A while back I signed up for Wild Olive‘s stitch swap. It was round robin style so the person I sent to isn’t the person who sent to me, which is a fun way to do it and keep it all secret.
Here’s what I made for my partner.
It’s a copy of a piece I made myself a while back. I just changed the colours to fit her favourites.
And here are the surprises I got.
I love how she wrote along the hoop, it’s a nice touch and will stay with the art.
Wow – I love what you got and what you gave. The embroidery you did is so sweet, and I love the way you included fabrics as well. And the little knots incorporated into the fabric that she did for you are so lovely.
What a fun idea! And I love the one you made, the receipient is really lucky. :)
A great swap!
thanks for the shout-out, tara! it was a lot of fun stitching for you. the piece you made is so sweet with all the great reminders a crafter needs to hear.
gorgeous, love the idea wish we had that sort of thing in the UK
