Do you remember me?

Happy spring everybody!  Thank you for visiting my blog and sending me comments and emails even though I was MIA for a while.
I have some things to share with you… I will start with my last year’s exchange with Sara (you can visit her blog HERE).

From Sara I received this beautiful Atalie Heart, a cute bag filled with buttons and lots of extras (fabrics, linen, ribbons, lovely traditional Romanian gifts and a pretty frame that I’ve used to frame my Strawberry House – you can see it HERE)

I made for her a needlebook and a little pilow. I've added few extras too... Pictures are from Sara's blog (she is a wonderful photographer)

I love Marjolein Bastin's art and fro my fruit themed kitchen I've stitched Summer Fruits. Framed it at my local Michael's store.

What beautiful pieces you have stitched! I especially love the MB design. I am stitching one of her English garden samplers and enjoying every minute of it.
