Merry Christmas To Me!



I received this in the mail yesterday and was ECSTATIC! Nancy K. put thought into my stitched piece. I love samplers, birds, trees, the color red and Christmas. The design is from the 2000 JCS ornament issue from Merry Cox Samplers. She stitched it all into one piece and it was on my list of "To Do One Day". I cannot thank her enough. She made my Christmas Merry & Bright. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

My ornament from Renee

I received a most wonderful Christmas exchange from Renee K.! I received it on Tuesday - I'm sorry to be posting so late! Renee stitched me a beautiful DT Christmas house, and I'm looking forward to turning it into an ornament to hang. I think that will be my project on Christmas day.
I will get a picture taken today and add it here.

I also posted mine to her yesterday. We've been dealing with a sick cat who is losing weight and not eating and my focus has been diverted a bit from stitching.

Merry Christmas!

Received from Jayne N




These are the lovely wintery squares I received from Jayne N during the Christmas round. They're even prettier in real life with the beads and the blending filament she used. She has set them up perfectly to be a biscornu, so that is what they will become in the New Year.

Christmas Round Participants

Tomorrow, December 21, is the mailing date for the Christmas Round.

Thanks,
Jill

Fair Square 2010

The Christmas 2009 Round is the last Round for this year. Round #17 will be the first round in 2010 and signups for that will start on December 25.

Next year we are just going to have the 6 regular rounds and the 4 holiday rounds. This blog has 100+ members and the rounds have been averaging about 20 participants. I eliminated the seasonal rounds as they can be done in a regular round.

Thanks for participating and here's to a safe and wonderful holiday season!

Holiday Round from Ruth


Ruth sent these beautiful squares to me for the Holiday Round. She hit my wish list straight on - houses, the alphabet and Elizabeth's Designs. The detail doesn't show well in the picture, but the shake roof and the doorknob and berries on the bushes are such wonderful detail. DH noticed the doorknob right away! Thank you for a great exchange. We did our squares as a SAL and sent fun emails back and forth about missing silks, etc while stitching that just added a great element to doing the exchange. Linda

Rec'd my Christmas squares from Sabine

I rec'd the prettiest squares from Sabine. She stitched a stocking in red for me and i cannot wait to get it finished into ornament by hopefully this weekend. Thank you so much Sabine!

Round #16 to Peg H.

Peg emailed me this weekend to let me know the squares I stitched for her arrived safe and sound. Her camera is out of commission, so she asked me to post a picture for her:


Quaker Hill House by Anniebeez
Stitched on 32 ct. Antique White with recommended DMC threads

Round #14 from Nicky R

I've been doing some catching up on my blogging, and realized I had forgotten to post photos of the Round #14 Fair and Square exchange from Nicky. Not only that, but I forgot to take photos of the squares before I finished them up into this no - sew cube.


The cube now resides on the bookshelf in my son Nick's room. Thanks again, Nicky!!

Christmas from Corinna

Even though there is no finishing requirement for the Fair & Square exchanges, Corinna and I agreed privately to do the finishing on our Christmas squares exchange. This way we can each enjoy them this year. :)



I received this gorgeous ornament from Corinna today. Her finishing is simply exquisite! I've decided to take it to work and use it as my cubicle stocking this year. I figure since I spend more time at work than at home, that way I can enjoy it more. LOL I'll bring home to put on my little tree here when I get off on Christmas Eve.

Thank you so much, Corinna!! :)

Round 16

I have recieved my squares from Jennifer. They are just beautiful she did a great job of choosing for me and her stitching is perfect. My camera is unavailable at the moment so I am hopeful that she can post a picture of them here for me. Thanks Jennifer I love them!

I just mailed mine to her today.....sorry for the delay they were stitched and ready to mail for sometime life just got in the way and I didn't get to the post office. Hope to hear they arrive to her soon.
