Prairie Schooler exchange from Linda McM
Tonight I wanted to share the wonderful Christmas finished ornament exchange I received from Linda McM, the listmom of our Prairie Schooler group, and what a listmom!
Linda sent me not one but two ornaments, one bigger - from the Blackwork Angels leaflet and the second is from Christmas miniatures. I hope I am not making any mistake, but the Angels are done in silks (the gold is shiny Marlitt) and for the small ornie, Linda substituted the recommended DMC : the red is GAST Brick, the green is a Needle Necessities... I love both dearly, but I'll tell you in secret I am madly in love with the little cutie: it is sooooo bright in colors, so intricate, so beautifully finished... This is not to say I don't like the Angels, I love them too! But somehow this little one is a gem.... a real gem.
As I often say, I tend to be pathetically nostalgic at times when it comes to gifts from friends... especially those gifts where the person has put a special care and attention to make it, buy it, suit my tastes, you know what I mean.... This week I was spoiled by Mylene and Linda... Two wonderful persons I only know virtually, but they are one of those special people met on Internet, whose friendship is maybe virtual physically, but very real.
Linda also sent me several leaflets and she picked them right into my tastes, how did she know? :) She chose Heart in Hand's "A Christmas Wish", from A Stitcher's Hand a leaflet named "Needle Station", also "Pear's wreath" by Sisters and Best Friends.... and an out of print leaflet from Prairie Schooler, the sought after "Summer Samplers"!! Thank you so much, Linda!!! :) :) :)
The fact that Linda's mother worked on one of the ornaments gives in a very special value in my heart... Linda described the process in her blog, this was a very touching report (you might have to scroll back a few).
I feel a lucky gal this week... tomorrow I'll post about my trip to Cheeseland.
