Round 6 - Cathy Boyd's Squares

My apologies for such a late post - I wanted to thank Catherine for her lovely squares that I received for Round 6 - the design (prairie school) is absolutely gorgeous and colours chosen were just lovely, for some reason my picture decided to load sideways but you can get the idea!!!. Catherine sent some beautiful material and a lovely post it note set which my daughter has now taken command of. Here is a picture which I hope will do the real thing justice. Thanks again Catherine for being a lovely fair and square partner. I know that you are still waiting on mine that seem to have been lost in the postal black hole!! I have been working on other squares that I am happy to send in place of the originals. Waiting to hear from you. Best wishes and fond regards, Sharon B.x x x

Posting squares...

These are some squares that were sent to my partners for some rounds that haven't been posted yet...so I though I'd share:

My Head's Spinning

I'm lost in all the Fair & Square rounds and seasonals now! But, the above little square was mine to Sue W. for the round in which we were to do a gardenish/floral type theme. This is, of course, taken from a PS chart.

Now that all the Celebrations and Seasons are happening...my head is spinning!! I don't know what to sign up for or when! Help!!!

Squares received from KathyR for R#6!

I received my squares from KathyR and I love them and the goodies she sent for me all wrapped in gorgeous colorful tissue paper. Kathy R stitched a beautiful peacock, sent me art silk threads, a lovely card and a picturesque magnet which I will put on our frig with so many other things hanging there. Thank you KathyR!~

Thank you so much Jill!

I got the most beautiful squares from Jill. Just look how wonderful colours and so pretty design. And Jill, how sweet of you to send me so much goodies. I´m nearly speechless! A new pair of scissors, ribbon and cotton, DMC colour variations thread and the best of all: a new thimble for my collection. Thank you so much!

Thank you Heidi!

Round 6 finish

I have made the squares Jayne sent me into a little cushion. The back has little pockets for bobbins, scissors etc. (I definitely need to practise making tassels though *lol*). Jayne, thank you again for the lovely squares and material, I really enjoyed our exchange!

Have a nice weekend,

Sabine R.

Thanks Ruth, you're a gem!!!

Just logged in to post a photo of the beautiful squares stitched for me from Ruth and I see they're up already! Thanks so much for putting them up... I've just got a major assignment handed in! They are delightful and I can't wait until exams are over so I can turn them into something pretty for my lounge room! When I do I'll pop up a photo so you can all see how beautifully they match the colour of my lounge room! Thanks also for all the pretty little bits! It's been heaps of fun doing this exchange and I can't wait to get going on the next round! Thanks again Ruth, hope to see you DownUnder one day! Lol, Mairi

Round 6 from Dani B Canada received

I received a lovely parcel from Dani in Canada when I got home from work last night.

The design is from The Drawn Thread web site. The pattern is a name tag and the stitching by Dani is excellent. Also in the parcel was a Just Cross Stitch Magazine which are harder to find in Australia now, plus some lovely threads and a low cal. chocolate bar (which I shared with my husband as soon as the photos were taken !!) Many thanks Dani for the beautifully stitched squares.

Fair and Square # 6 Received

I was so excited to receive my squares from Nicky on Saturday.

She also sent some fabric, buttons, rick rack and a note pad. I think
the fabric matches the squares real well. I will be using it when I finish
off the square.

The square was part of an LHN design. I just love it.

Thanks Nicky.

squares for Mairi

Mairi's received her squares from Round 6 so it's safe for me to share --


The pattern can be found at Borduurblad

Thanks for letting me stitch for you, Mairi!

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!!

My latest F&S finished....

Since Gaby posted a pic of her finished square (below this post) I just sent to her, I thought I'd post a pic of mine that she just sent to me... :-) I love pansies & flowers! The ribbon I had was made just for this square too! :-) Thanks for looking & thanks again Gaby! :-)

Finished squares, a request and a gift...

I finished Amys squares into a pinkeep...
my first one and I love it;-)) You can see more pics on my blog;-)

I also have left a chance for a handmade gift by me and a special request
on my blog, so please take a look at it;-))

Round 6 Squares Receved from Marg F

I got this lovely package from Marg F. earlier this week!

Thanks its beautiful

Dani B.

Marg F Squares are on their Way

Marg F in Australia your squares went in the mail at the beginnin of this week for round 6 I'm sorry I was a week late in sending them!

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.

Rima
