Received a couple of wonderful packages & a couple of WIPS

Hi,

Here are a couple of my WIPS and a couple of exchanges I received.

The first picture is a WIP of mine. It is called Pumpkin Patch by Prairie Schooler. I am stitching it 1 over 2 on 36ct. Parchment from WDW. I am using the recommened DMC floss. It is a really fun stitch.


This is Boo by Charland Designs. It is from last year's JCS Halloween magazine. I am stitching it on 32ct. linen call Boo from Dying 4 U. I am using DMC Black and will use white for the eyes. It is also really fun to stitch and stitching up really quickly.

I received these squares from Jill as part of the Fair & Square Blog. Jill did a wonderful job stitching. She read my blog that I loved Halloween and I was able to take this out my to do pile. But have already added something to that pile in its place. Thank you so much Jill. It is truly wonderful.

This exchange is from Faye as part of the Hooked on Exchanging blog. She stitched and finished a wonderful piece for me from Lizzie Kate. It already has a special place in my basket that I keep all my exchanges in that I receive. Faye also made me a cute scissor fob, which is going on my scissors tonight, as I am always losing them. She also sent a charm, some patriotic ribbon, a piece of 28ct. linen, some red linen and summer stickers. Thank you so much Faye. It is beautiful.

It is wonderful to see all the wonderful, talented stitcheres that are out there. Let's all keep sharing our love of stitching with everyone we can.

Until next time....

Happy Stitching

Received a Package

Today I received my Christmas in July package (Hooked on Exchanging Blog) from Sadie. She stitched me a small christmas piece by Little House Needleworks. I love it. She did a wonderful job on it. My son has already asked me to make the Santa kit for him, and I will do the dog for my daughter as she loves dogs.

On the stitching front, I am stitching on a quaker house as part of a summer house exchange and a Stitcher's Sampler from the designer The Stitcherhood. I will both pictures of both as soon as I can.

The family and I are off on vacation on Friday afternoon. I am excited. We are off to see panda bears and mountains and what ever else on the way.

Until next time
Happy Stitching

Some Finishes & Exchange Pieces

Hi,

After some computer issues, I back finally and able to post a few pieces of some of my finishes and a few exchange pieces I have received.

The first picture are the squares I received from Pokua. They are very pretty and the picture does not do them justice. This is a Halloween piece I stitched from Blackbird Designs from their Trix or Treat booklet. It was alot of fun to stitch and I can't wait to finish it into a pillow.

This is another piece I stitched that is from Blackbird Designs that is also in their Trix or Treat booklet. I am going to finish it into a small Halloween stocking and put some candy in it.

If you couldn't tell, I was in a Blackbird Design kick for a little while. This is also from their Trix or Treat booklet and will be made into a pinkeep.

These squares were from Karen and were part of the F&S Exchange 4th of July Round. She stitched me a Shepherd's Bush Deisgn. I love it.

Finally, last, but not certainly least, this is a Just Nan piece that I received in an exchange from the Hooked on Exchanging blog. Caroline stitched this for me and she did a wonderful job. The inside have lavender in it and smells wonderful. Thank you so much

That is all for now. My family and I have a wedding on the 4th of July to attend and the rest of the time I am going to spend stitching. I will post pictures of what I worked on on Monday.

Until then

Happy Stitching
