Prairie Schooler Exchange - Sent and Received

I never really was a big Prairie Schooler fan until I got involved with blogging. The stitching blogs introduced me to this fabulous designer and now I am hooked.

The Hooked on Exchanging blog had a Prairie Schooler exchange this fall. I was fortunate to receive from Sharon M (Cross Stitch Happy). I've come to know Sharon in the past few months. She is a very generous stitcher, often posting free charts on her blog. She's also a great finisher! She stitched this great PS Autumn design for me and finished it as a flat fold! (I'm going to study her finishing; I've finished this way before, but I like her version much better!) Then she spoiled me with lots of goodies including a chart from my wishlist. Thanks so much Sharon!



I had the pleasure of stitching for Mercy! I had always wanted to stitch this PS design and decided now was the time. I finished it as a little pin pillow with tassels in each corner. It turned out quite cute (if I may say so myself!)




So sad to learn of the passing of actor Paul Newman.

Thanks for stopping by - have a nice weekend!

I've started seeing finished with the four tassels! I'm going to have to try that! Do you make your own? I can never get mine to turn out right! Can you offer any help?
