Happy Friday Friends:
I have some pictures to show you. First up is the ornament I received from Meg for the Christmas in July Exchange over at The Friendly Stitchers Yahoo Group.
I just love how she did those fabric covered buttons. I'll have to learn how to do those.
Next up is the piece I made for my partner, Dawn at the Seasonal Exchange blog.

Isn't it lovely? Meg said the pattern came from a Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue. I love the little beaded tassles in the corners and the beaded hanger she made.
Next up is a pillow I received from my partner, Laura, at the Seasonal Exchange blog.

In other news: I've been working on some knitting tonight. Something I haven't done in quite a while. Needless to say, its taken a few cycles of stitching, unraveling, stitching, unraveling, until the techniques started coming back to me.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and find time to do some crafting/sewing/quilting.
**Hugs**

Wow...knitting. That's the one thing I just can't do. I tried but ended up frustrated and wanting to stab someone with my needles, so for the health and safety of those I love, I chose to give away my knitting needles and promise not to ever try that again :) Your stitcheries are lovely!
Beautiful stitching.
I am so in love with the colors of Bookworm Fairy! I just can't wait for you to start her wing!!
Your Bookworm Fairy looks great! I love the colors. Your ornament finish is very nice!
Such great gifts, Jen! I've always meant to stitch that first one myself...
I can't imagine the patience you must have to tackle a HAED chart, but your Bookworm Fairy is off to a great start :)
Gorgeous gifts you all made for each other. REally love the beaded one. Have always wanted to try out beaded tassels...they look complicated! Lovely progress on your HAED too!
