Gentle Readers and Dear Friends I do thank you for the warm comments and emails about yesterdays posting. I think it is very important that we always remember the sacrifices both art home and abroad everyone makes and has made for the last 400 or so years....

If you recall I took part in the HOE Christmas box Exchange - and I receive a wonderful Box from Michelle. This morning I heard from my partner that I sent to - Diana from over at Log Cabin Life, she received the Christmas Box I made for her. Here are a couple of snaps...
I stitched up a Prairie Schooler piece. Book #32, "Christmas Ark" - using the called for DMC Floss on 32ct linen. I first painted the unfinished box attached the stitching and then lined it with a green satin like fabric.... and here is the inside and the goodies ...
I really enjoyed stitching this piece as I always do when making something for an Exchange.
Last night I was stitching away on another Exchange piece so no snaps of that piece... yet.

I am sure your exchange partners are always delighted with your stitched gifts ... I know those Junior Mint Peppermint Crunches wouldn't last vry long in my house. I've been too busy for exchanges since the Fall Pyn Keepe Exchange that you moderated but I hope to get involved again in January, especially if there are any Valentine's Day exchanges going on ... I am itching to stitch some heart charts I have on hand.
