Summer Squares from Nicky

This is a very late post, but I have had quite a busy month. I received these squares from Nicky on the 10th of August. They are from LHN, the pattern is Strawberry house. I have been meaning to stitch this design for myself and now I have it. I hope to get these finished into a pin keep real soon. Thank you Nicky.

Round 14 Received

I received my squares this past week from Jeanie C. They came all the way from Singapore and they are beautiful! I love them! Thank you Jeanie. I will have to borrow a camera from my daughter to post a picture since mine was taken when my home was broken into in June and I haven't replaced it yet....don't know what's a good one to have for posting pictures online. Jeanie if you could post a picture that would be okay too. Has mine arrived in Singapore yet?

Thanks again Jeanie!

4th of July Squares


I don't see that Beth posted the squares I made for her for the 4th of July round so I'm going to do so now. I'm sorry the pic isn't better than it is. I should have scanned them. In any case, here they are. The starbursts came from a portion of a Calico Crossroads pattern and were stitched with Kreinik metallics. The wording was done with some WDW & GAST overdyeds.

Round #14 Squares Received

I should have posted this last week when I received them, and for that, Lynda, I am truly sorry. Look how beautiful these are! Thank you so very much!

Round 14 Received



I was on vacation all week and arrived home last night to find this in my mail. I was delighted to find this design done in redwork (my favorite color!) What a great package to find after being weary from all the travel. It is actually a freebie design I was contemplating to stitch. Pokua, thank you so much for a beautiful piece.

Summer Round Received



I was touched by the thought process that Karen R. from Australia put into stitching this piece for me. She researched through my blog and noted that I had received the winter version of this design (Winter Cardinal) from a previous F&S exchange. She then stitched "Summer Sparrow" for me from Waxing Moon. I was tickled to receive this. Thanks so much, sweet Karen.

Summer round for April

April posted that she received the squares I sent to her, but mentioned she has out of town guests and hasn't had time to post a pic. She said I could feel free to post a picture of the squares I sent to her, so here it is:



As I mentioned in the note I sent to April, I realize these squares would have fit for the patriotic exchange as well. When I think of summer though, I always think of the patriotic summer holidays of Memorial Day and Independence Day. So, stitching this patriotic Quaker heart freebie design by Aury was perfect for me. I stitched them using Belle Soie silk.

I hope you enjoy them, April! :)

I received these beautifully stitched squares from Maren several weeks ago and am just now finding the time to post the pictures. She combined bits from a few different designs for these and they are really pretty. The colors are so soft. The photo doesn't do them justice.
Thanks again Maren! Your squares are on their way.

Summer squares from Renee K.

I received these lovely squares from Renee. When Summer comes a shady spot and a big pitcher of ice cold drink is definitely needed where I live, so these are a perfect design.
