Friendhip Pin Pillow

A couple months ago when one of my stitching buds asked about resurrecting the Friends Through Threads exchange blog, I turned over the reins to her and told her to go for it. It's been a long time since I have participated in any exchanges and I got really "comfortable" with not having to stitch around deadlines. When asked if I wanted to participate in the Red Exchange, I said "sure" and wondered if I would enjoy the process again.

I'm glad I did it...it took me a long time to figure out what to stitch. I perused through my patterns, but nothing seemed quite right. And then one day, I happened to see a post on the Heartstring Samplery blog and immediately thought "that's it!" I ordered up the pattern right away and got busy stitching (I've always been known to do better under pressure anyway!) With only a day or two to spare, I mailed off my package.

Hazel received my package yesterday and I'm glad that she likes it. I enjoyed stitching this little pillow for her. I really like the design and think that there will probably be more of these in my future!
