Look at the lovely way she did our initials in the lower left corner :)
An tells me this is a Mary Garry's Cabin design and she finished it perfectly here's the front :)She also sent me some SWEET scissors! Which I am terribly happy about because they are razor sharp and curved at the end so that I won't snip out somthing I don't want snipped!
What a really great SURPRISE!!! I tell you it is a red letter day here!
I "met" An through my other stitching friend Harmien both of them are such dear, dear friends to me. Someday soon I'll go on and on about Harmien, but today I'm going to focus on An. An you are a sweetie and your stitching is perfection. The finishing of this fob is perfect! I can't get over it! I've made fobs for others, but never one for myself...so thank you from the bottom of my heart. This will always hold a dear place in my stitching basket. Now just I need to get stitching so I can use those scissors!
For my blog readers, if you've never met An, you need to go on over to her blog. She's bright and funny and always brings a big smile to my face whenever I read her blog. We exchange e-mails frequently and although I'll never probably meet you face to face An, you are a dear, sweet person that I am lucky to call you friend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
(P.S. Harmien...you know I love you too! :) so don't get jealous! LOL!!!)
One of my exchanges I sent earlier this week should be received today, so expect another Twisted Stitcher stitchy update soon! I'm excited for my receipient to get this one! So until next time......

Okay, after all this praise, I don't really know what to say. Except thank YOU for a being such a special friend, and for bringing out the best in other stitches with your warmth, your enthusiasm and, well, your lovely self. It was such a joy stitching this for you. Enjoy, dearest Vonna!

ReplyDeleteAnnemarie has done you proud and she *does* stitch and finish things beautifully. I particually love the way she does her crosses and have told Su that a few times. I would say An has quite perfect tension :-))

I just got this Mary Garry pattern in the mail today (yipee) ~ eBay purchase! Love the scissor FOB you received! I am off to stitch one for a friend, and maybe one for me...your blog always inspires me.
ReplyDeleteVonna, thanks again for all the Blog help.
What a great fob, and perfect for a stitcher. :)
ReplyDeleteThe scissors look like they would be wonderful to work with as well, I like the idea of the little turn up at the end.

Hey GF: I've enjoyed reading thru all the posts in your blog. I have not visited in awhile. What awesome exchange gifts!!!
ReplyDeleteLuv the M.Garry. It rocks. I think it is part of a freebie I have in my stash. I don't think I ever stitched it!!! After seeing it - I better get around to it soon.
This is quite a busy time for the boys - the end of school year is a total hassle!
Enjoy the day.
Wow, what a PIF! Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely!
