Fair and Square

It has been quite a while since my last post and I am so sorry about that. Live is getting really busy over here and I haven't done much stitching at all. The only few things I was stitching on are a couple of Round Robins.
I stitched these three doves sitting in a tree for a friends wedding sampler. It was quite a challenge for me. The fabric is something around 11ct. and it was supposed to be stitched over 2 threads. I haven't done such a rough fabric for nearly 20 years and it took me quite a while to get used to it.
I personally stick to my high ct. fabrics.


I also got notice for Jennifer that she received my squares of the Fair & Square Autumn round. So this is what I stitched for her:

The design is by Brooke's Book and is called Autumn Pantry. I thought it is quite fitting. I am just very sorry about the quality of the pictures. I like to iron my pieces before taken pictures to have a nice and smooth surface, but just right before taking the shots my iron broke. Now how does a woman survive without an iron. I am desperate getting a new one soon.

F & S Autumn Round

I received just a couple of days ago The squares from the Fair & Square Autumn Round. This time I was paired with Jennifer from Sweet Pea Stitches. Take a look at those beautiful squares she stitched for me. The design is by Bent Creek but Jennifer has chosen her own colors for this. Along with the Squares came a skein of her own hand dyed floss called "Autumn Leaves". Aren't the colors amazing? I can't wait to use this thread. Thank you so much Jennifer.

I have been a busy girl

I just haven't done so much cross stitching during the last couple of weeks. I am mainly stitching exchanges at the moment, but because my swap partners haven't received their packages yet, I can't really show any pictures yet.
But I have been busy knitting a lot. And I really mean a lot. I finished 3 1/2 scarves and I am almost done with my first felted bag.
The last couple of days my Mr. and I have taken tons of pictures and just finished editing them about an hour ago. I would like to share a few of them with you. Enjoy!
