SBEBB Grateful Hearts Exchange from Aniza

I received this beautiful Indigo Rose Design "Wildhearts" from Aniza on Tuesday! She made it into a lovely pinkeep and then added some wonderful goodies into the package. The fibers are ones she made herself, they have such beautiful color to them. And then to top of the package she added some very pretty trims for my future projects. Thank you so much Aniza, this was such a joy to open and everything was so beautiful!!

SBEBB Harvest House from Cari



I received this wonderful package from Cari today. She stitched the cutest LHN over one for the hanger, isn't it pretty, so much work. She also sent a Halloween Mesh bag and a great Shepherds Bush fob and scissor kit, that has the floss and fabric (and scissors) with it!! She did a wonderful job and I love it all!!

Grateful Hearts

exchange for SBEBB was mailed on Monday. It turned out even better than I thought it would. So now I am waiting on two exchanges to get to my partners. I am almost finished stitching on my redwork exchange. It is different than any I've made before, I can't wait to see how it turns out. Hopefully tonight I can start assembly on it. It has a lot of beads, so I hope that I will have it all finished by tomorrow night, so I can mail it out on Saturday (it has a very long way to go)!!!

Stitching, Stitching, Stitching

I really am stitching, I just can't show you pictures of what I have done yet. I have three exchanges pretty much all stitched, one gone, two in the need of assembly!!! As soon as they arrive to their new homes I will post them!!! I am trying something I haven't made before a needlebook!!

SBEBB Quaker Alphabet for Cathy in Australia

I really liked this one. I stitched it on 40ct linen and the lettering is over one, (okay, Ill be honest I didn't realize the lettering was over one when I started, I think I am getting too old to do that too often :) ).. It is Stitched with Plush Plum from Crescent Belle Soie. I also hit the DMC sales here to try to complete as much of Cathy's DMC collection as I could, LOL..

I really love the plum color and hope to use it for something nice for me sometime.


Here it is:
It is the Quaker Diamond from Hillside Sampling
