Goodies To & Fro...

**** Edited:   OOPS.....I just don't know my fairy tales*****

I participated in a couple of spring exchanges and I can now share the goodies....

I received word from Sarah (no blog) that

she received her package for the

Spring Seasonal Exchange.

Homespun Elegance  "Summertime Home"

from Welcomes 'A Plenty V

28ct w/recommended fibers

Homespun Elegance is one of my favorite
designers and I think these designs are timeless. 
Although this is a spring exchange, I thought
the colors in this one would suit Sarah better. 
I coffee-dyed the chenille for the trim

and just love how it turned out.

This cutie was waited in my mailbox from Melissa....

LK "Hello Spring" freebie

She was my partner for the Lizzie Kate Exchange and I just love what she stitched.  The pin cushion is very small with the design being stitched over one.   Precious just comes to mind for me each time I look at it.   Thanks Melissa for such a cute exchange.

Thanks Yvonne for seeing the error of my ways.

It amazes me how some stitching projects feel

like Little Red Riding Hood Goldilocks (thanks Yvonne).  You know...Little Red Riding Hood Goldilocks has to
try several porridges and beds to find just the right one. 

Well, it has been like that with my

Challenge pieces.    I decided to pick up

BBD "Berry Time", which is one of my favorites, but I found myself dreading stitching it so I tried a few more until I found the one that was

"just right".  That would be Primitive Needle's

"Dampy Sod".   This is my first design from

Lisa and I know I am going to enjoy

each stitch in this one. 
Well...that's enough about that. 

Thanks for visiting and happy stitching....

LK Round B to Melissa.....

I can't believe I have another post...three days
in a row is a record for me. 

I heard from Melissa that she has received

her Lizzie Kate exchange. 

LK "Bloom" freebie

25ct over one w/recommended fibers

This design is so simple but I just love it and decided to use it to adorn a scissor pocket. 

I love the bright colors of the pink, orange

and violet and thought they were perfect

for a springy piece. 

Unfortunately for Melissa, I decided to

try something new for me and "practiced"

on her exchange. 

(Amazing how something can be so clear in your

mind but not quite translate into reality.) 

Overall, though, I am happy with the finishing

and see a few more of these in my future.

Pink & orange...a yummy combo!

I found the fabric at Joann's and think it

lends itself quite nicely for the Lizzie Kate

design.  I can see many more LK designs

paired with this fabric.   

Of course, I had to include a pair of scissors with a

coordinating scissor fob.....I'm sure it is bad luck

to send an empty scissor pocket!   This was a fun

exchange and I am glad Melissa liked it.

Thanks for visiting and happy stitching...
I may just be back tomorrow!
