Urban Home Swap - Received! :), originally uploaded by jenib320.
Yesterday I received an amazing package from Kerri of Sew Deerly Loved for the Urban Home Goods Swap! I was super excited that these goodies landed in my mailbox! I had been really hoping they were for me! I was completely spoiled, everything is beautiful!

This beautiful pillow already has a form and looks great on my couch! She used the beautiful (yet-to-be-released!) Dream On line by Moda. I am so in love with this line already and it looks awesome on this pillow! It's beautifully pieced and quilted!

Check out this sweet wall-hanging! I love to decorate with embroidery hoops and this piece is so cute! I never tire of patchwork :)

As you all know, I am a little bit obsessed with garlands/bunting. I am constantly making new ones because it's such a great way to change up decorations! This bunting is made from some seriously awesome vintage sheets! She used a different print on each side, so it's really double-sided. Isn't that clever? It's already found a home over my TV!

As if all those goodies weren't already enough, she included these sweet fabrics! They are so cool! I think these may become a cool patchwork apron! And yum to the leftovers from a Dream On layercake! :D

Thank you so much Kerri! You seriously went above and beyond! Everything you made is beautiful and thoughtful! This was such a fun swap! Can't wait for the next round! By the way, incase you don't know Kerri, you should go check out her sweet blog and shop. She stocks it with a handpicked selection of super cute fabrics and notions! :)
