HoE Blackbird Designs Exchange for Lisa S.

Lisa e-mailed me to say she had received her exchange piece for the HoE Blackbird Designs ornament round.  She says she likes it and I'm happy that she does.  I chose House on Holly Hill from the book Peppermint and Holly.  It's stitched on 28ct Vintage Smoky White Cashel.  I used a combination of WDW and DMC threads. I am pleased with how it turned out.  So, here it is....

Prairie Schooler Exchange received

Goodness gracious, it has been a long time.  Along the way I lost all my desire to stitch.  When the HoE Prairie Schooler exchange came along, I caved and joined.  My partner has not received her exchange yet, but I can show you what I received from Lisa S. The design is taken from the leaflet Acorns, stitched on 28ct antique white evenweave using DMC threads.  I love it because the finishing is so unique.  Thank you Lisa, I can't wait until fall!

HoE Exchanges from Gwen



Gwen had me as her stitching partner for both the HoE Christmas Ornament Exchange and the HoE Christmas Smalls Exchange.  She said she didn't mind stitching for me because she had a theme she could follow.  She captured my love of reindeer perfectly, didn't she?  Thank you so much Gwen, I love them.  Loved them so much that I immediately displayed them in the house and forgot I needed to post to the HoE blog! 

I've been busy stitching little ornies for my great-nieces and nephew.  Whee, I hope I get them finished! 

Time to get my day started.
