Stitchy Exchange FUN!

Yesterday the mail carrier brought me TWO packages. The first was from Angela. We exchanged Valentines. She sent me this LOVELY red biscornu. I've never had or made one and am really impressed with her work. THANK YOU, ANGELA!

And here is the Valentine I sent her. I had to borrow her picture because I forgot to take one before I mailed it to her. This could be hung on a door knob for Valentine decoration or used as a pin cushion.

I loved using buttons for her Valentine.

I also got my early Spring exchange from Gaynor. I was floored by her generous gifts. She is currently making items to earn funds for cancer research and I was lucky enough to see her work first hand. I highly recommend her crafts. Very nicely made and so special.
Charts from my wish list, flosses, fabric, linen, candy, and...

This lovely spring quilted mat. I'm using it as a table runner.

Under the floss you'll see a fabric tote she made.

My little owl now named 'Lucky'. So sweet.

Wow, Gaynor. I love EVERYTHING. I can't stop smiling. THANK YOU!

Exchanges are a lot of fun but more than anything, it is a fun way to connect with a new friend in a special way. I sure am a lucky gal to have great blog friends. Be sure to click on their names to visit their blogs.

Thanks again ladies.

Everything here is so beautiful, and I just love your little owl!! But I have never heard the word BISCORNU, though having said that, whatever it is it is so pretty, I love both color and pattern.
