This is what I ended up sending.

(The colors are more accurate in this photo.)
Elizabeth requested a cover for her sewing machine, Betsy 2.0. I used this tutorial to construct the cover. For the patchwork, I used the pattern in Malka Dubrawsky's Fresh Quilting. A few other swappers used this pattern too--it's perfect for solids! Elizabeth gave me her sewing machine's dimensions, but I was still worried about it fitting! She posted a picture of it on her machine, so I think it worked out.

For the small item, I made a notebook cover. I know Elizabeth is a sketcher and a list-maker, so I figured she could use these. I sent a journal and a graph paper version. (Note to self: buy these in bulk next back-to-school season!) Tutorial here.

I sent this little Batman mini for Elizabeth's son. Our boys are kindred spirits, and I know they'd be buddies if we lived closer together.

I also threw in this Kona Solids charm pack. I figure if she didn't like anything else, she could at least use this!
Everything arrived safely at Elizabeth's house, and she seems really happy with it, so I'm calling it a success. Thanks to Elizabeth and Megan for hosting! I can see how this swap business can become an addiction...

*Definitely* a success - congratulations on a great swap package!
Swaps are definitely addicting.
Your swap projects are beautiful! (& I would have been nervous to get one of the hosts TOO!)
So GREAT Katie! :) I bet E. LOVES it! Ready for another round? :)
It's wonderful! A truly great swap package. Great job!
Oh, aren't you sweet! What beautiful projects for such a deserving partner!
When I got your package on Saturday, I was sewing, and my husband answered the door. He said I got a box, and I asked where it was from, and when he said, I squealed and told him that it was my swap package from you!! I had been hoping your items were for me, and I was so glad they were :) Awesome partner!!
So beautiful, Katie!
What a fun, fun package.
I love what you did with the sewing machine cover!
What a beautiful sewing machine cover!
