A Spring Exchange

My cross stitch group had a spring exchange this year.  I received a pincushion from my partner Nancy.  I wish you could see close up how perfect her stitching and finishing are.  She used a Prairie Schooler  chart called  'S is for Spring'.

 

I stitched my partner 2 small bunnies from one of Sue Hillis' new Easter charts, but I had them wrapped and sealed in the envelope before I thought about taking a picture of them.  My exchange partner seemed to like them, though.

 

In other cross stitch news, I goofed up on my Torah stitch and will be frogging the rest of a row tonight.  Three hours of stitching.  I was off by one stitch.  If it were my piece, I'd leave it, but it isn't for me, so it has got to be pulled out.  I had to buy more black DMC today.  My favorite tool for frogging is a pair of curved cuticle scissors that have very thin blades.
