Christmas Round from Jenn F.

Hi Jenn,

The squares arrived. I love the little church. Thank you so much, you did a wonderful job. And I love the colour of the floss. I may have to use some of it to stitch another ornament for the tree since DH bought a big pre-lit one this year. We used to have just a little 3' tree.

Christmas squares from Sabine

I received these beautiful squares today from Sabine for the Christmas exchange. I just adore Prairie Schooler designs, so it's perfect for me, Sabine! I love how you repeated Santa's hat on your name square, too. Thank you so much!!



My squares to you are in the mail, but I'm not sure how long it will take for them to make it over there since the U.S. has a postal holiday this week. Hopefully they will be there soon. :-)

Squares received!



I received 2 sets of wonderful squares this weekend. My Round 10 squares arrived from Jeanie C. I have had this design in my stash but haven't stitched it yet but now here it is! I love the design and the color you chose. My Christmas round squares arrived from Joan S. I don't think I've seen this design before but it's wonderful and festive for the holiday season. Thank you both so much for such beautiful squares!

Christmas Round Received

I got my squares from Mary Kathryn! Arne't they adorable?! And the stitching - Lordy! it's over 2, but so tiny and neat! I really, really like them! Thank you, Mary Kathryn!

Michele W's Christmas squares...


Michele you have my apologies for not posting these squares more promptly. I should have let everyone see them sooner! Aren't they wonderful? Thank you very much for stitching them for me! I really love them!

Round 8, 9 and Halloween!

First off I want to apologise to Staci and Diane for taking so long to get the pictures of their beautiful squares up. I was delighted with all of them and have had them hanging up while i decide what to do with them! No that I've finally got passed the exhaustion of early pregnancy I'm trying to catch up on some long overdue jobs!
Diane stitched this one so that it could be easily turned into a needleroll and now that I have found out what that is I think that will be my next project! I love the 3 dimensional effect of buttons and varied stitching! Thanks so much!

Staci sent this square for the Halloween round and since I love cats it was highly appropriate! Not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet but I'm sure the inspiration will come to me one of these days!


Staci and I were paired for 2 rounds at it happened so unfortunately she probably feels she's lucked out with me as a partner being so slow but there you go. I don't know if she was psychic or what but the colours in this square are exactly the colours in my lounge room so it will probably be made into a little cushion or one of those stand thingies I've seen on Vonna's blog!
Thanks so much girls for your patience. I'm really sorry that you've caught me at a stage in my life where things have not being running too efficiently! By the way, I did find out that I'm having another girl last week so that will mean I can do more pretty stitching (and those "sister" patterns that seem to be everywhere won't be getting overlooked anymore!) Happy stitching!

Round 9 squares received from Shelley


My squares from Shelley arrived safely and I was thrilled to receive them as Shelley has been quite ill and had advised me of the delay. Unfortunately she will not be continuing with this exchange for the time being. The stitching on the squares I received is superb. The design is from Little House Needlework - currently my favourite designers.

This is the square I sent Shelley which she was unable to send a photo to the board. Unfortunately I cannot find where I took a photo of the second square with my name on it. Perhaps I forgot. I enjoyed stitching this design from The Prairie Schooler.

Received Thanksgiving Round


Thank you Michele for the wonderful squares. I had originally thought of doing this one myself! Great minds think alike! Love it!
