Exchanges Received and Sent

I have returned from my one month visit to Houston, Texas and am busy playing "catch up" ~ I want to share some exchange pictures...


First I received a wonderful Fair and Square Exchange from Neila. She sent me a beautifully stitched "Spring" design, a wonderful half yard cut of fabric that compliments the design perfectly, Carrie's Creation hand dyed floss and some delicious chocolates. A huge thank you Neila for stitching me such a gorgeous block and for the wonderful extras that you included.

Designer: Lizzie Kate Flip-It Block; June

Fair & Square round #5 from Neila


Like me, Neila is a coffee lover so I decided to stitch her this LHN design:


Fair & Square for Neila

Designer: Little House needleworks

Design taken from: Coffee Menu


I sent out me Stitching Bloggers Birthday Club exchange to Cheryl, whose birthday was March 1st. I decided to stitch a Prairie Schooler design and finished it into a Stitcher's Caddy.


Designer: Prairie Schooler

Design: FRIENDS

Until next time...

Marie,

Welcome back! It's great to see a post from you. Your exchanges (received and sent) are lovely. I just love the stitcher's caddy that you made for your birthday partner. I'd say she is one lucky lady to receive such a wonderful gift.

Your winter exchange is in the mail. I think I have e.s.p. when it comes to you because I just had that "feeling" that you were going to be home this week.

Again, welcome home.
