I've been wanting to stitch this for some time now and finally got around to it. Not sure of the fabric as it came from a scrap bundle, the floss is DMC934. The pattern is from
The Workbasket.

Another turtle has landed!
Thank you, Paula, for my beautiful turtle which arrived safely after crossing the Atlantic Ocean in its new home in Scotland this morning. Thank you too for the little extras you included with it - the floss and the handcream sample which I had been wanting to try. I love Pansies and the colour purple so even the tissue wrapping was a delightful surprise!

From San Francisco to the UK
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!

Look What Arrived From Scotland
The Rabbit arrived from Meg in Scotland today. Meg I love it and I collect satchels like this. You couldn't have chosen a better finish. I love the colors and the Lindsay tartan is beautiful and means more since it is what your grandmother wore.
The package arrived just as I was leaving for a needle biopsi so this really picked up my day.
I love love love it! Thanks so much.
