Paula also sent a cute red scissor, a matching beaded scissor fob and beaded needle threader, a piece of fabric, some pins, a sample of udder cream and red, white and blue floss. This was a fabulous exchange, I am thrilled with it all. Thanks Paula.

I also received my Thanksgiving Fair and Squares from Mary Kathryn. They are also wonderful and I think they will make a very cute pin keep. Thank you Mary Kathryn.

Autumn Fair and Square and Halloween Finish

I received my Autumn Squares today from Karen D. I think I will be finishing them into a pin keep. They are very cute. Thank you Karen

Then I finished my Halloween Squares this weekend. The squares are from Margit. I wanted them done by Halloween. I think they turned out quite cute.

Here's the back of my Halloween square.

Just a reminder that there are 10 days left before my blogoversary drawing, make sure to leave a comment on the October 12 posting and Good Luck.

Autumn House from Eva

I received this lovely Autumn House exchange from Eva last week. She stitched a Prairie Schooler and made a very cute thread holder.

As you can see she stitched on both sides and even stitched the word Autumn on the hanger.

Eva also sent my a fiber and some mints. She had my thread holder wrapped so cute in the brown paper with my name on it. Thank you Eva for this wonderful exchange.

Private Exchange from Margit

I received a great package from Margit yesterday when I got home from work. Margit and I were partners for the Halloween Fair and Square and since then we have become good blog/email/stitching friends. We hit it off from the start and decided that we would keep having personal exchanges. So this was our Autumn Exchange. Margit stitched this cute pumpkin from her favorite German designer--Stickspatz. Plus she stitched me a floss tag and sent some Au Ver a Soie fibers called Picasso. I have a great finish idea in my head for this exchange, now lets see if I can pull it off. I will post it when it is finished. Thanks again Margit for this wonderful exchange.

Exchanges received from me

I stitched this Drawn Thread pattern--Too Tiny Sampler for Amy V. It was for the HoE Mattress Pincushion Exchange. I have been wanting to stitch this pattern for sometime. I may have to stitch it again for myself.

These were the goodies I sent with the exchange. My daughter-in -law painted the cute needle case and I made the project bag, chicken pincushion, and the pillow.

This Shepherd's Bush Halloween bag was stitched for Nancy for the Legacy Halloween Sweet bag Exchange.

I also included some goodies. Candy of course for the Sweet bag and then a scissors, project bag, chicken pincushion, needle case, note pad and monster pen.
I really had fun putting these exchanges together.

Don't forget to post a comment on the October 12 post for my blogoversary drawing.

A Trip to the LNS

Since all but one of my stitching croonies could not make it to the weekly stitching night, Jackie and I made an unexpected trip to the LNS last night. I don't usually post what I buy but I was very excited to see that the new LHN pattern From Sea to Shining Sea was available. I naturally had to have it. I can't wait to get the chance to start stitching on it!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend. Happy Stitching:)

Halloween Sweet Bag Exchange

I joined the Halloween Sweet Bag exchange on the Legacy Board and today I received my bag.

I received this bag from Kathy C. I believe the design is a Prairie Schooler. She made a great bag and it was full of goodies.

Kathy included a zip-a-long spider, a halloweenie beanie-scarem, a monster pen, Halloween socks, some halloween wooden stickers and a treat bag full of candy. It was a great exchange. I LOVE it!!! Thank you Kathy. Oopps I forgot to mention a little halloween pumpkin/kitty ornament.
