Prairie Schooler Acorns & LK Thankful Sampler

I heard from Conny on the Seasonal Exchange blog  that she received the Fall exchange piece I made for her! I chose one of the designs in the PS Acorn book. I thought this one just screamed fall!!I stitched it on 32ct lambswool linen and used the dmc colors called for. I followed the instructions in the book for making the acorn pillow and surprised myself that it came out so well! LOL It was very hard letting this one go so now I need to make another one for me :) The fabric in the background is what I used for the back.
 I am so glad you loved it Conny! It was very fun to stitch and finish for you :)


I also heard from Michele who was my partner in the Lizzie Kate exchange that she received my exchange.
I stitched a part of Thankful Sampler for her. I used 28ct DMC linen and the sampler threads called for in the design. I didn't have the charm anymore so I added a pumpkin button by the fence.   The fabric in the background is what I used for the back.
 Michele- I am so glad you loved it! I really enjoyed stitching & finishing it for you :)



I wanted to mention that a few days ago a few of you received emails saying that there was a comment posted to my blog. That was my error and I quickly corrected it after I received a couple of emails. I am still trying to figure out how to do things on this blog. I completely misunderstood what they were asking for but now I know.
Sorry for any inconveinence or worry :) Thanks to those who let me know right away!


Thanks for all of your wonderful comments! I truly appreciate them and for you stopping by to visit!
Have a great weekend everyone!

I had already admired the PS acorn on Conny's blog, it's one of my favourite books by PS. And I also love the Harvest piece you stitched for Michele. Great exchanges!

Those are so cute!!! Just love the acorn pillow finish. Now...you just have to come to the Pals Fall Fling next year, stitch and finish that design again for the Autumn/Halloween exchange, and then let me choose it in the exchange! That is just to cute.

happy stitching....

I love this finish Lisa, you did a fab job on it. I too received one of those emails and was wondering how it could have happened, very strange indeed.
