I Got Mail!

I haven't received anything in the mail for quite some time and today I got 2 packages.

First, I received a beautiful Needlecase for the Love of Needlework Exchange from Hazel. The design she used is LHN's Traveling Stitcher. In her note she says, "there was no purple in the design so I used purple felt for the pages". That is so sweet! She not only gave me a page of new #26 needles, she also gave me a page with some straight pins on it.



Hazel also included a pattern from my wishlist and some dark chocolate (my favorite!).


Thank you so much, Hazel. I love all of it!

The second package was a Make A Wish that I made back in May. I had wished for something patriotic. Shelleen answered my wish and today it came. There was no note so I can't share any specifics about the design.



Last week I had myself removed from the Make A Wish board. It doesn't get much traffic anymore and it just wasn't working for me like it was suppose to.


Tonight I have to go to my monthly church meeting so I won't get much more stitching time in today.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

For the Love of Needlework

I participated in an exchange on the Friends Through Threads blog. It was called "For the Love of Needlework". We were to make a needlecase using some form of needlework. Nic posted today that she received it, whew! It was Nic I sent an exchange to last fall and she never got it. After about 4 months, it came back to me! Oh well, anyway...

I started with Lizzie Kate's "August Stamp Flip-It" pattern, changing the word August to Needles.



It is stitched on 28ct. Light Mocha Cashel linen with DMC Variations and DMC floss. I also sent her a Shepherds Bush kit, but forgot to take a picture of it. You can see it on Nic's blog.

Thanks for visiting and thanks for all the wonderful comments.
