Hatched at Last

TW Hatched 3It feels like so long since I’ve had a happy dance just for me. It’s just a wee one, but here it is - my finished You Were Hatched by Teresa Wentzler. Some of you may recall that Niamh ‘claimed’ this design, by deciding to arrive as I was stitching on it in the beginning. But it’s mine, I think. It’s a birth piece for me, not for her :smile: I have adored this design since I first saw it, so I’m really pleased to have finished it. I have toyed with the idea of making it into a wall hanging, but I’m not sure yet.

ScissorFobExchange1In other stitchy news, I have pics to share from the recent Scissor Fob Exchange on the Rotation BB. This first one is the fob I stitched for Allie, who, coincidentally, was my (very generous) Secret Stitcher in the last SS round. I hope to be starting one of the projects she sent me very soon. I can’t for the life of me remember the details of this design - it was a little kit I received from Annette in return for some CSS help I gave her. Those Colonial Knots making up the bee sent me a bit bonkers, but I love the end result.

ScissorFobExchange2-tAnd this is what I received in the exchange - a gorgeous Sweetheart Tree fob stitched for me by Jenny, plus some fiber-bling in my favourite colours! Thanks Jenny :smile:

    Congratulations! Your “Hatched” looks wonderful. (I like the dark blue backstitching better than the metallic as well.) *Love* the bee scissor fob… Jenny’s fob is just beautiful, too. :smile:
