Squares from Melissa

Here is what I did with the beautiful bunny squares from Melissa for Easter. The bunny has a silk chenille tail and I wanted to protect it. I thought this was a great way to do so. I hope Melissa likes what I did with the squares.

My lovely Squares for Round 11

Here are the squares I received from Dani Braille for round 11. I love the size of the stitched area.
These will be great next winter for an ornament...

Easter Squares from Laura W

Please see these exquisite squares from Laura W. ! My photos don't do them justice. I'm just blown away by the skill that went into these, incorporating smyrna stitches (I think) and more. They are an inspiration to encourage me to learn more stitches. I'm truly grateful for these lovely pieces, which are "Button Basket" by Ewe & Eye & Friends, and Laura's adaptation of a Tokens and Trifles design. Thanks, Laura and Happy Easter to you!

Easter exchange received from Heidi

Thank you, Heidi. Your squares arrived today.

Easter has arrived!

In yesterday's mail were my squares from Kathy.

Kathy they are perfect! I adore my little "bun buns"! And I saw just the other night at Marshall's a little square opening frame that I think will be perfect for these guys. I can't wait to have them displayed with all my other bunnies. (I'll probably leave them out year round in my powder room - it has a rabbit theme.)

Thank you again!

round 11 received

I was excited to receive these today from Laura M. She also sent along a pretty scissor fob she made. Thank you for the sweet squares and fob Laura!

Round #11 Squares from Nicky R.

What a nice surprise it was to get home from work last night and find my squares in the mail box! Nicky R. was my partner, and she stitched the "reading" block from the LHN Little Women series for me. It looks beautiful and I love the fact that it features books as a subject! I love to read as much as I love to stitch! Here is a picture:
I enjoyed this, my first Fair and Square round, and am looking forward to participating in others!
Thank you Nicky :)
