Faye~ YOU ROCK!

I think we can all agree THE Carolina Stitcher ROCKS!  I have enjoyed receiving Faye's packages this year.  I'm just sorry that this year has come to an end.  Thank you so much Faye!

I realized when I came to this blog to post about the package I received today that I didn't post the Autumn exchange.  Boy, do I feel like a fool.  So sorry Faye, the exchange I received in the Autumn round was FAB!

Faye and I at the Pals Fall Fling in October. 

Faye personally delivered my exchange in Myrtle Beach.

Look at this GORGEOUS hand-stained box she labored over.

The containers inside were also hand-stained. 

Inside the containers were finishing trinkets and lots of pretties.

The Winter Round

I received this package in the mail today.

Once again, Faye out does herself. 

In the package:  a cute primitive Christmas pillow, a huge piece of linen, a mother of pearl thread winder, multi colored jingle bells, a notepad, the cutest-est zipper pouch, and 3 foil Christmas cut outs.

Faye~I've thoroughly enjoyed your exchanges this year and will cherish the pieces you've stitched.....ALWAYS!

Merry Christmas,

Diane

A Public Apology

I pride myself on my promptness.  I'm the kind of person that will arrive at least 15 minutes earlier than I'm supposed to.  I hate to be late.  I still live by my high school marching band's motto "Early is on time, On time is late."

With the craziness of life right now I have not been as prolific a stitcher as I normally am and as a result my exchange stitching has really suffered.  I did manage to stitch my piece, but it is still siting on the finishing table. 

All this to say........

I'M SORRY FAYE!!!!

I promise I will get your package to you soon.  Worst case I'll just have to bring it to you in Myrtle Beach.

Thanks for understanding!

Thanks Bunches Miss Faye!!!!!

My Exchange arrived from Faye!!!!
Look at the cutie cute cute Ladybug Ladybug piece she stitched.  I love ladybugs!  Notice the cute ladybut button on the bottom right.  As always Faye your work is a delight for the eyes.  Plus she included lots of  wonderful "Summer" goodies. 

You know how to spoil a girl Faye!

Thanks again,

Diane

WOW! Faye really spoiled me! First she stitched one of BBD's patriotic stockings! Faye did an excellent job finishing the stocking and now i don't have to stitch this one (it was next on my list of their stockings). LOL THEN, Faye added some gorgeous red 35ct linen, dirty linen, some yummy red floss, an Uncle Sam little figurine and a patriotic scissor fob that has jumped right onto my ginghers already. :)
thank you sooooo much Faye!!!!
