Exchange Pieces I Sent

Now that all my partners have received their exchanges from me I can post pictures of them :)

My partner for the Seasonal Exchange was Heather.  I stitched "Summer" which is a free design by The Stitcherhood for her and made it into a pillow.  I have to say usually I stitch something then try to find a backing fabric to go with it. This time I had the Dolphin  fabric and looked for a design I thought went with it ;) I changed the colors to coordinate with the colors in the backing fabric. I stitched this on 28ct evenweave using DMC. I also had a hard time finding the perfect ribbon to go with it.  I was lucky enough to find a green & turquoise ribbon that were very close to the DMC colors I used. I then decided to see what they looked like braided together and they worked!

The next exchange was for the Lizzie Kate Exchange Group and my partner was Karen D  . I chose to stitch Woof  Blocks by LK for Karen after reading her blog and seeing she had dogs :) I used 28ct  Antique white evenweave and the DMC colors called for.  I really had fun stitching this one up for Karen :)

And last but certainly not least is the exchange I stitched for the HOE Group . My partner was Janet and the theme for this exchange was "For The Birds" I chose to stitch Hummingbirds from the Prairie Schooler  Book #24 Prairie Birds. I don't remember off hand what count of fabric I used. I probably should write this stuff down somewhere lol I did use the DMC threads called for...that I remember !

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I appreciate all of your wonderful comments!
