Round 3 closing early.....

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know that I will be closing the sign ups for round 3 on November 22nd. I have been feeling unwell again and will use the extra time to assign the partners. I will try to have the emails out by December 1st at the latest.

Round 3 Sign Ups are Now Open :)

Hi Everyone!

I am now ready to open the sign ups for round 3. Please email me at apxstitch@gmail.com with your name, address and Blog URL. New members are welcome but please read the rules of the exchange and make a letter of application to me first.

Please remember you may only sign up for this round if your exchange for round 2 has arrived safely to your partner. I will keep the sign ups open until November 22nd and I will have the partner details out to you all by December 1st. Mailing date for round 3 will be February 1, 2010.

I'm so impressed with all of the really lovely exchanges that are being sent out. If you have any questions at anytime please don't hesitate to contact me. Any new members that recently joined and that sent me their sign up details can you please send them to me again? With my health being so up and down I am not as detail oriented as I normally am :)

What a treat in my mailbox!

Lizzie*Kates' Summer ABC's stitched on 28 ct Mushroom Lugana

I received my exchange today from Suzanne and I just LOVE it! I just envy people who can whip together these cute little pillow/ornaments. She did such a beautiful job with this and I have it hanging right next to my stitchy chair right now. You can see the cool fabric for the backside she used at my blog where I have a picture of it. THANK YOU Suzanne from the bottom of my heart. I will treasure it always. :) :) :) Lori

I Received Mine!

I opened the package from Bev and found this adorable ornament. She not only stitched one side, she did both sides.



I'm not waiting until Christmas to display this. It's out with my others. Thank you Bev.

Received

This is a quick note to say that I received my exchange piece from Susan the other day. She stitched two cute Christmas pillows. My eldest daughter took one look at them, cuddled them and said "one for Amelie and one for me". These two pillows now reside in their respective rooms. Thank you Susan, both of these pillows are great and so well made, we all love them.

Perfect timing for my exchange to arrive

Well on top of it being my birthday yesterday I got this in the post from Heather so was perfect timing, and to be honest is perfect for me. It has now took pride and place in my bedroom, so thank you very much Heather.

I can also comfirm that my partners piece was posted off while i was on hol , so hopefully it should be atits destination any day now. Now on to round 3!

Wonderful exchange from Lynn

Yesterday I received this wonderful little autumn pillow from Lynn. I love this and the idea of the stand (the stand is made by Lynn´s husband). So this is a set and now I can place the autumn pillow on a table, a shelf etc. Thank you Lynn so much!

Thank you so much Kathy. I like them all!

My LK from Brenda!

I got my LK exchange from Brenda on Saturday and I love what she sent! Welcome Friends and finished into a pillow! This is something I can display all year long! Plus this is one design I haven't had a chance to stitch!

Thanks for a lovely exchange, Brenda!

Hugs,
Wendy Jo

Received from Stacy

I have received my Round 2 piece from Stacy.  She stitched the design from the Halloween sampler and made it into a sweet little pouch that I can keep small items in like threads and things.  What a fab idea, and one I must try myself one day.

Thank you Stacy.

My L*K arrived from Malaysia!

Thank you so much, Janet! She stitched the "Friendship Grows" design and finished it as a hanging ornament. Just beautiful!

Received from Karen T

A big fat envelope awaited me when I arrived home from work this evening. Inside it was the cutest little pillow from Karen T! Thank you, Karen. Love it and in my fave colour too - pink and green! *big smile*

I will be sending out my exchange piece today. I hope my partner likes it. I am a little late but life happens sometimes.
Smiles, Brenda

Sidebar Names

Hi ladies, Since this round is coming to its send date and alot of the pieces have been received etc, I am starting to check off your names. If your name is no longer on the list it means that you have sent your piece, it has been received by your partner, and you have also received a piece from your partner, in other words you are totally cleared. If your name is still there with Send / Rec'd next to it, that is because I am still waiting for your partner to receive at their end before I totally clear you.
Angela, over the next couple of weeks will be opening sign ups for Round 3, so please remember that your partner's name must have Rec'd next to it, or their name have been deleted from the list for you to sign up for this round. Of course if you weren't involved in round 2 and are a new member or returning from round 1 then you can sign up straight away when Angela opens the round.
We look forward to another great round, this one has been fabulous and thank you all for being a part of it, hopefully we will have a smooth ending to round 2 and not have to ask help from any Angel Stitchers.
Happy stitching to all.
LISA V.
