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)

My gift for you @ Blackbird Designs

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.

And last but not least... Few years ago I stitched this piece from Dimensions. Was time for a frame. :)

Autumn Song - Blackbird Designs

I was part of Becky’s private Autumn Exchange and I just read the email Anne sent me…She told me the package arrived safe and she loves the needle book and thread holder tag I’ve made for her.

Autumn Song by Blackbird Designs caught my eye awhile ago… and this exchange was a great opportunity for me to stitch it. I decided to change the colors and I used Nina’s Threads and TGA.

I’ve got mail! :)

Look at this lovely BBD Pin Pillow. What a nice addition to my exchange collection.
Beautifully stitched and finished for me by Rosalie (no blog) as she had my name in Becky’s exchange. The pin pillow is stuffed with crushed walnuts. Thank you so much!

Have a great weekend,

Too many exchanges? lol

After I’ve signed up last year for my first exchange ever and I had so much fun, I decided that 2010 will be my Exchange Year. I’m going to sign up for as many exchanges I can handle and I’m sure that by Christmas I will have a nice variety of stitching pieces in my collection. Some of my friends said that I was bitten by the exchange bug too hard. Are they right?

In March, as part of the monthly biscornu exchange I’ve stitched for Mayte the Stitcher’s Favorite Biscornu by The Sweetheart Tree.

Designer: The Sweetheart Tree

Fabric: 32 Ct Platinum Belfast Linen

Thread: DMC and Weeks Dye Works

Beads and buttons from the Biscornu’s Embellishment Pack

For Lisa as part of our monthly exchange I’ve stitched the Stitcher’s Favorite Scissor Fob by The Sweetheart Tree.

Designer: The Sweetheart Tree

Fabric: 32 Ct Platinum Belfast Linen

Thread: DMC and Weeks Dye Works

Beads and buttons from the Fob’s Embellishment Pack

This is not all, dear friends! LOL
Becky hosted a Pin Pillow Exchange and I stitched for Ranae this Small Token from Blackbird Design after I’ve read on her profile that it’s one of her favorite designers. The funny part is that she stitched the same design for her partner. :)

Designer: Blackbird Designs
Fabric : 36 linen hand-dyed by Nina

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for you kind and lovely comments,

Pin Pillows

As part of a monthly exchange, I received from Lisa this adorable pin pillow. I love Paris and was a nice surprise that Lisa stitched for me Souvenir De France by Blackbird designs. I like her choice of color too. Thank you Lisa!

Because on she told me she likes The Prairie Schooler Designs I stitch for her this pin pillow. She wrote me that she likes it. This makes me very happy! :)
