Round 6 squares from Rima!

A couple of days ago Rima sent me a big envelope with lots of goodies.

She made me a wonderful flower pattern with pink (one of my favorites) and purple (one of her favorites) mixed together. What a nice thought!

She also spoiled me with two kits, a wonderful yarn - we both like to knit and crochet, and more.

Thank you so much, it´s been a great exchange!!

Thank you Christina L!

I received these beautiful squares from Christina! Thank you very much!


When Christina asked me what I would like, I requested if something local/indigenous would be possible. Christina says that the pattern in the center is a reworked pattern from an old weaving technique called "opphamata". It was used around Sweden as far back as the 16th century. PS: She also stitched my initials and location.


I also received gifts from her vintage collection! Yay. More details on my blog.

Thanks again, Christina.

Squares from Amy SC!

I got my squares from Amy today and they are absolutely gorgeus!! It´s CCN:s Rose motif, a really nice design, which since I like house and garden designs suits me to a tee! Extra bonus points for stitching in pink - her least favorite color from what I gather:-))

She also sent me a design from another one of my favorites - LHN:s Schoolgirl lessons. Thanks a bunch! Also Vonna, can you sign me up for round 6.

My Squares from Christina L.....

Sorry I'm a bit slow in posting, but look at my adorable squares from Christina!! She made the house gray to match our new house and did "sweethearts" as Ray & I go married in Feb (20 years ago!). It was very sweet of you to personalized the design for me Christina. :-) She sent other goodies as well, check my blog to see them. She sent the pefect green trim for this and I'm going to finish it as a pinkeep. Thank you again Christina, I really appreciate your kindess!!
Happy stitching everyone!

ATTN: CHRISTINA :)

I'm done with the stitching on your squares and I just packed them away. I plan on going to the PO tomorrow to mail them off to you. I've never mailed anything to Sweden so I don't know how long it'll take to get to you but hopefully it won't take too long. Hope you like them :)

Vonna please sign me up for the next round!!! Thanks :)

Hi everyone!

My name is Christina and I just joined the exchange. I have seen some of the wonderful squares you have been making for each other and I can´t wait to get into the action:-)!

I´m 42 years old and live in the southern part of Sweden with my husband. Up until just recently I have mostly been crocheting, knitting and sewing. Then by chance I stumbled upon the 2007 issue of Christmas Ornaments and decided to make one for this years X-mas tree. So now I have rediscovered my love of stitching (I did some about 20-25 years ago) and I´m throwing myself in with all you pro´s!!

Hugs
Christina
