Stitching..

I am hoping that Chiari has received my piece for Melanie's exchange by now, and if it hasnt got there yet, I am pretty sure she doesnt read this blog so I am now safe in putting up a pic.

I had been holding off posting it incase I spoilt the surprise for Chiari but as I am almost certain it has reached Italy now, without further ado I give you my stitched piece for Melanie's Exchange:

I stitched a freebie design called Assisi Swan and used Crescent Colours Heatherleigh thread and pinky glass beads supplied by my partner from the exchange. I then backed it with a beautiful springy type fabric and turned it into a wall hanging.

I really enjoyed stitching this up and would happily stitch one for myself another day.
