easter exchanges
UPDATE: I received Toni's package this afternoon. Thank you, Toni!
It is a fun Lizzie Kate Easter pillow. I love the fabric you used to finish it and the overdyed threads in the stitching. I'll enjoy putting this out at Eastertime every year!
Some of you may have already dropped by Cathy's blog and seen the easter egg pinkeep I sent her for our USEBB Easter exchange. It is from the Prairie Schooler leaftlet "Just Hatched" and I personalized the back with our names and a little chickie from the same booklet. The fabric is a 28 ct. opalescent and the fibers are DMC.
I also enjoyed sending Cathy some easter colored floss, the new Kelmscott butterfly thread minder (I don't own any Kelmscott for myself so it was fun to see o
ne in person!), some pins, the new PS Spring sampler and a little Homespun Elegance bunny sampler, some Mary Englebreit stickers and Harry and David chocolate covered blueberries! Cathy you are a lovely woman and I so admire your stitching; it was a joy to stitch for you.
My pictures of the actual pinkeep are blurry so I included the scans I made before finishing. Cathy's photos are better.
My easter exchange hasn't arrived yet so I will post those photos as soon as it does (and continue stalking our mailman in the meantime). :)

I bet Cathy loved it! I sure would have :)
And your Easter pillow is beautiful too.
Toni's pillow is beautiful, too. I have a thing for flanged pillows, they're so cute!
