Hey Toni -- I got your pictures :)

Toni, I'm glad my squares made it to you.  I'm sorry for being so slow!!!   But at least this time I remembered to take a pic before they left --

They are a modified Lizzie Kate done in DMC and Waterlilies.  And, just to tell you how much I like Toni (who I've known for, what, Toni, more than a decade now?--where does the time go????), those blooms all have lumpy French knots for their centers.... really lumpy because French knots and I are not friends.

Happy summer, Toni!  It was a pleasure and an honor to stitch for you.

Exchange from Ruth

Finally took a picture of the squares Ruth sent to me - Love them- But I can't get them to show up! Any suggestions? Thanks so much, Ruth!!

Woo Hoo Toni!!!!!!!!

Look at the lovely squares I received from Toni ---

I do so love a flag  :)

Thanks, Toni!  You've been the best part of my week!!!!!!

Wanna see yours?

What?  You can't make it out?  lol   Silly stitcher!   That's your floss toss-- though I'm not sure if that Belle Soie will get used or not-- I have been using BS' "Icing" but I'm not certain if I still have need of "Pecan Pie's" shade of dark gold.   And, I can report since I'm actually farther on than the floss toss, that I must like you, Toni, because... wait for it..... I did French knots!   Did I hear a *gasp*?  There should have been a gasp because Lord knows I hate French knots.

I sent off my Patriotic Exchange today! Toni

My Squares came yesterday from Toni. So pretty. They came in a cute little valentine pouch that I will make very good use of. Thank you so much Toni!! I love them.

I had to add the last one where Murphy was inspecting and gave his approval of very beautiful stitching done by Toni.

I am working on yours Toni and will keep you posted as soon as I get them into the mail.

Again a BIG THANK YOU. And thank you Jill for again hosting this fun exchange. I do enjoy it!
