Summer Quaker received by Nic W.

I just read on the HoE site that Nic W. has received her Summer Quaker from me. I stitched her a floss tag over one using an overdyed #12 perle cotton. The effect of using the perle was interesting. Nic says she likes it, and I'm very happy she does. These little floss tags are so much fun to do. Here's a photo of the entire exchange. One note, there's a one brownish stitch that causes the design to look a little askew. It's not a mistake and I should have redone that row. Sometimes I'm a lazy stitcher, what can I say. I also include some really summery looking spring clips, a LHN chart, some super strong magnets and three strands of DMC floss in colors you always need.

HoE Summer Quaker received

I had a nice surprise waiting on my doorstep yesterday. The postman delivered my HoE Summer Quaker exchange from Paula C. I absolutely love every stitch, the colors, and the teenie scissors and teenie fob. Teenies are a real favorite of mine. They are some of my most fun pieces to stitch and finish. Paula writes that the HoE SQ is her first tin finish. It it perfect! She did a fantastic job. Her stitching is exquisite also. She included some wonderful goodies also, a pen, magnetic notepad, post-its, and some "smell-um" from B&BW. Thank you so much, Paula. I love it all.
