LK Exchange and Stitching with friends...


First.....

Love the green fabric with those buttons!

I came home today to find my LK Exchange from April waiting in the mailbox.  It is a wonderful reminder that fall and Halloween will be here before we know it.  I don't have this design in my stash so I am so glad she stitched it for me.  The fabric is a pretty green and April chose her own threads, which I think she did perfectly.  Thanks for such a wonderful finish and exchange piece.

Second....

I spent the best day with some stitching friends today and this is the pic my camera took from inside my bag!  Too busy talking and stitching, I forgot to take a pic but I know you may find a few on some other blogs.  Amy hosted the stitchin and we had a great time!  Stitching were Nicole, Faye, Yvonne, Carolyn, Charlene, Judy, Donna, Carrie, Linda, Myra, Lynn, Deborah, Debbie, Kathy, June, and Susan, who traveled all the way from Knoxville!

It was fun making some new stitching friends and catching up with the old ones.  We had some giveaways and each got to choose a Trail Creek design, thanks to Amy, and a fabric fat quarter, thanks to Susan.

Well I am off to stitch some more!  Hope your weekend is going great and happy stitching....

F & S 4th of July Squares received....

April K. was my partner and I just love the design she chose. It is a freebie from SanMan and is so cute.

Better yet....she finished it for me since she had the perfect fabric. You doesn't love that....finishing is not my favorite thing! She said this was her pillow finish and she did a great job. It is ready to be added to my display in my office.

Here is the square I stitched for her......

Well....tonight is UFO night and I need to pull out SB Herb Gatherer. I haven't picked it up in a couple of weeks and need to at least make an effort. It's not one of favorite stitches and I don't know why I don't enjoy it since I love the design. Oh well.... time to go "make the doughnuts". Happy stitching ......
