At least I can show some of what I have been working on.....
My PIF gift to Su:
This is called Quaker Tree, a freebie from The Workbasket. I used one of the new DMC colour variegated threads for this, and a hand-dyed fabric, 25 ct Vintage Country Mocha, very pretty and toasty coloured.
And my PIF for Sonya:
This one is called 'Think Spring' by Calico Crossroads, done on a 28 ct pink linen, and it used a really pretty Needle Necessities floss called Finian's Rainbow. I really fell in love with this fibre and I'm dying to use it again. Its used in the specialty stitches around the edges, which unfortunately don't show up too well in the picture.
I'm so happy that my first PIF's are out and now its time to send out these next batch!
Last night was a quilting night, I worked on the next stage of my Twisted Log Cabin blocks for my next class, its next week, but I needed to get my sashing done since the intersections involve different coloured stars and if I didn't get them all just quite right, I would end up with stars with different colours points = wonky stars.

Well now, how thrilled am I?!!! I honestly, truly love my pillow! It's just the best thing! I was like a little kid when I opened it up and saw what you'd made for me. It really did brighten my day Wendy. Hee!!
The fabric is just lush too. I've been eyeing up hand dyed fabrics ever since I started seeing it on everyone's blogs and this piece is just so yummy. I'm going to find something really special to work on it.
And the batik.........wow! It's beautiful! I know EXACTLY what I'm going to do with it and you wouldn't believe how perfect it is for the project I have in mind......keep watching to see JUST how perfect it is....... :D
Thank you Wendy!
Simply lovely PIF gifts Wendy :)
Super PIFs! I particularly love that color in the top one... I haven't tried the DMCs yet; maybe I need to LOL

So Monday is Chatelaine SAL day!!! Can't wait! Thanks for being my SAL buddy. With a bit of luck we'll make lots of headway :D
Both are lovely. Country Mocha is my favorite color lately to stitch on. Finian's Rainbow has beautiful coloring to it, so springlike. Congrats on two great PIF's.

I had already seen theat gorgeous Quaker Tree you made for Su over at her place, and was wondering which colour you used. Aren't these new DMC colours lovely? Oh, and your stitching and finishing too, of course. Love Think Spring!
I love my PIF its so warm and rich, thankyou so much. I love the spring one you have stitched too.
Wow those PIF gifts are just lovely! I love your blog :)
