Seasonal Exchange - Fall

Since I know my partner has received what I sent her, I can now share with you what I made and who I made it for!  Laura was my partner for this exchange.  You'll remember she was my partner for the Blackbird Designs Exchange in the spring too.  What are the chances of getting to stitch for the same person twice in one year?!  Here's what I sent:

Design: Fall Squared

Designer: Lizzie Kate

Fabric: 28 ct. Graziano natural/cream gingham

Floss:  DMC as charted

Started:  10/6/12

Finished:  10/16/12

Completed:  10/20/12

I decided to do a pinkeep finish this time so I could send it in a flat envelope.  The last time I sent something to Laura it took forever to get there so I was hoping the flat finish would maybe speed it along faster!

The fabric in the background is what I used on the back. I like how the sheer ribbon picked up the burgandy color in the pumpkins. I decided to do the leaves in the orange color instead of the charted color because the oak leaves in my yard are orange. Other than that, it's pretty much stitched as charted.

This is one well traveled piece too.  It went all the way to Utah with me but sadly never made it out of my stitch bag. I did, however, take it to the Tiara Retreat.  The stitching got started and finished there! You'll remember I showed you this picture from the retreat.

I'm glad Laura got it so quickly this time!  I really enjoyed stitching for her again and I'm glad she liked it too!  I can't wait to see who is stitching for me.  I'll be sure to post what I receive so you can see it too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I'll be back shortly to tell you about a mini road trip I took last Thursday and Friday!
