Joan, you were such a great sport--thanks!
Here is what I made for Joan.
I had asked Joan's daughter to "steal" a few things from her stash for me as I wanted to stitch something for her. I picked this hardanger piece as it had been quite awhile since I did hardanger and was excited. I actually taught hardanger some years back at one of the best LNS' that ever existed.
There were 7 of us at the retreat and we were all quite productive. I stitched the following 2 items and started another.
This is "Sew Peacock" by Carol @ iStitchaholic. Of course I had to do it in purple. It is Belle Soie Elegant Eggplant, stitch 1 over 2 on 40ct Antique White Linen.
Here is the 2nd thing I stitched--Block 3 of Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. I am really enjoying this piece, 1 square a month.
It was a very fun weekend and I look forward to our next retreat!
Thanks to all of you for the wonderful comments on Hearts Left Behind and my Spring Exchange. I appreciate everyone who visits my blog.
Have a great week!

What a lovely gift you stitched for Joan - fantastic!
And you did a great job on the peacock - when I saw Carol talking about that chart, I thought of you and wondered if you'd be stitching it - of course you would! Love the colour choice :o)
I have never done hardanger, but that is so pretty!!!! Great gift!

Jillis,
Thanks again for all your gifts and the fun weekend. I am glad to have a "Jill" Hardanger piece. You helped make my BIG birthday great. Can't wait to be back home for good on Saturday.
Everything is so beautiful! What a fabulous bunch of stitching you've been doing. I love your HRH Christmas piece and the idea that you've paced yourself to one square per month...great idea. I'm really admiring all you're up to these days!
Wow Jill, these pieces are lovely,
especially the hardanger! I am going to have a go at doing some hardanger over the next few months, I think it looks so pretty.
