The first is from the Fair & Square exchange & was sent to Annemarie. I stitched the alphabet design from Prairie Schooler's From The Heart leaflet and changed the colors to blue/red hand-dyes from GAST, which I am pretty sure Annemarie said were her fav colors (at least I'm sure on the blue!). She has received them now & says she likes it, so I'm glad I it... as I almost changed my mind! ;-) I can't wait to see how you finish your squares Annemarie!!
In the SBEBB Summer Quaker exchange I had Su's name, who does beautiful work. I had no idea of what to stitch or send, and I finally decided on a design from Cherished Stitches "A Book Of Ornaments". It's stitched on Antique White with Crescent Colours Soie Bella Sister Scarlet & I decided to finish it as a Bourse. I like how it turned out & I hope Su does as well! Here are pics of it opened & closed...
Thanks for looking &
Happy stitching!

Yep, I do love my squares, Amy! You were right: blues AND reds are my favourites.
