lots of exchanges received

Hi all,

I have not managed to complete a single thing this week, even Valentine Rose which only needs a few dozen stitches more...I have been exceptionally scatterbrained, bouncing from one project to the next, with at least 4 or 5 projects in my travel bag. Nonetheless, I do have some pics of various exchanges received by my partners. Please note that all of these photos are my partners' pictures, since no matter how I try I can never remember to photograph anything before mailing it.

First are the pics from the Please Pass the Biscornu 2010 exchange: the one on the top was for Gillian and is a freebie from the Floss Box. The second was for Michelle and is another freebie from a French blog, both done with DMC.

Next up is from the Seasonal (Spring) Exchange. Becky K was my partner and since she likes primitive designers I stitched a Stacy Nash design from the Garden Gate needlebook/pinkeep leaflet, but finished it as a pillow/basket liner on (I think) Days Gone By evenweave by Silkweaver. I always worry exchanges are going to get lost in the mail and this one gave me fits--it took 2 weeks to go from California to Oklahoma. What the....? I could have walked there faster!

Last but not least is the BBD exchange sent to Ela in France--another one that took forever to arrive.

This is BBD's Bluebird pincushion done in Carrie's Creation Old Brick. I also sent one of my box finishes--the design was a freebie on the BBD site and was an adaptation of an old/antique sampler.

I was sad as this was going to be the last round of the BBD exchange but thankfully Patti, one of the participants, took it over so it will continue.
Thank you girls for letting me steal the photos. I am going to try to remember to get out my camera next time before I shove something in an envelope. Thank you all also for visiting and(hopefully) commenting. Until next time!
