A *finished* finished from a 2012 Exchange

Hello?  Is this thing on?  Is anyone reading this blog, and more importantly, is anyone interested in participating in the exchange again?  I'd love to see this group reactivated.  I've met some incredibly lovely stitchers through this exchange.

I wanted to share a no sew cube I made with squares received in 2012 from Pokua. (You can see the front and back in that post)

This cube will be a lovely companion to another exchange I finished in the same manner, this one from Jeanie.

Daniela M's Round 31 Squares to Pokua Finished

Here's how Daniela's squares turned out when I'd finished them. Thank you, Daniela. Love it!

Squares from Daniela M

I received my Fair Squares from Daniela M a week or so ago, and aren't they just lovely!

Thank you so much, Daniela! Don't want this to languish in my finishing drawer, so off to finish it.

Squares from Pokua

I am a little bit late posting, but here is the picture of the squares I received from Pokua. 

I was secretly hoping to receive a stitched heart. I have wanted to add a heart shaped pillow to my Fair & Square pillow basket for quite a while and now I have one.

Doesn't it look wonderful.

I love it very much. Thank you so much.

Daniela M's Valentine Squares in the Mail

Hi Daniela, your Valentine Squares left the sunny shores of Perth, Western Australia yesterday on their way to you in chilly Finland. Hope they arrive soon! Warm wishes xxx

Round #29 from Pokua

I can't believe I forgot to post this here!

Round #29 from Pokua
Heart's Desire by Debbie Draper Designs
Stitched on 32 ct. Light Mocha linen with DMC 91

This is my second international F&S exchange in a row, this time from Australia. I was paired up with Pokua who stitched me this beautiful piece (in my favorite color). She stitched it in honor of Debbie Draper, who sadly passed away in early April.

Round 29 From Jennifer

I received these miniature samplers from Jennifer (Sweet Pea Stitches). Unfortunately, the photos do not do them justice.  Thank you so much, Jenn. I adore them

Fabric: 32 count Antique white linen

Thread: Carrie's Creations Foxfire

My squares from Pokua

Look at these beauties! Pokua stitched a red heart for Round 28 for me AND she added beads too! The picture just doesn't do justice to the varied shades of red in this heart and Pokua's wonderful signature square. Thank you so much for your great work on these pieces. Ladies.....if you haven't exchanged with Pokua yet, you are in for a treat.

Round 28 Received from LindaB

My Red Squares from LindaB for this round arrived last Friday and I just adore it!

Thank you! LindaB

I received my Fair Squares for Round 24 from JillMN and it's just gorgeous. I can feel a pincushion finish coming on. Thanks, Jill

BBD Squares from Pokua

I received these lovely squares from Pokua for the Blackbird Design Round #24.

I will probably finish these as a hanging ornament.

Thank you Pokua!

Round 23 from JayneP

I received a set of lovely squares from JayneP for Round 23. It's a design that I've always wanted, but didn't have. Thank you Jayne!

Running a bit behind

I'm running a bit behind on round 22, but will definitely put my squares in the mail this Thursday when I have off from work.

Round 21 from Shelley P

Yesterday I received a gorgeous set of squares from Shelley P. We were a little worried because they took a little longer than usual to get here, but its all JoY now. Beautiful! Thank you, Shelley.

Round 21

I just received the loveliest autumn squares from Pokua!



I love them so much, and you should see how perfect the stitching is. Thanks so much, Pokua! I hope my squares arrive soon. :)

Mailed

My Round 21 squares went in the mail today. They have a long way to go - hope it doesn't take *too* long!

Round 19 received

I received these lovely stitched squares from Australia. There are beautiful tiny beads in them !

Thank you Pokua :) I love them very much !

Received Round 19 from Jeanie C

Last week I received my lovely squares from Jeanie in Singapore. It's really beautifully stitched and I love the colours. I'll show on my blog soon when I've finished it. Thanks very much, Jeanie.

Round 18 from Faye

My replacement squares from Faye arrived safely in Friday's mail. YaY! Both Faye and I heaved a double sigh of relief, as the first one she sent at the end of April went missing. Thanks, Faye. You know how much I love redwork - I know exactly how to finish this one.
