I am new here and would love to do some exchanges. Would anyone be interested in doing an exchange with a cross stitch mad person in New Zealand. Looking forward to hearing from you

Hi!! Welcome to the forum. i am sure you will have lots of fun here.

I have been on exchange before but not from this forum. I signed up for biscornu and ATC summer exchange though. We can have some exchange if you want. i did biscornu, fob, needlecase, needlebook before as well as scissor exchange :roll:

...would love to try for scissor case and small square pillow...but not sure whether i can stitch it nicely... :ribbit:

Siti, I would love to do an exchange. How do we go about getting addresses to send it too

Hi again...first we must decide what we gonna stitch for exchange? You have any idea? One that i can think of right now is pincushion mattress (square pillow). I never try this before but would love to try to stitch one. Then we need to agree on the date of mailing out. As I am right now on 2 exchange heres qnd almost finish stitching them, I would suggest the mailing out is by end of June, is this ok with you?. Let me know your thought. I will pm you my address once we both have agree.

Hi Hylda, i thought of letting you know that i have started my stitching for our mattress pincushion exchange. I know that we still have a long way to go considering our agreed mailing date is end of june but i am too excited to start as i never make any mattress pincushion before. I will be flying to malaysia to visit the kids & husband on 10-20th june...i thought of finishing all my exchange before i am on holidays.

happy stitching! :wub:

hugs
