Always a relief when the mail arrives safe and sound to its destination! I was pleased when you mentioned green Wendy, because it was a color I could work with for the bookmark stitched. I'm glad you like it and hope it adds to your reading pleasure.

I have really enjoyed hosting the exchange. It is fun to get a group together and make connections that will have lasting memories. I look forward to what is yet to come...so many more gifts to be received yet. I wonder who will be next?

The bee orchids grow in profusion in my garden so it wasn't difficult to chose what to stitch. 8)

This is such a lovely exchange! Thank you so much Linda :D

How amazing how everyone's project holds a surprise, so different for the same theme! All the beautiful, vibrant, happy colours in Donna's card, the beautiful finishing with the flower from Linda, gorgeous orchid from Wendy: Each is unique.

So while we wait, what is everyone up to? If you have completed your bookmark or card, have you moved on to something else? Or perhaps returned to a project?

I had been working on a bell pull from The Drawn Thread titled Garden Recipe. I am making it for a friend of mine who lives in the UK, but also has a home in France, where the bell pull will eventually hang. I underwent foot surgery today and am now on a work leave for 4 weeks, so hopefully I will get a good bit done in my 3rd and 4th week of recovery.

What about you?

:whoop: Look what I got this morning from Carole :whoop:

Thank you so much Carole I love it. Love the colours and the whole idea. Brilliant. :wub:

Still worried about my bookmark to lillybit going astray - posted on the 2nd - over 3 weeks ago :roll: :(
And she hasn't logged on since the 8th - hope she is okay.

I have been stitching birthday and anniversary cards for family and friends. Can't quite get back yet to my bigger projects.
