Fall exchange and a finish

Hello dear friends and followers,

it's been a while since I last posted here, but now there are a few things I can show you.

I took part in the Halloween/Fall Exchange at Stitch, Create, Exchange and here is what I received from my partner Lynda:

 So many lovely goodies, thank you so much, Lynda! The scented candles brought the smell of fall to my house and I already have plans what to stitch on the wonderful hand-dyed piece of fabric. Here is a close-up of the cute pillow she stitched for me, isn't it gorgeous?

I stitched for Kay, who chose to receive a fall themed package and when I browsed through some old magazines, I found this lovely design which I adapted to fit the little heart-shaped hanger I had in my stash:

Stoney creek, "Share the harvest"

I am currently stitching for a small local Christmas market where I will have a small stand for presenting my stitching. This is the second time I am planning to do this, I really enjoyed the experience last year and hope that it will be as much fun this time. I managed to finish the biggest design I will offer for sale, you may recognize it from my IHSW posts. May I proudly present: Lizzy*Kate "6 Fat Men"

Here is the front

I used some left-over hand-dyed felt from WDW for the back

The felt back gives a really wintery feel to the cushion and I think that the color of the back and the fabric I stitched on go together very well. What do you think? I shall not be too sad if nobody would buy this cushion, I already know the perfect place for it in my own home... ;-)

I had a quite nasty cold during the last few days which is why I decided not to joint IHWS this time, as I had not been sure if I would get done any stitching at all. Fortunately it was not that bad, I finished two fun Christmas cards, which I will show you next time.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!
