Prairie Schooler exchange from Mary K.

Here is the gorgeous ornament I received from Mary Kathryn! It is done over one and it soooo lovely! I love stitching over one and getting a piece done this way was a real feast for me. The finishing is beautiful, the piece is sooooo soft :) and Mary K. added beads in the bottom. She also sent me the goodies pictured below: 3 lovely little pieces of hand-dyed fabric, a skein of Belle Soie (silk thread by Crescent Colours) which I enjoyed discovering! and two Prairie Schooler freebies, one of which I might stitch very soon because it features a house and a blackbird, and that is what I love in sampler ;-) Now, seriously, as soon as I see a sampler with a bird, trees and house(s), my fingers start itching to get it, buy it, stitch it! LOL

And here are all the goodies, lucky me! :)





I also received this cute little pillow which can also be attached to scissors :)



Thank you so much again, Mary Kathryn!!









Prairie Schooler Spring Exchange - winter ornament

Here is the ornament I stitched for Mary K., I am so glad she liked it! She makes much, much nicer photos than I, so I will refer you to her post here :) I sent her the Prairie Schooler box you've seen in a previous post (surprise!) as a PIF, a linen cloth with lavender (I knew she likes lavender :)) and some goodies: a hand-made card, a rabbit, a nest with eggs... and the ornament below for the PS Spring exchange - Winter ornament:
