lately...I guess someone had better get out the cattle prod since I have one more exchange and several gifts to churn out :) I did finish the gift for my BFF, a late-October baby who is also (no surprise) a huge fan of Halloween. This is BYOB by Glory Be, on 32-count linen from the depths of my stash basket using the recommended floss. My projects frequently don't turn out like I envision them but this time I was quite pleased with the finished product.
I managed to get my offering for the Seasonal Exchange in the mail and the same day received this adorable little pillow from Lynn. It is a Bent Creek design and Lynn stuffed it with crushed walnut shells. I love designs with birds, especially crows, and the fall fabric is beautiful. Thank you again Lynn!Some time ago I won a giveaway Natasha was having
on her blog to celebrate her 10th anniversary, and
she sent this beautiful little pin pillow--the pattern
was by Elizabeth's Designs, not sure of the name.
Her stitching is so tiny and delicate--thanks again Natasha!

Speaking of anniversaries, DD and I are both having birthdays this month--DD is entering the dreaded teens and I will be closer to 50 than I like :o So I think a giveaway will be in order for next time. Stay tuned!

Your finish is beautiful! I'm so jealous of people who can finish things into pillows and such. I haven't mastered it yet :(
Your goodies are very nice as well! Happy Birthday to you and your DD. Today is my mom's birthday....She's 52 years young :D
What beautiful exchanges you received! I really like the Elizabeth's Designs one. Very pretty. x
I love the gift you made for your friend! Nice exchange you got too, and Natasha's giveaway prize -- pretty! I hope you find your stitching mojo -- that seems to be going around lately.
Your Halloween finish is beautiful and both pieces you have received are very pretty.
I love the piece you did for your BFF. It is fantastic. Both your exchange and your winning piece are lovely.
