Fair & Square finishes

I bought myself a new sewing machine just a few weeks ago and finally started turning my received Fair& Square pieces into finished objects. I've decided to finish them all into little pin cushions and display them together with my ostrich egg in a big basket. This basket is centered on my living room coffee table. It makes me smile every time when I pass by that basket and remember all those great exchanges I had (and still have) in this group.

Here are pictures of each single pillow (only the front with the main square, the squares with the names are on the back of each pillow, you can see those on my blog)

from Gillie - this was my very first exchange

from Jennifer in 2009

from Kathy in 2009 - I had my bicycle stolen that summer, so Kathy decided to stitch a bicycle for me. This exchange was very special too me.

Thank You Kim V!

I received the most beautiful squares from Kim V for Round #23. I just love them!



These are so beautiful...I just love them. The peacock was a freebie at www.BirdCrossStitch.com, the letters and the little peacock came from Homespun Sampler's "Pollygaton" and "Patience". The fibers used are GAST Avocado and Dried Thyme; WDW Mulberry and Grape Ice; and Kreinik #4 #5740 and #015. PLUS Swavorski crystals. I took a closer up photo to give you a better idea.


Thank you Kim!

Very Late Post

I received these a couple weeks ago and have been deliquent in posting. My picture does not do them justice. Kim V. stitched these lovely BBD squares for me for the Christmas Round! I love BBD but have very few of their patterns myself so being gifted with these is a real treat! Thanks, Kim!

4th of July Fair and Square Received

Forgot to post on Friday that I mailed my round 13 pieces to Kim . Hope that the mail gets them to her quickly, I am really anxious to see how she likes what I stitched.

Round 12 from Kim

My squares from Kim arrived yesterday. She did an awesome job on these. Thank you so much. I love the little deer sampler and the fabric. It looks a bit like it is over dyed. Very beautiful.
