I heard from Rowyn that she received her Pin Pillow for the exchange organised recently by Becky. I saw that Rowyn had stitched a few LHN designs, so thought this one might suit her. It is Small House Sampler from the Something Old, Something New pattern. I changed the original ABC under the house to Rowyn's initials. I think the design was originally a freebie, but has been re-released in this collection of patterns. Most of the other Pin Pillows I have seen in this exchange have some cute little details, buttons, ribbons or trims. Unfortunately, mine is very much a plain finish, with a bit of practice, one day I will be brave enough to add a bit more bling.This is the first exchange I have participated in, and I have really enjoyed the experience. Rowyn has a wonderful blog, which I can now follow officially, instead of stalking her while I tried to keep my stitching secret from her. lol. So pop on over and check it out.

I've been working on my Lizzie Kate Christmas series, and it's coming along pretty quickly. Very dull day here today, so haven't got any pics to share yet.
Thanks for stopping by, will be back again soon...............
