HOE Floss Tag Exchange!

Well, this is way overdue-I know. Wonder if I'll ever catch up
to my posts?? (ha-ha). First up is the floss tag exchange that I
sent to Caroline. I stitched her a design that is actually from the
Prairie Schooler. I took a part of one of their designs from the
Measure of a year book. It is stitched on 28 ct monaco (hand dyed
by me) with DMC light effects threads from their jewel collection.
It really does sparkle-try clicking on photo for a better view.


Here is the back. I stitched our initials, the group name, and the
date.



This is the whole exchange I sent to her. I made the simple tote
bag you see underneath. I thought she could carry her stitching
or whatever around in it. I guess her DD loved the notepad set
so much that she made off with them. I'm glad everything was liked!


Last but not least, my floss tag exchange that I received from
Georgie. She must have read my blog and discovered that I like
purple and fairies. Not sure of the designer or fabric used. Isn't
it cute?! It's just the right size. She also sent some matching floss
and some wonderful smelling soap. Thanks again Georgie!

My first floss ring tag!

Thanks to Staci's wonderful tutorial, I made my first floss
ring tag (awhile back). I had seen so many neat ones made
by her on her blog that I just had to make one myself.
Thanks for the inspiration Staci!!
I made it for Jen R., for the HOE freebie exchange.

Design-Trail Creek Farm
fabric-hand dyed by me (28 ct monaco)
fibers-dmc



These are the other items I sent to her. The pansies
pincushion is handmade by me. I also included some
buttons (not pictured).

I can't wait to make one for myself & my stitchin friend
who lives down the street.
