Winter Exchange from Karen D.

I received my winter exchange today from Karen D. She knows me quite well and really spoiled me. When this exchange started I had requested Shepherds Bush designs as I didn't have as many of them as I would like. All 4 seasons she delivered.


This is so cute! I just love it.


Karen also sent me some linen, a purple needleminder which she made, magnets, a frogging tool, an ort catcher (which she also made), a purple sock with lots of candy canes and the Recipes for a Cure cookbook that the Attic Needlework sold (which I really wanted!). Thank you so much Karen, for all my exchanges. You fulfilled my request quite well.

I have enjoyed this exchange forum this past year. I have chose not to participate next year. I really want to do more stitching for myself. Thank you Michele and Karen for putting this together.

First Day of Summer

Today, June 21, is the first day of summer. What a perfect day to receive my Summer exchange from Karen.

Karen stitched a Shepherds Bush design, Scatter Freedom, and finished it is a small pillow. It is just beautiful.


Karen does beautiful stitching and finishing. She also included some very nice goodies.

She sent a piece of banding with a blue decorative edge, a fat quarter of patriotic fabric, a card of different 4th of July ribbons, a pack of #28 Bohin needles (which I have been wanting to try), some buttons and rusted pins and bells which she made, a skein of Belle Soie silk thread and a very cute wooden stick that has patriotic firecrackers on the top. I love all of it! Thank you Karen!

Happy Spring to Me!

I just received my Spring Exchange from Karen D. in the mail today and it is a beaute!

I had mentioned that I would like a Shepherd's Bush design as I don't have as many of them as I would like and Karen answered. She stitched "Scatter Kindness" and finished it in one of my favorite finishes. It has lots of cute buttons on it and she even put our names, exchange name and the year on the back.



She also sent me the most wonderful goodies that are just perfect for me. They were all wrapped up in the purple fabric that is in the background and the very colorful ribbon.


Thank you so much, Karen. I love all of it!
