Most of my stitching during the past month has been for exchanges. The Stitcher's Day exchange at Friendly Stitchers is completed for me as I have sent and received.
My partner was Meari (Meari's Musings) and I stitched this scissor fob from The Sweetheart Tree as well as this hardanger matchbook needle case. I added Meari's initials and the year on one side of the fob. Unfortunately it was difficult to get decent photos of these, but at least I have a photographic record of them.

ReplyDeleteHi Mary!
ReplyDeleteI just bought that Thread Keeper chart. You're a lucky gal to receive it in the exchange.
I do love the fob you made me. If you'd like to snag a photo of the initials off my blog, feel free. Thank you, again!
Lovely gifts, Mary. And your fobs are perfect! Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous exchange gifts! Love them all, but especially the Hardanger matchbook needle-case!
