My First Exchange and More

Lainey had a Spring exchange. This was first time that I had particpated in an exchange and I loved it. My partner was Chris at Tot Hill and this is the beautiful ornie she made for me. It is a PS design and I love it. Her stitching and finishing are wonderful. Below are all the goodies she sent me.

The candy has been consumed, the hand sanitizer, tissues and the cutest little notepad are already in use. Again, thank you to Chris for such a wonderful exchange.

This is the pin pillow I made for Chris. It's a BBD design. It was so much fun to do. Below are the goodies I gave to Chris. Candy, of course, a tin with a cookie in it, a pair of scissors and a skein of silk.

I won a giveaway that that Magee had. She had very inventive giveaways. This one was if we could pick our name, what would it be. I said Autumn, which is true. Love the name, time of year and the colors. I love the fall designs that I won.

It has been a busy couple of weeks. I am getting the house ready to put on the market. It seems that the work is endless. Hope to call in the realtors next week. I did manage to get some stitching in. I did these 6 little ornies for Spring. They are from a very old PS chart (1991).

This is 13 Colonies by LHN. I am using 32 ct Navy Bean with the suggested DMC, WDW and CC fibers. This is going to be very large but I am loving every stitch. With all the wavy borders and veins your counting has to be spot on. Sorry about the lousy pictures. It is dark and rainy here. I couldn't escape the shadows.

I had hoped to have my giveaway ready for this post but the mail has held me up. It will be in my next post, so stay tuned.

I hope every one has a wonderful Easter. Until next time....Happy Stitching. Deborah
