Hoe Fall Needleroll for April

I heard from April that she received the HoE Fall Needleroll. The design is from Sekas & Company. The fibers are the ones called for except the Needle Neccessities. DMC 4130 was substituted. I received a needleroll just like it from Bridgette in an earlier exchange. I loved it, had the pattern and so... The instructions for making this needleroll were some of the best I have ever followed. I plan to use them from now on when I make needlerolls.

Lots of football and stitching on my agenda for the weekend. I've already let my Mom know she may not see me Saturday. Enjoy yours.

FTT Love of Needlework from Suzanne

Suzanne was my stitching partner in the Friends Through Threads Love of Needlework exchange. We were to stitch a needlebook. Didn't Suzanne do a wonderful job? I absolutely love it. I should have no trouble keeping track of my needles now. She said in her note that she was not able to get to her LNS, but I think her exchange and goodies are great. Thank you so much. I will think of you whenever I reach for a new needle.

My partner has not received her exchange from me as of this writing. It did have quite a distance to go, and I was a bit lazy about getting it into the mail. I will post photos of the exchange when I receive word she has the exchange.

I also finished the HoE Fall Needleroll exchange. The USPS delivery confirmation says my partner has received it, but so far she hasn't acknowledged it. I will post the photo of it in a few days, whether I receive confirmation or not.

We had birthday potluck at church tonight. One of the ladies made a terrific cornbread casserole. It's one of my favorite potluck dishes.

I've finished the stitching on my friends birthday gift but have not finish, finished it. It was a fun project. Soon as it's in the mail I'll post the photos. Right now I'm stitching on the HoE Halloween exchange piece. I love Halloween designs, guess it's because so many of them have purple, orange and black in them!

That's it for now. Enjoy your evening. We have rain showers so it's perfect stitching weather.

Going away

My friend Karen, no blog, is moving back to Kansas to be near her family. She asked for a stitched piece with "In God We Trust" on it. So, here's what I chose to stitch for her, front and back. Karen is the friend who crocheted my beautiful afghan I blogged about earlier. I will miss Karen very much. We go to the same church, and she calls to check on me!

HoE By the Sea for Caroline

I heard from Caroline that she received my HoE By The Sea exchange. I chose to stitch a part of the July leaflet. Caroline said she liked it and I'm glad. It was a fun exchange to stitch and put together. I used the ole button on the back as a hanger. This method is really cool!

Enjoy the long weekend! Go Oklahoma State!
