Made for Exchange

Friendly Stitchers had a biscornu exchange over the summer.  This is what I sent to Jo a couple of weeks ago.  It started off as a Faby Reilly design and then I did a lot of changes on it.  Jo says she likes it and the goodies I included with.  Yay, success!

Seams to Me...

In the Seamwork Only round robin, this is my first block to work on.  It's Jeanne's.  She used really bright colors.  The top picture is it at the beginning.

And here it is after I got done with it.  I never realized how much I use beads until I couldn't!  She requested no beads.  I did use a bit of ribbon and made the block even brighter.

Last of the Alphabetting

I'm almost done with the alphabet for this sampler.  Can you tell the other missing letter?  Once I'm done with the letters, it's a half band at the bottom and another finished project.

A Birthday Present

One of our friends had her birthday a couple of weeks ago.  She didn't tell us until a couple of days beforehand though!  So, since I'd already stitched up this quaker sampler, I made it into a pillow for her.  I'm glad to say she loves it.  Unfortunately, though, she and her husband will be leaving next week. 

Starting the Fun

I got to start the fun stuff this week.  Yay!  It's good to be able to actually not be making lines and lines.

Planting and Walling

A bit more done on this; at least one more column.  I also got a bit of the upper story's stonework done and even a bit of roof.

More Buildings and Flowers

Three quarters of the flowers on part four are done and I'm working on the fourth quarter.  I also got some more building work done.  The first part of part five is coming along nicely.
