I finally have a pic of the ornament I received from Joanne. The Exchange was organized by Sassy Mini Dolls. Thank you for a great Exchange.

Exchange Received!

This is the ornament that I sent to Laura in Spain. She has received it now and I can show it to you. The top pic is the front, 1 over 1 on 28ct evenweave. The design is from Russia, Aliola, called the Galloping Deer. The bottom pic is the back. I personalized it with our initials and the year. Edited 11-29-10.

This is the exchange that I sent to Joanne. She sent me a beeswax bear. I have yet to take a good photo of it. I am hoping that she will post a pic and I can steal it to post here.

Exchange Received!!!

Received this lovely item from Ohlala Broderie, Potel. Doesn't she do just perfect work. I am very happy with this exchange. You can't see it but the fabric is iridescent. This is the second of 4 exchanges that I am involved in this fall. I have sent out 2 and am working on the 3rd and 4th. I am waiting for my 1st partner to post pics so that I can put them on my blog. I still don't have a computer to put data on. The 1st was a beeswax bear with iridescent coloring on the front. Happy Fall !!!!!!

Exchange Received!!

I entered an exchange at The Sassy Mini Dolls and have received from my partner. JoAnne Balaz. You can see it on her site. I don't yet have the ability to put up pics. I will get JoAnne's out soon. I have 3 others going that are do between Nov 1 and Dec 1. I love this time of year as I meet lots of new people through exchanges.

Chart Wanted

Can anyone help me find or do you have a copy of Cross Eyed Cricket #140 "Keepsake". I have #141 Keepsakes II and would like to stitch the other 6 in the Brides Tree Ornaments. I would love any help you can give me. I am using a borrowed computer so I am not online as often as I would like to be. Send me and email. It is in my profile. Thank you to all in blog land.

COMPUTER CRASH !!!!

OMG, MY COMPUTER DIED!!!

I am borrowing a computer to get email and to try and keep up with my blog reader. I am not going to be posting any pics for a while. I am involved in 4 exchanges and have to get them done. I lost most of my patterns and my Gift Of Stitching Digital magazine copies. A friend is going to dump my hard drive but that won't be for a couple of weeks. Seems the mother board on my 10 year old computer decided to have a nervous break down. I am left with the Christmas patterns I have already printed off and some books of patterns that I have from years ago. Hope my partners aren't too picky. More later, gotta go.

Happy Dance!!!

This is a wedding banner I designed for my brother. The first pic shows the whole thing including the fringe. The second is a close-up, the third shows the beading on the top conch.

My brother is big into Native American things. I used a border from a pattern I got online. The bear is from a book of Native American charts.

A Great Cause!!!! A Quilt For Sue!!!

Click the photo to go to Lizzie's blog post. She is collecting orphan quilt blocks to make into a quilt for a friend who is treminally ill. Sue was a quilter before her illness made it impossible to continue. Let's all help Lizzie show her friend how much quilters love each other.

Wild Ride!!!

This past month has been really hectic. Youngest son is still off work and has now lost his job due to this accident. Lost his housing as well. Lawyers working on the problems but nothing good yet. I did have a really great surprise though. I won a giveaway on Ornaments. Orna Willis the designer made a needle case and I won it. It is made of Suede and has a piece of original Orna Willis canvas work on the front.
