A Great Week for Mail!

This past week I received several exchanges and had to wait for my son to come back from New York with my camera.

On Wednesday, I received my SBEBB Summer House Exchange from Vonna. Vonna stitched me LHN's "Berries" and replaced it with my name. She continued stitching fences and finished it as a mattress pincushion. It is just beautiful!










Vonna also sent me some terrific goodies. A LHN pattern, Thread Gathering, which I have wanted for quite some time, my favorite needles, a spool of ribbon, a candle and 2 different skeins of thread.






Thank you Vonna!

Yesterday, I received my HoE Summer Quaker Exchange from Carol R. Carol made me an exquisite pin cushion which is a CA Wells design that she changed up a bit.















Carol also sent me some great goodies. A spool of ribbon, some floss and a piece of 30ct. Brussels linen. Just lovely!



Thank you Carol!

And today, I received my Round #8 Fair Squares from Lynda A. Lynda had e-mailed me and asked if there was anything in particular I wanted stitched. I don't usually specify anything special because to receive anything stitched is so special. However, I did say if she wanted to she could stitch me something "stitching" related. I havent' received anything with that theme. Well, Lynda came through. They are just perfect for me, even got the purple involved. I love it!


They are just wonderful! Thank you Lynda.

I really love all of my gifties I received this week. I will treasure them forever. Thanks.

A Couple of Exchanges Received

I finally got word that a couple of my exchanges were received.

First, I found out that Ulla, in Finland, received my SBEBB Summer House Exchange last week. I mailed this over 2 weeks ago and was anxiously waiting to hear from her.

I stitched the house from "Houses and Homes" by Birds of A Feather. I stitched this entire design for myself a few years back and thought that it is a great looking summer house. I used Weeks Dye Works and a piece of 32 ct. home-dyed linen.


I also sent Ulla a few goodies. A DMC marbleized scissors, needles, ribbon, a thread counter, some fabric, linen threads and a tape measure.

Then, today, I got word that Olga received my HoE Summer Quaker exchange.

I stitched the Summer block from "Seasonal Accents Samplers" by Needle and I on Floba with DMC Floss. I finished it as a tin. This was my first attempt at this and I think it turned out kind of cute.


Olga also received some goodies. I sent a marbleized scissors, some needles, a thread counter, personalized notecards, fabric and a chicken pin cushion.


Both of these exchanges were alot of fun and I'm glad they arrived safely.
