The 1st is a beautiful Redwork Exchange that I received from Goldie.
USEBB: Redwork ExchangeReceived from: Goldie
It is hard to believe that this is the very first tie-on pillow she has made. I have yet to make one, may need lessons from you Goldie!
The design is titled Alphabet Tree; by Blue Ribbon ~ I just love it! Goldie stitched this using Gloriana over dyed Cranberry Silk, simply beautiful. Thanks for personalizing it with our initials.
She also included a half yard of pretty red fabric (a quilters dream), small red buttons, "M" notepad, and DMC 115. I love working with that color. If you have not tried it I highly recommend it!
Thank you so much Goldie for the beautiful pillow and wonderful extras~ I love everything that you sent!

She stitched three beautiful items:
A gorgeous Tin Topper, stitched in the most perfect shade of green (matches the walls in my family room ).
A stunning tiny FOB, stitched perfectly on such small count!
She also included a very pretty Christmas ornament. I had admired this on her blog. I love the shape of the tree.
Becky spoiled me with so many wonderful treats: Coffee (she must have read this blog), Tea, scented stones, some small round magnets that I can use when finishing a needle minder, dark chocolate Altoids-yum!
USEBB Specific Finish Exchange: Tin Topper
Deigner: Hillside Samplings
Received from: Becky K.
Thanks so much Becky K. for all that you sent. Please know that I will treasure your beautifully stitched gifts!
Village of Hawk Run Hollow SAL...
I was able to get some fabric for Village of Hawk Run Hollow and have joined in on the SAL with Kathy and Jane. Things are really busy now so this will not be a stitching marathon, we have a goal of stitching one block per month. We welcome others to join in, this is a great way to actually finish those projects! Visit our blogs where we will post pictures of our progress!
Wishing all Blog readers a very relaxing and enjoyable Labor Day Weekend~Safe travels!
Until next time...

What beautiful exchanges to receive!
OOOH, I am so happy you were so spoiled :) You deserve it :)
Enjoy all your lovely exchanges :)
Very nice exchanges. I'm envious.
Glad you mentioned the SAL. I have worked on it some more. Not sure I will be able to finish a block a month with all the other stitching that I want to get done for Christmas and Design models. Will give it a shot. Should have a progress picture up on my blog this weekend.
You must be thrilled, such wonderful exchanges!!
Good luck on the Village, you'll have fun with that. I deleted all my WIP piccies of it, but there is one on my blog if you'ld like to check it out (http://xstitch-nl.blogspot.com/2007/03/things-can-only-get-better.html). I haven't made any more progress on it. Perhaps your SAL will inspire me to pick it up again... :o)
Oh how beautiful exchanges, enjoy :) I know the feeling, I admire every day the gorgeous pinkeep you stitched for me :) I show it to everyone and they always love it :)
Gorgeous exchanges. You are definitely spoiled :-). Don't you love it! I may have to join you all in the VoHRH, I have block one done. I'd love to be finished in a year or so.
Beautiful exchanges! Congrats!
