Here is the lovely exchange gift I received from Lucy this morning, a sweet alphabet pillow with my name on it and some pink heart shape sticky notes and Winnie the Pooh pen set…it will certainly be put to good use as a pincushion in my workbox…thanks so much Lucy.

Last week of the exchange

you need to be thinking about posting your items soon for them to arrive on time...

any problems let me know.

Thank you Chris!

I have just opened the envelope that arrived today to find the most wonderful exchange present inside. Well, this is my first ever exchange received, but I am sure it is the most beautiful one. Chris sent me a gorgeous needlecase with a La-d-da design. Not only the stitching is beautiful but the fabric she used for the back and inner parts. She toughtfully included needles as well. For sure it will always be with me!

Also, she sent me a Lizzie Kate design called Chocolate Lovers. Lizzie Kate is one of my favourites but this is my first ever design from them!

And if it would not be enough, she sent me some threads of beautiful colours.

Thank you Chris, you made me very very happy!

Thank you Edit

I was a bit curious when my husband said there was a package from Spain, I couldn't think who,what or where...

I was just so pleased to open it and find some wonderful gifts from Edit.

A most beautiful cushion with lovely design, and a little bag which has my initials on, that had some Lollies in for my children and a fab Hungary fridge magnet( I collect these :0D ) and a lovely scissor fob, but that's not all some Spanish sweets which are yummy!! lol

I love how you did the little flower label ,a great added touch.

Thank you Edit, they are beautifully stitched and finished, For a first exchange it is just all wonderful. Thank you so much you have made my day!

Alphabet swap

My package went in the mail today. It will take about 7-10 days to get to it's recipient.

Alphabet exchange

Hello from Australia

Hello everyone, my name is Lisa and I am lucky enough to join you all on this exchange blog.
I live in Perth, Western Australia with my husband and 5 year old son. My family emigrated here when I was 9 from the UK, I was born in Manchester.
I have been stitching for around 19 years when I was taught by a high school friend of mine, and as an adult I carried it on, learning some quilting and long stitch along the way, however my true love is cross stitch. I love exchanges since discovering the blog world out there. If you wish to visit my blog , please do, I love having new people coming to visit and leaving comments.
I look forward to many happy exchanges with your group, and thanks for having me.
Happy Stitching
LISA

exchange sign up--**SUMMER TIME**

ok the next exchange open for sign up is themed SUMMER TIME.

so it could be a sampler for summer, with the word summer or about summer, it could be about holidays, the beach, the summer garden,
it could be a hand stitched postcard...............get your thinking caps on and see what you come up with!

you have until the end of june to sign up and until the end of july for your piece to be received, so if you sign up and start stitching now you could have a ful two months to work on it.

you can finish your piece off however you like.

any questions?
