STITCHY GOODNESS
I've participated in a couple of stitchy exchanges over the summer and into fall. First up is a Christmas ornament exchange. Both my partner and I decided to stitch and send early. Since Karen said her ornament didn't have to be Christmas themed, I did something a little different. Here's what I stitched for Karen V in MA:
The front was stitched with SSS Plum Parfait. The back is the same linen with Karen's name, my name, and the year stitched in DMC 793 as well as 3 tiny snowflake buttons. I made the cording with DMC 157 and 793 along with a bit of SSS.
She messaged me how much she liked it and said she was going to find a place for it and leave it out year round. It always makes me happy when I know the recipient likes what I sent.
This is what I received from Karen. Aren't they so so CUTE?!
I finished this cute needleslide. It's stitched over-one on 32ct fabric. Can you say adorbs?!
The needles are placed in a piece of felt on the backside and the whole thing is held in the tin by a very strong tiny magnet.
HUMOR
I'm going to leave you with a bit of stitchy humor and truth:
Until next time...

Beautiful stitching Meari, and wonderful exchanges! Love the cartoon and oh so true!
ReplyDeleteNice Stitching and Finishing on your exchange..Your needle slide is so cute..I Love it..Loved the cartoon too..
ReplyDeleteWhat darling ornaments both you and Karen stitched! And a wonderful idea for the needleslide. I have a tin similar to that - now I know what to use it for! Also - great cartoon. I think we can all relate to that!

Meari, you've been busy! You're ornament is lovely, and finished beautifully, as usual. Karen's gifts are so cute, love the postcard to Santa! That needle slide project has been on my wish list for years, but I found the over one on 32 ct a wee bit daunting. Yours is absolutely lovely!
