Christmas Round Squares from Annemiek K.....

Hello. I want to apologize for the lateness of my post, but this holiday season has been a tad trying. I received these over the weekend but I have not been able to post the picture until now. Annemiek stitched two absolutely beautiful squares and sent some extra goodies along with them. I just loved the squares and cannot wait to finish them into something that I will cherish for years to come. Thanks Annemiek for being my partner!

Received F&S Christmas from Lei

Earlier this week I received my squares from Lei for the Christmas round. Lei put together the design herself and I think she did a wonderful job. Thanks so much Lei, these will go into my Christmas book.

Squares received from Annemiek

I received two absolutely gorgeous squares from Annemiek today. They are really special and I will have to figure out something really special to do with them. Thank you Annemiek. I sent you a private e-mail, but am not going to hold my breath that you will get it. LOL Thank you again!!

F&S round 8 received from Michelle

Yesterday I received a gorgeous square from Michelle. She used a design from Erica Michaels and stitched it up in her own colors. I just love it.
She was so kind to include the fibers she had stitched it with and I know I will have fun using them for another project.
Thanks heaps Michelle, your squares are on their way.

Round 7 squares for Melissa C.

Hi Melissa,
Your squares are going out on Monday the 23rd. I got the package all ready to mail, but it turned out I didn't have any out of Europe stamps and couldn't get to the PO in time to pick up new ones. It should take 7-10 days to reach you.

round 5 - picture of squares received from Annemiek

Dear Everyone - finally here are the pictures for Round 6 Squares received from Annemeik. How gorgeous is the design she did? I loved the blue thread as it is my favourite colour along with the accompanying design chart and also the beautiful french button postcards which are just lovely and have a special position on my sewing room wall so that I can admire them. thank you for a lovely exchange Annemeik and I hope to remain email friends as I enjoyed talking with you.

Round 5 squares from Sharon B.(edited to include link)

I received my wonderful squares from Sharon. She stitched a bee design by the Drawn Thread and I love how she did her personalized square with the beehive. She also included a kit with a new to me technique and I look forward to stitching it.
Below you will find the squares I stitched for Sharon.


The design I used is a free graph from A Mon Ami Pierre. You can find it here. If you delete everything after the last / in the link, you will find more free graphs. It's a wonderful design to stitch.


Thanks heaps Sharon for your lovely package.

Squares from Annemiek - Round 5

Dear all, sorry for the late posting - camera was toast for a while but it has been fixed and all is working now.

My many thanks to the wonderful Annemiek who sent me the most lovely blue square (my favourite colour), extremely fine needlework and just an adorable picture. Along with some beautiful french postcards of buttons (another favourite thing of mine) and a gorgeous patchwork/cross stitch pattern. I could not fit everything in the photo but safe to say I loved the squares very much and loved the other goodies as well. Thank you for being a wonderful fair and square partner and being understanding of my delays when my mum was ill. I hope you have received my squares and that you like them. Sharon x x x hmmm the blog is not accepting my picture so I will try again.

At last!!!

Dearest Annemeik, thank heavens I heard from you - I am so sorry about my email I had not idea there was any problem, can you please email Vonna for my email address in case what you have is different and try again if you like. I will email an alternative address to Vonna that you can use also. Your squares should be arriving soon. I did email Vonna to let her know my mother had been quite ill which is the reason for the delay in you receiving your exchange. Thank you thank you again for your lovely squares and I will send an email to you after I post this and hope that it gets through - even modern communication can fail sometimes!!! warmest regards and best wishes Sharon x x x

Sharon B - mail keeps bouncing

Hi Sharon,
I have tried several times the past week to email you but the mail keeps bouncing back. I am glad to hear you received your squares and that you like them. I'll let you know when I get your squares, but might only be able to post here as I haven't found out what I can do to get my emails to you.

Enjoy your week,
Annemiek

Introduction

Hello Fair and Square exchangers,
My name is Annemiek and I live in the Netherlands. I've been following this exchange blog for quite a while and decided to jump in next year. I am not sure yet what I'll do with the squares, but one thing I have in mind is to start a collection of pinkeeps. For which the squares would be great of course.

You can find most of my stitching life on my weblog:

I look forward to receiving the name of my first exchange partner.
