Exchanges

by Bette_H, in category Exchanges

I love participating in stitched exchanges.  I don’t do this very often because I am often late.  But every now and then, when I know I have the time to meet the deadlines, I will sign up for one.

From Anna

by admin, in category Exchanges

Out of respect for my exchange partner, I decided not to open the parcel from Poland until after I had sent mine of to Singapore.  I count myself as blessed to have received such a gorgeous hanger, all stitched over one!  And then the threads, fabric, charms and notepad that came with it!  I was… Read More

HOE Exchange

by admin, in category Exchanges

Well, many weeks later, I finally sent off my exchange piece to Singapore, where it safely arrived this week.  I had stitched for Ellen Little House’s “My Needle’s Work”.  My original thought for finishing it was to try to work out how Natalie from the blog L’Atelier Perdu made a wonderful sewing accessory (I can’t… Read More
