PIF's and Exchanges

Warning - picture heavy

I'm finally getting round to showing you pictures of the lovely PIF's and exchanges that I have received lately.

First off is a PIF that I received from Carol. I can't believe that I didn't post a picture before, I thought I had but when I've come to write this post I discovered that I hadn't. So Carol I hope you accept my humble apologies ( I did thank Carol by e-mail and on the blog). It's a lovely and beautifully finished Just Nan piece, it has pride of place in my room and I always stop and look as I pass by.

The next PIF that I received was from Sally. Sally was kind enough to add me on to her list of 6 PIF's as I had wrote a comment that I would love to take part but before I could post it I had to answer the front door. It's a small and perfect pincushion with my initial stitched on from a BBD.

I took part in a BBD exchange that Michelle organised. My partner was Kate and she sent me a beautiful mattress pincushion from the Honeysuckle Manor book, stitched in a gorgeous purple silk.

And last but not least I joined Stitched With Love Exchanges, it was a Tea Party/Picnic themed exchange. Heather made me a cute pillow with a Lizzie Kate design on it, it's really fun and bright.

I wish to thank everyone again that sent me such wonderful gifts that you had obviously put a lot of time and attention into.  I'll post what I sent out later on as there is already a lot of pics in this, I also have been doing some of my own stitching and have a small finish to show.
Well I'm off to bed now as it's gone 11 and no doubt the children will be up bright and early. Take care and goodnight.

Melanie.
