Biscornu Exchange for Rita

I heard from Rita this afternoon that she has received the exchange I sent to her for the HoE Biscornu Exchange. I was getting pretty worried, as I had sent it by Priority Mail to Hungary back on March 17th, but no need to worry any longer :-) Mike and I both tried hard to get a good photo of this biscornu, to no avail. The camera did not want to focus on the colorful stitches (they are very colorful) against the black background, and we tried several kinds of light too... this was the best of the bunch:

Sampler Flowers #2 Biscornu
Periphaeria Designs
28 ct Black Jobelan, DMC Floss

The rest of the exchange for Rita is shown above. The chart was on her wishlist. Ther rest I just had fun with, and she sent a sweet note to let me know she is pleased. Enjoy Rita!!

Also, as I had mentioned last night, I did finish up another ornament for the Christmas Ornament SAL pretty late last night. I did take a photo of it this morning:

I wonder what is up with The Gift of Stitching... it is April 1, but no new issue yet... I hope it arrives soon!! (**Edited: Ah, there it is!)

Thanks for the sweet words from so many of you regarding the incoming and outgoing mail yesterday - and for the additional fabric purchases too! I appreciate it all (there are still two linens left.. last time I mention it).

I am off to work on my Here's To Ewe Exchange - I have a long way to go still on that one!

Stitched on today: Here's To Ewe Exchange
