Drawn Thread Exchanges

These are the Drawn Thread exchanges I received and sent from a private exchange through the Friends Though Threads blog:

This is the ornament I received from Gaby. She stitched me Too Tiny Too from the Drawn Thread Too Tiny Samplers. She put some lace around the outside edge of the ornament. Gaby did a wonderful job stitching and finishing this ornament. I just love it.

Gaby also sent these great "goodies": a pair of scissors, a great addition to my collection, some linen and two patterns--a German one and a French one.
Thank you again, Gaby. This was a great exchange.
And look what design I stitched for my Drawn Thread partner Suzanne!!!! I stitched the very same design I received from Gaby. I stitched mine over one and finished it into a pendant.

I also sent Suzanne a Drawn Thread pattern off her wish list with the fabric and threads, plus a laying tool my hubby made out of a sterling silver piece of flatware.
Another great exchange.

Whata coincidence that you stitched and received the same DT piece, lol. But it's so great to see the different finishes. I love both. Great exchange!
