Christmas Gifts Between Friends exchange from Rosalie

The postman was really nice today. He delivered an exchange package from Rosalie. She stitched a Little House Needleworks design and included a chart, Rudolph, from Nora Corbett. Also included in the exchange were all the floss colors to stitch the chart, a beauty of a scissor fob, and a cute, cute, reindeer note pad. Thank you so much, Rosalie, I love it all. BTW, this is the second exchange I have received from Rosalie this year. Both pieces are beautifully stitched and finished.

Exchange received by Edgar

I heard from Edgar that he received my Christmas Gifts Between Friends exchange package. Here's the entire exchange. Edgar is such fun to stitch for because he likes alot of the designers I like. The ornament is from The Prairie Schooler's "Santas and Snowmen." I used DMC fibers and 28ct opalescent fabric. I like how it turned out real well. Also included in the exchange package were two charts from his wish list, two packages of his favorite John James petites needles, some

Christmas fabric and a small easel I got from Anita's Little Stitches. Below is a close-up of the ornament.

On another note, my friend Lynn and I traveled down to southern Oklahoma to visit our friend Mary Ann. As usual we had a fantastic time talking cross-stitch, eating, drinking coffee, and shopping in Mary's gift store. The van was filled to the brim with just enough room for Lynn and I. Did I mention we shopped? Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
