Mercy was my Quaker Critter exchange partner and I mailed hers out on June 27, I fear it has gone missing, she has not received hers yet. I wanted her to see what I had stitched for her. It was perfect for her, since her blog name is Pretty in Pink. Oh well, thanks for nothing mr. postman!
I've stitched her a replacement and will be getting it out to her soon!

upon my arrival home and finding my missing mail (the lovely swan from Carol) I also found a familiar envelope in one of those "oops we goofed" pastic wrappers from the post office. My package (mailed the 28th) to other side of the country took the scenic route through at least two other post offices, one was Nashville and the other postmark was illegible. Then came back to me with the "package damaged enroute, we're sorry, blah blah blah" note attached. Well, the worst damage to the package was - it was empty. Seriously empty. No stitched surprise, no little extra treats. Just.plain.empty. So, I've started again and I'm just about half with the stitching part and I'm such a slow stitcher it's going to be a little while. But it's coming...you have not been forgotten!!!

two weeks ago...and I'm so sorry to be so late reporting in. I was away from home and when my mail was brought to me, the packages got left in the car and I just got caught up with them this weekend. And this is just the prettiest little pillow ever! Carol did a lovely job and the finishing is exquisite - thank you so much - this is my first stitched item exchange and you made it super for me. If only my partner could be as lucky as me...but that's a story for another post...

I've been on vacation for the past two weeks and when I got into the office this morning there was a package for me. It was my Quaker exchange! I didn't remember that I had given my work address as my mailing address and so I would be late in receiving my animal. Elena from Italy sent me this wonderful Quaker Cat made into a pillow with a pocket on the back. She also included some really pretty floss and ribbon. Thanks so much Elena! I love it. Sorry I made you wait to hear if your package had made it accross the water.

Today I received the above from Valerie in San Francisco. It is a beautifully stitched and finished flatfold featuring the adorable Quaker Mouse. It is stitched on Lakeside Linens Vintage Light Examplar fabric with Caron Waterlilies Flagstone floss and the backing fabric and unusual trim co-ordinates perfectly. The goodie package she enclosed contains Samplers and Such "A Spot of Tea" pattern, two skeins of Glorina Poinsettia silk floss, a packet of French, size 28, needles, a magnetic notepad and some Comos flower seeds. Valerie also enclosed two chocolate bars which are not shown in the picture as they were a bit soft from the journey so I have put them in the fridge. Thank you Valerie - a wonderful exchange!

I came home today to find a huge box in my apartment! I was a little surprised as the box was huge and I was expecting a stitchy order in the mail but nowhere near enough to fill up such a big box. But then my poor ailed eyes saw that it said Quaker Exchange on the box! I received my exchange from Margie. Oh my! She spoiled me. She stitched me up Quaker Cat on a very pale green linen and finished it up in a lovely green box. It is lovely. This is the first box I've ever received so I will be sure to study it. She did such a great job and the green cording and tassel are perfect!Plus she filled the box with goodies. She sent me a couple of pieces of backing fabric, charms, 2 skeins of Vikki Clayton silk that I've been curious about, M Designs Rose Mosaic Needle Roll chart, a box set of a tape measure, pin cushion/threader and needlecase that looks very interesting and Altoids. I feel very spoiled. Wow...what a wonderful day to end a long day filled with work, an exercise class and a climb up 50 stairs! Thank you so much Margie!

I mailed out my Quaker Exchange today. It's staying in the US and I sent it priority so the mail person tells me it will be there by Saturday...Monday the latest since it's a holiday here on Friday. Hope my partner likes it :-)

I hope he travels faster than he is known for ;-)

The critters arrived at Gwen's house today. She says she loves them and I am thrilled. I did both The Quaker Cat and The Quaker Mouse because I couldn't decide which one I liked the best. The finish is in a cube. I can't seem to upload the pictures and I can't figure out why.
