My PIFs Have Been Received!

Last February I had a drawing for 3 PIFs. Lynda, Roberta and Sabine were the lucky winners. I didn't get them done and mailed right away and with all that happened last year it took me the whole year to complete them.

However, they have received them now so I can share them with you.


I stitched Little House Needleworks Heart and Home Sampler and finished them as pin pillows. I was very pleased in how they turned out!

Congrats to my recipients and I hope you enjoy them!

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.

Fair Squares and an Ornament Received

Lynda let me know yesterday that she received the Fair Squares Round #8 I stitched for her.

I stitched "Five Birds" by Barrick Samplers. I have wanted to do these for quite some time and since Lynda loves all kinds of samplers, I thought they were appropriate.

July was the first month for the Christmas Ornament Swap that I am in. Staci was the first recipient. I stitched the Country Cottage Ornament from the 2006 Just Cross Stitch Ornament book.


I switched the color of the house to Sampler Threads, Red Grape and used Whisper for the sheep. This was a fun stitch!
