The long pillow above is from my friend Lynn. We belong to a sorority that has secret sisters. Gifts are exchanged periodically during the year. Well, last night was reveal night, and the pillow was one of my gifts. She did a fantastic job of finishing it. I gave her the little Halloween pillow for taking care of my cat Tobie while I was on my trip to Chicago. Thank you Lynn, you know I love it.
This beauty was received yesterday as part of the Seasonal Exchange group.
Elisa was my partner, thanks so much I love it.. My photo doesn't do this piece justice. The color is more vibrant in real life. I really like the way she finished the pillow. The design is a Bent Creek piece, Autumn House. I'm gong to have to try this finish. When I saw the envelope in the mailbox I was a bit puzzled, because I thought I had received all my exchanges. Well, slap me silly, I totally had forgotten I signed up for this exchange. I pulled all the threads, selected the design and fabric before I left for Chicago. Guess I just forgot. Anyway, needless to say, I am stitching my piece for my partner! I believe I'll make the mailing deadline.
Guess I'd better get off the computer and get to stitching.

Hi Becky,
Is your needle smoking today?
I love the little Bent Creek pillow you received. I am sure you would do a geat blanket stitch. It is a fun way to give a more rustic look.
Happy stitching, my friend!
Whew ~ it's a good thing you remembered! Thank goodness for long deadlines!
Darling exchange and gifts. I especially like Bent Creek and Elisa did a lovely job with that one!
Seasonal Exchange group??? Had not heard of this group, how did that escape me? :D
Such nice pieces you received and what a nice little pillow for your friend.
Good luck meeting the deadline...drink lots of coffee and stitch, stitch, stitch.
Two very pretty exchange pieces. And I'M sure you'll meet the sending deadline.
Nice craft work. Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
