillyShally will be hemmed and the embellishing will be left to the receiver.
FEBRUARY THEME: Fabric with Red in it!
GUIDELINES FOR SHILLYSHALLY:
1. Choose a 36x36 piece of Cotton fabric. Prewash your fabric to cover any skrinkage prior to cutting so it will be true to size. Trim any selvage prior to hemming.
2. You will put a hem around the ShillyShally using embroidery, ribbon, rickrack, etc.
3. You will include embroidery floss for your swap partner to use to embellish her ShillyShally
4. Please, no other tucks required. Let's keep it simple!

I just loved seeing all these ideas, they are great! Sherry, I'm so glad you liked it :) It was fun to do, glad the blue suited with a touch of token red. I would try this swap again, but not in March - it looks to be busy!

I bought a huge piece of that fabric at an estate sale when we lived in Texas.
Made my husband a bbq apron and a few pillow covers. Glad you like it :)

Christy.... Yes, parts of Texas had winter weather and likely slowed everything down. However..
Picked up your package at the post office. So AWESOME ! Absolutely love it. It fabric is heavy and appears to be a blend. The edging is has beautiful embellishments. The trim on the edges is so intricate. So lovely. Pretty embroidery thread included as well as 2 special tea bags. Wonderful. 
You have lovely needlework skills.... Thank you so very much...
Have a Blessed day.

Oh wow! I didn't realize there was an ice storm. I have friends and family in Texas and they didn't mention. That would explain the delay. Hope she's not had damage from the storm.
