Fall Exchange Reveal!

Hello!  :)

First I'd like to say so sorry that I've been absent. I've had the worst cold ever. It just hit me and never seemed to let up. I'm finally feeling much better.  :)

While I was sick I got the okay to share what I sent and received in the Fall Cross Stitch Exchange I participated in, through the Stitched With Love Exchanges. If you'd like to view all the goodies that were exchanged you can view them here.

I'm so happy I finally get to show you what I sent my partner Jaime.

I sent her a fall pattern with the necessary floss, some needles, fall colored ribbon & buttons, a cute metal acorn and a beautiful fall colored towel. The pillow is a Country Cottage Design. It's actually the October Cottage of the month. I just changed it so it says "Autumn" instead of "October". I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Here's a close up . . .

and the back . . .

Here's the wonderful package of goodies I received from my partner CJ.

She stitched a beautiful fall piece for me. She also sent me a hand-made card, lots of patterns, a couple of kits, some floss, needles, fabric and beads. I was definitely spoiled!  :)  Thank you so much CJ! I love it all! Here's a close up of the fabulous piece she stitched for me . . .

She did a great job, didn't she?! The next exchange is the Christmas exchange. I've finished stitching the piece for my partner while I was sick. I haven't completed it yet though. I better get going on it as I have to mail it out by the 26th. That's only a little over a week away. That will be the last cross stitch exchange for the year. I'm looking forward to more stitching exchanges in 2013. I can't believe it's only a month and a half away. This year has definitely flown by. As a matter of fact where did the first half of November go??? I didn't get much done while I was sick and now I feel like I'm so far behind. Stay tuned for another post from me tomorrow (I know shocking huh?). I have more to share!  :)

Until next time . . .
