SBEBB Halloween Exchange sent to Wendy

I had an email from Wendy when I got home from MB that she had received the SBEBB Halloween Exchange, but I haven't had time to post a pic in my blog until now, so here you go (no pic of the extras, sorry!)! The design is by Heart & Hand. I stitched it on linen banding & finished as a "mini" tie one on pillow. I love the way it turned out and hope that Wendy will enjoy it! Thanks for looking & have a great Sunday!!!

Honey, I'm home.....

Oh wait, I didn't tell you I was leaving did I? Sorry, I didn't have time to make a post. I spent last week in Myrtle Beach at the Pals Fall Fling & had a WONDERFUL time. There were 3 great classes by Mary of M Designs, lots of friends, chatting, fun, shopping, eating & laughing... all of that on top of the stitching. Mary taught a quick Punchneedle class late Thursday night & though it will never take the place of stitching for me, it was fun and I hope to have a finished bunny fob one of these days! ;-) I did learn that I'm getting too old to stay up until after 3 a.m. & get back up & moving around 7. I also learned that you really can eat ice cream even if you are full.... more than one day in a row too! ;-)

Here is the group pic.... I have lots more to share & will blog again soon. Happy stitching!!

A WONDERFUL Trade with Stephanie....

Stephanie wanted one of the items from my sale/trade list that I posted on my blog last month & this is what she sent me in return, along with a couple of wonderful freebie patterns! I love both of these patterns!!! I have been wanting to stitch the C Mon Monde pattern since the first time I saw it & now I can!!! I also LOVE the other design too & hope to stitch one of them right away. Thank you so much Stephanie!! You sent way too much but I sure do appreciate it!! btw, I hope you recieved my email on Tuesday? It bounced back a couple of times but it finally went through, so I hope it got there okay. Thank you again for such a wonderful package & sorry it took me a few days to get it posted. Seems like there aren't enough hours in the day lately!!! Hugs to you! :-)

SBEBB Halloween Exchange from Valerie....

LOOK how cute these are! Valerie was so generous that she stitched not one but two ADORABLE pieces for me for Halloween! Don't you just love them!!! She is one talented stitcher... I'm just amazed with them both! See all the details? I took pics all the way around the "house" so you could see how much detail went into this! It's SO cute as is the little candy bag!!! I'm thrilled, can you tell!?!?! ;-) Thank you so much Valerie!!!! **I did send you an email, I hope you received it?

WOW!! L@@K at all my mail!!!!

I'm totally overwhelmed & happy (THRILLED!) to recieve so many gorgeous stitched gifts & extra goodies from these wonderful ladies!!! Thank you all so much, you really brightened my day & started October off right for me!

I received this beautiful Needlebook from Heather in the USEBB Autumn Quaker Exchange. Isn't it lovely??? She used a lovely Needle Necessites floss (I think it might be Salsa?) and I just love it! The design is great (I love birds and quakers) and the colors are gorgeous! And of course she made a beautiful needlebook and look at all the extra goodies! I'm just so thrilled Heather, thank you so much!!!

Next we have the lovely SBEBB Grateful Hearts exchage from Leena! This tiny pincushion is just gorgeous... it's red, it's a heart & it's just beautiful, and you just can't get much better than that!!!! And it is rather "tiny", only approx. 3" square, but oh so much beauty packed into such a tiny area!! I love & it all of the other wonder goodies you sent Leena, thank you so much!

Last but certainly not least is the Redwork Exchange piece from Nicki! I LOVE red and look at all of these beautiful RED gifts from Nicki!!! Isn't it wonderful? The best of all is this beautiful Quaker Heart she stitched for me, front & back! She even added the N & the A on the back! Thank you Nicki, it's beautiful as are the goodies you sent along with it! I will find something special to stitch on that gorgeous red fabric!

As everyone can see, I've been totally spoiled by these 3 wonderful ladies with these fantastic exchanges! Thank you all again & I LOVE each & every one of these gifts!! Redwork, hearts & Quakers are honestly some of my very fav things & I'm just so thrilled with each & every one of these lovely gifts.... I just don't know what else to say.... :-) :-) :-)
