Spring Exchange

I participated in the Spring exchange on the Stitched With Love Exchange Blog.  It has been a while since I participated in an exchange and I was delighted with my exchange.  My partner was Lynda and although I nearly exhausted my feeble little brain trying to guess my partner, I didn't have a clue until the reveal that it was her.

Just take a look at the wonderful things that arrived in my mailbox:


 
I have admired this BBD design for quite some time on others blogs and almost jumped with joy when I saw that Lynda has chosen to stitch it for me.  Isn't the pillow finish with the lace just perfect?!  And look at the wonderful bag she included filled with a LHN pattern which I love, springy scissors, lovely fabric and flosses, flower seeds, and a gorgeous beaded fob.  (swoon)  Thank you so much Lynda - you spoiled me.  I have already started stitching the pattern and can't wait to get it made up into an ornament for my tree.
 
I stitched for Debbie in this exchange.  I chose to stitch another BBD pattern "Tulip House".  I decided to finish it as a wallhanging.



 
As you can see, I sent along a few goodies as well. 
 
A most delightful exchange all around I do believe.  The best part of an exchange in my opinion is "meeting" a couple of new friends while sharing our love of stitching.

Cold and Icy

Image
Hello friends!  It has been cold and icy here this weekend.  Work closed early Friday and the ice was so bad yesterday we didn't even open.  I took advantage of the extra time and did the finishing on my With Thy Needle Friendship samplers. Victorian Motto cluny lace trim for this one. Chenille - again from Victorian Motto. I completed the stitching on this "Bluebird Serenade" and finished it up too.  I tried a new technique for me with the ric rac - I wove two different shades of pink together. See how different it looks?  Love it! And here they are, so happy together! I also spent some time with my sewing machine and made up these mug mats for Valentine's Day.  This is the January Label Crew project by Sweetwater. I had several scraps left over and since I am not one to waste such pretty bits... I used them to make these sweet fabric valentines.  :o)   A winner has been selected....

I Stitched!

Something about this series really appeals to me. I just love the look of chalkboards but they are so messy. This way I get the chalkboard but not the mess! I have an idea for my finish using this little chalkboard I found at Wal-Mart. I think with a bit of Briwax and some ribbon it will be cute. I just hope it turns out like the picture in my head. Stay tuned!
