First I need to post the rest of the exchange I received from Brigitte. It was part of a private exchange and she had ordered this scissors and thread winder from Needlecraft corner. These two items were shipped separate from the package Brigitte sent. So they arrived about a week later than the original package. Both the scissor and thread winder are from Kelscott. I just love them both. The scissors was added to the fob Brigitte had stitched as part of the exchange. The rest of the exchange is posted in a previous entry. Thank you again Brigitte. 
This is what I sent to Brigitte as my exchange to her. I stitched Spring Line Up by Trilogy. I also made a vinyl project bag and chicken pin cushion and sent a Black Bird designs pattern, with fabric and fibers, some note cards, and finishing items. I really enjoyed this exchange.
I had posted earlier about this group stitching project that Jill and I had finished. Well one of the other gals in the group had her basket done and we took a pic of all three. It was quite a relief to get these baskets finished!!!!!
I finally got this sampler framed. It is called Americana by The Workbasket. I stitched this about two years ago. My DH made the frame for me. I also have Landscape, which is kind of a companion piece, stitched I just need to have my DH get the frame made and I will get it finished and hung up with this picture. 
My last picture is some fabric that Jill and I dyed this morning. Jill's fabric is the top row and mine are on the bottom. I will have to say we had a very productive morning of dying. Can't wait to stitch something on these fabrics. I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday weekend.

Joan, I'm glad that you liked what I stitched and ordered for you. For me it was a real fun exchange as well.
Those baskets are just wonderful. Stitching and particularly finishing such items together with others must be a lot of fun.
Oh, what great colours you used for your fabrics. I'm very curious to see what you will be stitching on them.
