'Seasonal Exchange' Announcement


Here's a little project I completed stitching over the weekend. I used Monaco fabric and Weeks Dye Works floss.

Speaking of floss, have you noticed that WHITE DMC doesn't lay as well as colored flosses? I have. I've also noticed that specialty flosses stitch better. Hmm.

This blog is 'Seasons of My Mind' so I thought I'd host a 'Seasonal Exchange'. I'd like to exchange goodies with 4 partners, one partner for each season: Winter (December 2012), Spring (April 2013), Summer (August 2013), Fall (November 2013).  You will only be chosen for one season if your name is drawn.

Guidelines: One handmade craft and $15 worth of items from the person's wish list and/or areas of interest. Shipping costs not included. International exchanges considered if you think postal mail is reliable to/from your area.

If you'd be interested in exchanging with me, please EMAIL ME
  ruparanoid2 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Tell me if you want to exchange with me in a particular season or if you are open to any season.
I will draw one name for each season to choose who I exchange with and will email more information.
Deadline to be considered in this exchange will be November 7 November 4.

*You must be a follower here and have an active blog with a good exchange reputation. If you read here, you know I meet those guidelines ;-)

Hey Pars...sent you an email about the exchange and forwarded the info to five ladies from our last two exchanges. Hope you get a good turn out.

You can put me down for any season of your choice...any excuse to stitch and spend is good with me, LOL!

I love those designs! I think I stitched the apple. Yours is so cute. I haven't noticed the difference in stitching with those threads. I will have to pay more attention now.
I will pass on the exchange. I never know when I'm coming or going so I wouldn't want to commit and then let someone down.

Super cute doggie you stitched!! I find that too with the white DMC compared to hand dyed...not sure why that is though!! I would have to sit out on the exchanges...not sure what kind of time I have as I work so much!
