Stitched With Love Spring/Easter Exchange

I recently participated in Lainey's Stitched with Love Spring Exchange and Shannon sent me a wonderful package of goodies. She sent me not one, but two hand stitched items for spring decorating.  Her finishing is perfect and the colors are so cheerful.  I also received lots of finishing items that I will put to good use.  Thank you so much Shannon.

Here is a pic of what I sent my partner Catherine.  I love putting these packages together and I received word from Catherine that she was happy with what she received.  That makes it all the more fun.

I stitched Blackbird Designs Wild Lilies on 32ct Autumn Bluch using a combination of GAST, Crescent Colours and DMC.  I also made some glass beaded pins to coordinated with her pin pillow.  This was a fun stitch and I really enjoyed it.  I am selling the pins sets in a variety of colors and beads if you are interested just shoot me an email and I can fill you in on the details.  Have a great day and Happy Stitching!

These exchanges seem so heartfelt! I love the idea of putting together something for a fellow stitcher - sounds like such fun!

The colours you used are simply beautiful something so classic about them.

Happy Stitching

This looks like a fun swap. I have not participated in something like that for some time. I have always loved Blackbird designs and the colors you used are lovely. I love the pin set you made.
