I am blogging early tonight as I would like to dedicate my evening to finishing a very important birthday gift, which is already late. Since I learned today that
Chizue has already received the SBEBB Quaker Alphabet Exchange that I only posted off to Japan on Friday, 8/31 (yet Annemarie's RR has half the distance to travel and is not there, despite being posted on 8/17??)... so I will share what I sent her.

Quaker Heart PillowJanice WoodZweigart Vintage Country Cream Belfast, DMC 115Thank you all for the wonderful comments about Maria's gift for me! I hope she takes a moment to read all of the wonderful things you wrote about her!!
Susan, the chart I am using (chowder house) on Cathy's RR is in a 1990 leaflet by The Cricket Collection called "Kiss the Cook." (It is still available - I just checked and Stitching Bits & Bobs has it).
Stitched on today: Finished a gift

I think it turned out so nice, Carol! Nice choice :)
I'm just about to shut down the computer for the night and begin stitching scissor pocket #5 and saw your early post, Carol. Yes, I've been reading what people have said about the pocket. How nice of them all! My head has been swelling all day and that has been hard to do because it has been so very very HOT here. Once more it was a pleasure to stitch and I'm pleased you like it so much.
Gorgeous! And everything lines up so well and is so neatly finished. I'm envious. :-)
Carol, your Quaker Heart Pillow is beautiful! Such a pretty design.
Very pretty heart!!! Your finishing is flawless as always :)
Absolutely gorgeous exchange, but then those reds are my favorite color. Chizue is a very lucky woman.
That's such a cute piece Carol!
You posting early means I might have to go to bed earlier than usual. LOL!!
Love the Quaker Heart Pillow. You do a very nice job and the finishing is so perfect.
What a wonderful heart pillow, it's beautiful! A really lovely finish, Carol.
Beautiful, Carol, as always! :D
A lovely heart pillow indeed. I've been wanting stitch that up for the longest time :)
How gorgeous. Your finishing is perfect. Ann.
You have done a lovely job on that Quaker alphabet pillow! Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Nice! Do you use a sewing machine on your finishes?
Such a pretty heart pillow! Lovely Carol!
Great Quaker pillow!!!! The red is so very pretty.
Love the little pillow - what a sweet piece!
Wow that pillow is just awesome!
Aww isn't that the sweetest little heart pillow!! What a pretty design!
Hi Carol
Oh I am so behind on my blogging and haven't gotten as much stitching done until the last couple of days. We too have been a little under the weather but I think it is from some pizza we had that apparently is loaded with MSG. Anyhow, I hope you and Mike are feeling much better!! I didn't realize you were sick. Your little pillow is just beautiful!! You do such beautiful work and your finish work is outstanding too! Hugs Debby :)
It is great! Off course this pattern has a special place in my heart since I stitched the for the Freebie exchange for Dawn :) I had lots of fun stitching it.
Wow what a beautiful pillow Carol!
Isn't that a darling heart, Carol? And, again, I love the chowder house.
Hugs,
Deb
Carol, this pillow is just beautful!
Thank you to my blog.
I am sorry that your comment is late.
I had set up so that English do not be displayed.
Thank you so much your stitching.
I am very HAPPY～～～
Thanks, Carol for the info on the Cricket Collection chart - I love Cricket Collection, and I've been looking for charts that have a "coastal cottage" kind of theme!
