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!

Great mail from Jackie and Teresa....

LK "Work Pray Trust"

Jackie recently had a giveaway on her blog and I was the lucky winner.   She stitched this great LK piece and I am so excited to be the recipient.  Her finishing is great and I love the beaded detailat the end.  With the stitched piece she also gave away a copy of Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life and a book light.  I've had this book on my list for a long time and know that now if the time to read it.  If you haven't visited Jackie's blog, please do so...she has some great finishes.  Thanks again Jackie.....

I recently admired Teresa's finish of Jarin Prive's "Christmas" and she was so sweet to send it to me!  How sweet is that!  I love the motifs and can see several Christmas ornaments waiting to be stitched.  I really appreciate her kindness and will definitely pay my good fortune forward once I am finished stitching it.  Thanks again Teresa.....

   I appreciate all of the nice things you said by my LK finish and am awfully proud of it.  Having other stitchers appreciate it makes my heart smile so a big thanks for visiting!

Well...I'm off to finish some exchange stitching and gear up for another work week!  Hope you have a great week .....

happy stitching.
