Fall Exchange from Michele

Look what arrived for me today. I received my Fall Exchange from Michele.
It was well worth the wait. She really spoiled me.

This is the box that all the goodies arrived in. I thought it was so cute.

Michele stitched me a Blackbird Designs stocking. It's from the book Tis Halloween, the design is called Deadly Nightshade. The ribbon on it is bats. They are so cute.

Here are all my goodies: a little gems scissors by Kelmscott with a beaded fob, some handmade marking pins, the DMC pink kit, candle pumpkins, a halloween hand towel, halloween ribbon, seven hand dyed threads, a stuffed pumpkin, Heart in Hand Wool Whimsy, some harvest M&M's and some pumpkin/harvest beads.

Thank you Michele

Hey Joan ....

guess what's going in the mail today??!! sorry about it being late!!

Hugs, Michele

Bent Creek "Autumn Arches"

Oh my goodness....I could not believe my eyes when I opened this.  I just love Bent Creek, especially their older designs, and this is one of my favorites that I have just never gotten around to stitching.  Kim stitched this over one and I can't believe how much it changed the "look" of the design.  It will fit just perfectly by my stitching chair.   

Look at these neatly wrapped little treasures!

I also have to share this little detail.....

Kim personalized the inside of the box....how sweet!  Needless to say, this was a great mail day.  Thanks Kim for a great package!

Autumn Exchange from Karen

Today I received my Autumn exchange from Karen D. Once again, it is gorgeous!

Karen stitched "Scatter Pumpkins" by Shepherds Bush and finished it as a flat-fold. Believe it or not, this is my very first flat-fold. I have never even made one myself it. I absolutely love it!


It is so beautifully stitched and finished. Karen also sent me some very useful goodies.


Alot of my favorite things here, love it all!

Thank you Karen!

It's in the Mail!

Hey Karen, I hang my head in shame but I got your package mailed today.

I couldn't find a box that was the right size for it anywhere! They were all too big or too small. Finally my husband managed to construct a "box" of the right size out of a bigger box. I believe his exact words were "it's okay if it's ugly right?" So be on the lookout for an ugly box!

My exchange rec'd from Faye

well, better late than never, i finally posted the pic. I'm not sure if its the camera or the computer (probably computer) but they don't seem to like each other and just give me fits.
Sooooooooooooo,,,,, here is the wonderful exchange i rec'd from Faye last week. Faye stitched one of the fall BBD stockings for me AND one of her wonderful famous pincushions with pins. And these awesome fat quarters, look at those colors. so yummmyyy.. and the floss all match everything in it.
Thank you again Faye for a wonderful and amazing exchange!!!!!

Happy Sunday

I received my Autumn package from Karen yesterday. Isn't this the cutest pillow! The design is from Heart in Hand's Autumn Trio. I love the finishing, you did a great job Karen :)

Karen also included some homemade pins and a gift certificate to Down Sunshine Lane.
Thanks so much Karen, I love my Autumn exchange.

Hugs, Michele
