I spent the day today finishing up my project for the What's the Buzz exchange. Since I cannot show it to you yet, I am happy to have learned that
Myrna received my Summer Exchange today :-) This is the project I had been working so busily on... it's my second effort piece, after I cut the fabric for my other project too close for finishing... sigh....
Birdhouses and SunflowersShepherd's Bush, in All Through the Year leaflet, 1996Clay Cashel, Needle Necessities and DMC FlossFinished as a Mattress Pincushion
...and the back with personalization...
And finally.... the whole exchange. I nicked this photo from the exchange group- it was taken by Myrna, hope she doesn't mind but it was a good photo, much better than mine. This is everything I sent her. Myrna does not eat candy, so I sent her sweet scented body lotion and a Yankee Candle Car Jar ... and treated her cats to some new mice too :-)
Stitched on today: Finished What's the Buzz Exchange project

I just love this one, Carol!! VERY nice exchange! Congratulations!
What a great exchange package you came up with, and how fun to put in some little mice for the kitties, I'll bet they loved them. Your pincushion looks wonderful, what a cute design, so summery.
I enjoyed looking at your posts from the last couple of days too, espcially the Chowder House. That does sound perfect for your area. I'm not familiar with the design, but it looks like it will be quite cute when done.

Your mattress pincushion is really lovely. I just love this design. Where can I find how to do this type of finish? I'm new to all these finishing techniques.
I love that design, and it looks wonderful as a mattress.

Wonderful exchange!
What a beautiful piece Carol! I must look out for this leaflet. Do you know if it's still available?
That's so pretty!
Lovely job Carol!
Your latest mattress pincushion is great. Don't worry, I'm not chatting to anyone by email these days - it's too hard via webmail, and some weeks I don't have internet access at all. Don't leave many comments these days anywhere either ... more of a lurker everywhere when I can get online :(
This is just awesome!! I had to keep my eye on my sister, as she wanted it! LOL I just adore all the goodies and everything!
Thank you soooo much!
Very nice exchange -- and I love your addition of the cat toys. I'm sure her fur babies will enjoy them : )
