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?

WOW! That is so pretty, Linda! So springy. Enjoy that bookmark, Wendy. It should make reading ever more pleasurable!

So sorry for the delay in loading the picture. I received my bookmark from Wendy and it is gorgeous!



Thank you Wendy!

I will be dropping mine in the mail in the next day or two. I only have the backing left to do

Stunning bookmarks the two of you!

Love Donna's card and the bookmarks by Linda and Wendy. They are all very pretty, well done ladies.

Very pretty bookmark with lovely colours, Wendy! Enjoy, Kristy!

How beautiful are these bookmarks and that card! Sooooo pretty.

Almost done with mine -- hope to get it into the post latest this weekend!

I love the Bee Orchid bookmark!!!!

Kristy what a lovely book mark you have received, very spring like for sure. Well Done Wendy.

Thank you! I'm so pleased you like it Kirsty!
The bee orchids grow in profusion in my garden so it wasn't difficult to chose what to stitch.

@ Linda...my beautiful bookmark is already in use.

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

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.

Beautiful bookmark, Wendy!!!

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?

I've gone back to my WIP's that were put aside whilst doing the bookmark.

Still worried about my bookmark to lillybit going astray - posted on the 2nd - over 3 weeks ago
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.

Lovely bookmark! So nice to have it personalized with your name...no mistaking who it belongs to. So, what are you reading these days?

I have just bought The Girl on the Train
