Not Much Ado!


Not a lot to post about this week. This is my Delivering Winter pillow finish. I replaced the stitched snowflakes with some buttons and yes my snowman are a little different from the original. I really enjoyed stitching this, it's one design I would definately do again.


I wish I could tell you this beautiful stitched pillow is mine but sadly no it now belongs to June in the UK. This is the lovely Summer Holiday Exchange package that was sent to her from Colleen in the US. If you would like to see the rest of these beautiful Exchanges please pop over to the Summer Holiday Gallery at http://stitchedwithloveexchanges.blogspot.com/2011/09/summer-holiday-exchange-gallery.html

Hope everyone has a great week and don;t forgot to check out my Birthday give-away. Hugs!

Nice finish on the delivering winter. I love that you stitched it on the ribband. Originally I thought you would be wrapping around a pillow. I can't wait to try this trick. Thanks for sharing.
