Thanks to all that participated in my “guess the state” contest. A number of you did guess correctly, so I put these names in a hat and pulled the winning name out:
CONGRATULATIONS TO: Annemiek
You are the winner of the TEXAS Needleroll ~ Please email me with your address and I will send this out to you.
All 30,000 pounds of our personal belongings arrived at my doorstep on Feb. 26th. I am drowning in boxes and dreading opening each one. Here in Texas, there are no basements and storage space is limited. With each open box, I struggle with where to put all of this “STUFF” ~ my sewing room is maxed out and I still have oodles of boxes to unpack:

I have walked this path before and can take comfort in knowing that with time this chaos shall turn into an organized home!
Okay, on to some wonderful stitching pictures….I received two wonderful exchanges; the first is from Brigitte who was my partner in the Friends through Threads Seasonal Exchange. I was overjoyed when I laid eyes on this gorgeous Stitcher’s Bag:
Stitcher's Pocket from Brigitte
Beautifully stitched and finished! I just love the design it makes me smile. :D
Brigitte spoiled me with so many wonderful extras:

Many thanks Brigitte for making this a truly wonderful exchange!
I received the second exchange from Stephanie who stitched for me in the Prairie Schooler Exchange:

What a real treat, I got not one but two exchange pieces a beautiful Pinkeep and an adorable Scissor FOB. Stephanie you did an amazing job on these treasures and I cannot thank you enough for your time and generosity!
I can no longer sit at this computer so I will share pics of the Fair & Square blocks that I received in my next post. Must run...I hear boxes calling my name. Grrr!
Thanks for stopping by and I do look forward to your return.
Until next time...
