2010 Cross Stitch Pals Fall Fling!!!

I'm back from a week at the beach & the 13th annual Cross Stitch Pals Fall Fling!   That's part of why I haven't posted in so long - I've been SUPER busy.  I had a great time & enjoyed seeing all my "old" friends & meeting MANY new friends.  I didn't get to stitch much but I stayed plenty busy!  The new location was FANTASTIC & the dates are planned for 2011 - Oct. 19-23, you'll have to join us! :-)

 I have lots of pics to share of stitching & goodies, but I will split it up into several days....  and here's the "first installment"..... MY stitching for the fling....

These are my "Halloween" exchanges for Thursday night - Wicked & Spooky -

This is a picture of the 6 of the ornaments I took for the Christmas Ornament exchange on Friday night -

The top/right 3 are from Zweigarts Christmas Redwork, the botton is a Poppy Kreations design, the left is a Lizzie Kate and the center is a Renato Parolin design.  I don't know who got any of them other than the red "ornament" - but I do hope they will enjoy them.

I made a couple of others & kept them for myself - another "Be Merry" by Poppy Kreations and a LHN that I made a few changes on - including the colors - I LOVE how they both turned out! :-)

This is a kit that I've had for several years that I had thought to use in the Fall Exchange, but after I got it done, I decided to keep it & use it as an "ort box".  It's stitched on 32 ct linen over 1 and box was a part of the kit.  Isn't it cute?

And last but not least (for this post!) is what I made for the Saturday night "Stitched Exchange" - Little House's "Needle & Thread Bed".  My friend Laurie from NY got to take it home and she has LOTS of scissors to put in it too! :-) 

So that's a bit of what I've been doing.  I'll post soon with things I received in the exchanges!!

Happy stitching!!
