2 More Exchanges Received...

WOW! What a week. I received 3 exchanges.

Earlier this week I received my HOE Biscornu Exchange, which is posted below.

On Thursday, I received my Earth Day Squares from Ruth B, shown above. The pattern is an adjusted version of one from Donna Kooler's 555 Timeless Cross-Stitch patterns. She also sent great goodies; a sampler thread, a Vicki Clayton overdyed silk and some flower buttons. Thank you Ruth!







Today, the mailman brought a package to the door which contained by SBEBB Tea Time Exchange, pictured above. It was from Cathymk in Australia. Cathy made me a Bourse that has a LHN pattern in the center, Spiced Tea. It is gorgeous. It too came with some great goodies. First, the fabric that the bourse is sitting on came from Cathy. This fabric is so cool I had to take a picture of it by itself. She also sent a beautiful tea cup, 2 Vicki Clayton overdyed silks and a tea hand towel. Thank you Cathy!

A Couple of Exchanges Sent

I just received word that 2 of my exchanges were received today. I had the same person, Simone from the Netherlands, for both the HOE Biscornu Exchange and the SBEBB Tea Time Exchange.

I read on Simone's blog and wishlist that she collects birdhouses, so I used that as the theme for the biscornu exchange.



Along with the biscornu, I also sent a great project bag that my friend Joan makes and a Heart in Hand birdhouse pattern with the fabric, floss and embellishments.




For the tea time exchange, well that already had a theme. I did however get her a LHN pattern from her wishlist, along with a Debbie Mumm teapot, some biscottis, a teapot charm, DMC variations in both floss and perle cotton and of course some tea. I stitched a new design from Lizzie Kate.
