Two exchanges to share.....

I have two exchange pieces that have been received that I can now share! I have two more that are done, one hasn't arrived yet & one will be mailed Monday or Tuesday. I'll share those when I can.


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!

Amy - you did such a lovely job on that bourse for Su! I need to try to make one of these sometime soon.

Nice choice for the Fair and Square block too. This was a great idea that Vonna and Annemarie had.

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

The bourse is very pretty. Su must have been out of her mind with happiness!
