spring exchange

this a lovely fob I recieved from Linda in Oregon yesterday. With it she graceously included a LK flip-it with 4 overdied threads. The postcards made me want to hop a plane right then for the other side of the country. The next photo is the back side of the piece she sent me and a duplicate of the piece  I sent her. I did the fob off the DT treasure box and wasn't sure about the finish because of the little pocket on the piece so I did a trial one for me. Glad I did because I liked hers better. It was narrower and a little longer. Mine is a little on the fluffy , wide side. The exchange was hosted by the UK Friendly Stitchers group that I found on Mouses blog. http://www.talesofastitchingmouse.blogspot.com/
it has been a very inviting group. 5 more days left for the small, smalls give-a-way. Please sent your bloggland friends by to sign up. Off to work for me now. Just had to post the wonderful exchange piece. Isn't the internet wonderful for connecting all of us in  the crossstitch cult? (my husbands name for all of us)

  8. Huh I belong to that UK Friendly Stitchers group too. I had a bad experience with a bookmark exchange on there. I was put off by both my exchange partner and the organizer, so I don't visit that group anymore. I'm happy you had a lovely exchange! Hugs, Karen
