Exchange received from BeckySC!

I received the most wonderful exchange from Becky this week. She is so creative! She lined a wooden box inside and stitched a cute bunny picture from Homespun Elegance which she mounted perfectly on the lid. It is just perfection! She also treated me to several stitching accessories you can see in the pictures - a needle threader, needle holder, chatelaine with scissor holder, embroidery scissors, and a thread cutter. And no, it doesn't stop there! I also received a cute journal and a new kit from Sweetheart Tree called "B is for Bunny". This exchange was all about creatures and the recipient could choose what they wanted. Bunnies have always been a favorite of mine, I have bunnies I've collected around my house so this is perfect for me. I also love boxes and have them all over my sewing room. I think I will be storing my collection of Gingher embroidery scissors in this beautiful box. Thank you Becky! You really made my day. Below are some photographs I took this morning outside - I actually had to darken them a bit as the sun is so bright today.








I will be posting a picture of what I stitched for my exchange partner after she receives it. It had to travel a ways so probably not until the end of the week at least. This is my first exchange with SBEBB and I am really enjoying it. It was so much fun to come home to presents!

I have not posted any progress on my projects lately , hope to get some stitching time in tomorrow. I have joined an SAL for Prairie Schooler ornaments and must go through my linen stash this weekend and get set up for that. This should be fun. Visit or join our SAL on the Prairie School Wreath SAL!

  6. Oh Jeanne I'm so jealous of your bunny box! That's so perfect. I too love all things bunnies. I have the B is for Bunnies, got it last year for my birthday and pick it up and stitch on it from time to time. Should get it finished since it's a cute little piece. Enjoy your goodies!
