First up is an update on the latest in my Advent Exchange with Lorrie.
Day 15-a selection of fat quarters in fabulous pink :)
Day 16 is a Homespun Elegance chart, a zippered Necessities bag to stitch on, and threads!
Day 17 is a Stitcher's Journal (which I've never had before and can't wait to use!) and a Bareroots Project book of Embroidery Stitches. It isn't just diagrams of embroidery stitches, but also some small projects-very cute!
Day 18-3 beautiful selections of Lakeside Linens to stitch on
Last Saturday was my local EGA chapter Christmas party and ornament exchange. I received the ornament above and made the ornament below.
Below are all the ornaments displayed together-some beading, hardanger, perforated paper, cross stitch and needlepoint.
I also got 2 items back from my finisher at the party! Here is my bargello pillow. You might recognize the design from an older issue of Needlepoint Now.
And Day 6 of Renaissance Designs 13 Days of Christmas below-
Here are all 6 of my finished designs hanging on my mantle. Number 7 is already kitted for next year! You can click on the pic for a closeup.
For your viewing pleasure, here are some photos of the Show n Tell at our meeting. Talk about inspiring! The picture below is a better representation of the green in my pillow.
Lovely, lovely work
I was installed as treasurer of this great group of ladies for the next 2 years. Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.

WOW! You really have some talented ladies in your guild!
Beautiful pictures! What a great show-and-tell! I like how you hung your ornaments on the fireplace mantle.
Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful projects!
What a drool-worthy post - I like everything in it, but that picture of your mantelpiece with the ornaments is especially wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
Your show and tell is more like show and jaw-drop! Wow. Beautiful projects of all types! Lovely header photo.
I'm sure you will do great as treasurer!! Congratulations! Love seeing all the work of your members -- wow! The pieces with the letters remind me that I've wanted to stitch some of them for a long time. Better get working! I love your Bargello pillow -- so beautiful! And the 13 days of Christmas -- hadn't heard of this series. It looks so pretty! Love the ornie exchange too!
That is an amazing collection of beautiful needlework!
eye candy galore - fun post : )
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G you have a very gifted group of needle workers. Thank you so much for sharing. WOW!!!!
Wow they all so beautiful x
Inspiring is right! I love your bargello pillow.♥
Would love to come and vist your guild someday. I have similar photos from my guild as I've been the historian for 3-4 years now. Just got elected President which I'm happy to do except when I'm not. Someone's got to do it. Guess it was my turn. LOL
Thanks for sharing! I love show and tell and seeing what others have stitched. Good luck as treasurer. Not a job I would ever want!!
Isn't it great to see and admire so many different pieces at such a meeting? Such a delight.
This Advent Exchange must be a lot of fun.
