First, let me share with you an exchange piece that I received in the mail today from Dawn. This was for the Winter Wonderland exchange on the SBEBB. Our stitched design needed to include a snowman - as you can see, Dawn stitched this colorful snowman and finished it off into a bag! She did a great job finishing!
Second, here's a birthday gift that I sent out earlier this week to Jenn. Jenn was my assigned stitcher on the Stitching Bloggers Birthday group. The pinkeep is a Lizzie Kate design (one that I am particularly fond of; I've stitched it before!) I also sent Jenn the latest Britty Kitties chart (released at Nashville) along with a few other goodies.
Third, on the Friends Gather Board, I challenged my fellow stitchers to stich up one of the LHN/CC Thread Packs during the month of February. Last weekend I stitched up "Peace" (it's from the Scripture Thread Pack series). Not sure how I'm going to finish this one - I'm thinking maybe into a pillow.
Finally, I joined Myrna and Vonna in stitching Home of a Needleworker by LHN. This is my progress after one night of stitching (a long night!)
As soon as I finish up some other updates on the computer, I'm going to be reunited with my stitching chair and try to stitch up this month's Christmas ornament for the ornament SAL!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Cathy, beautiful gifts and exchanges! I love the fabric that you selected for the LK pinkeep; it sets off the colors so nicely.
I am working on Home of Needleworker right now, too, with the LHN group. Your progress is great!
Both exchanges are sweet! The LHN you finished made me gasp. I haven't seen that one stitched up. It's gorgeous! Great finish.
I am so glad you like the bag. I had fun stitching the little snowman. :)
Have a good weekend!
Those are some beautiful progresses Cathy - and the gifts from Dawn are so sweet too :-) I have the scripture series also, and am so impressed by how pretty they are stitched up!
Oh I got SO excited when I scrolled down on my Bloglines list and saw you'd updated!!!!
Your stitching (and that you've received) is lovely. I was just looking at the CHS chart last night while I was reorganizing my stash. I suspect I've joined the ranks of the SABLE club. LOL!
I love the Lizzie*Kate pinkeep - it's a sweet design :) The LHN piece is lovely too - congratulations on your finishes!
What a LOVELY pinkeep you made for Jenn!
I had forgotten I actally have this chart; you've inspired me to dig it up and stitch it myself!! Thank you!
Lovely exchanges and beautiful stitching, all around! I love the LHN piece you stitched. Have a great Sunday :)
Good to hear from you again. All the stitching you've done and received is just lovely :)
It's so fun to see several gals stitching Home of a Needleworker - I sure do enjoy seeing mine on the wall!s
Beautiful work, Cathy :)
I love the sowman fabric Dawn used on her bag :)
I love this LHN piece and great stitching.
Great work Cathy! Everything looks wonderful and so does your Christmas ornament!
Some great finishes and some great gifts, who could beat that.

That pinkeep is gorgeous!
WOW, is all I have to say about HoaNW...you got a lot done...I'm posting what I've gotten done today :)
Wonderful exchange stitching items! Lucky Jenn : ) Lucky you [from Dawn]. The LHN is fabulous.
I may have to buy Home of a Needleworker. Everytime I see it, I like it more & more
Enjoy your stitching chair.
You have been busy and I do especially love the L*K pinkeep you have done. I must check if I have that design in my stash!
Have a nice week your snowy scene looks very pretty :)
