Exchange from Sarah....


It's been a good mail week.....


I received my exchange from Sarah (no blog)  for the Seasonal Exchange and it is lovely.  It is a nice spring design stitched on a very pretty pink fabric.  Thanks Sarah for such a wonderful exchange.

A couple of weeks ago Lee shared this wonderful strawberry finish from Manka, who was nice enough to share it with me. 


It is her own design of Hungarian
 motifs and her finishing is perfect.  I hope
to stitch this a few more times and hone
my strawberry finishing skills.  
(Yes....I finished this one upside down!) 
But it still works.  
Manka has some beautiful freebies as well
finishes.  If you haven't already discovered
her blog, you won't be disappointed
if you check it out.

Hope all of you have a nice Mother's Day and happy stitching weekend....

    That's a lovely pink bunny ornie. Your strawberry is very nice! I've been tempted to try those, but haven't yet. One of these days! Hope you have a great weekend - looks to be a nice one.

    The pink bunny ornament is really sweet!
    Your strawberry looks fantastic! I wouldn't have known it was upside down. I'd love to have a go at one of these.

    What a lovely exchange for you to receive, the colour pink is soooo pretty and of course I just love the white bunnies.
    Your strawberry creation is gorgeous, good enough to eat and very very clever of you.
    Enjoy your week xxx

    Lovely things Karen - that pink & white egg is just too cute (I love pink of course...). I too need to do some strawberries, have admired them on blogs for some time but never tried one.
