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!

Quaker Cat Has Arrived!
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!

Buh-Bye Quaker Animal!
My Quaker Animal exchange is on its way to its new home today. I had a lot of fun working on this exchange and I truly hope that my partner enjoys it. It should be at its new home in a week or so. I hope it is well received and that the Postal Service takes good care of it.
