Spring Exchange

A small group of eight of us decided to exchange each season of this year. We're sending Spring gifts now, and mine arrived yesterday from Monika in Germany. (You saw the biscornu that I sent to her in my previous post.)

As you can see, Moni stitched up one of the Workbasket monthly designs (I think this might be May?) It's stitched with soft colors and is finished into a beautiful little pillow.

In addition, Moni sent this little pocket which was filled with thread and buttons and things. The edging is hand crocheted -- did you crochet the edging Moni? The button used to close the pocket is really pretty.

Here's the entire exchange - some lovely linens, a pattern, spring stickers, etc. - many wonderful things. Thank you Monika for this great exchange!

Here's another WIP that I finished last week. I started this project earlier in the year and then got busy with other things. I'm slowly working through my WIPs and UFOs.

Goode Huswife - Three Crows
32 count Sand linen
DMC fibers

And this UFO was started about two or three years ago. I didn't finish it because I'm not particularly fond of stitching over one! But this was a small project and I knew I could do it! I still have to add the beads and then of course, do the finishing!

Well, that's it for me today. Stitching on an ornament for an exchange tonight! To all the mother's out there -- Happy Mother's Day!
