February ornament exchange.....

Motif from Jardin Prive "Christmas"
32ct dark red linen w/DMC
Mine  ........&.......  Yours

Happy 25th!  Yes it's that time again. 
I had this great red linen I've been wanted
to use and decided to stitch another motif
from the Jardin Prive Christmas design. 
Love it!  
I will say this was a close one and one
of the exchangers was about to be
disappointed (....that would be me!) 
I miscalculated the amount of fabric
needed and it was a close cut when finished
but I was able to piece it together. 
So mine is a little smaller but it is done!
Just love it! 

This month's lucky
exchange partner is........

Jackie

Hope she likes it as much as I do! 
If you want to be my next exchange partner, 
you just have to be a follower!

I did start the traveling pattern that Daffycat
started and hope to finish it up this weekend
so visit back if you want to be the next
lucky stitcher!

I also got a nice surprise in the mail from Maggee 
and will share that with you this weekend! 
I do get to spend Saturday with some stitching
buddies so hopefully I will actually get
some stitching done!

Have a great weekend.....happy stitches!
