I shared the secret Easter exchange underneath some pretty tissue paper last time. We had a virtual exchange on Easter Sunday and posted a picture online of the finish we had stitched as some post offices are closed so not all could be sent out. We are saving them and posting out when we can.
As it's been shown on the forum, I can share my Easter exchange gift with you, but not say where it is heading and who will receive it.
The design is from a very old magazine called The Gallery.
The next two are to be Christmas gifts. Stitched a while ago but received the finishing treatment this week.
The Winter challenge at Needlecraft Haven. A free design by la Comtesse & le Point de Croix and the chart from her blog can be found here.
Miss Santa by The Little Stitcher, this design was in a magazine (JCS I think)
If you are not familiar with Gifted Gorgeousness, you can visit Jo's blog to find out more. GG was started in 2015, a time to share things that have been gifted to you, or you have gifted to others since your last months post.

I hope all is as well as can be for you at present and you and your families are safe in these strange times.
Love and blessings
Julie

Love all 3. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching for Easter and Christmas. Our virtual exchange was great fun and will be a super surprise when we can post out.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Easter and Christmas stitching, Julie. I like how you used the pom-pom trim. I need to practice using it as I like the difference it makes to a finish.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so lovely, Julie! I think the Easter piece is my favorite--I am really loving finishing things into ovals or rounds these days for some reason. The colors in your oval finish are some of my favorites, too and the ric rak trim and ribbon are just perfect with them.
ReplyDeleteTake good care now and I hope things are improving in your area as they are here ♥
I think they are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
All the best Jan
