I participated in the SBEBB Valentine Exchange. I had received Katrina's name to send to! As I had read she stitches needlerolls... I took it upon myself to stitch her a needleroll for this exchange. I picked Mosey N' Me's "Stitchers Heart" which was a freebie, and modified it to fit a needleroll. It was quite fun to stitch!
I also included a few goodies in the package....
And... I was thrilled to open the mailbox and see a beautiful, rose covered envelope.... from Finland!! Outi had my name in this exchange, and sent the most awesome gifts! I opened the package to find a beautiful stitching pocket...
She had mentioned in the note that she hoped my scissors would fit in it. I was a little confused... the pocket is pretty good size. The confusion was quickly cleared, when I opened the pocket to find more fantastic goodies!! Inside was a scissor pocket and a needle case! I'm feeling truly spoiled! I have a little pair of red scissors that will fit perfect!
And... not only did I get this beautiful stitching set... Outi included a chart from my 'wishing list', and two wooden hearts! (they are hanging in my dining room window!) Thank you, Outi!

I have signed up for a few more exchanges... I love trying to figure out the perfect thing for my 'secret partners'. I know it's a 'hit or miss' kind of thing... but, hopefully I hit it right more times than I miss! LOL

I love that needleroll! :)
And I am glad you liked what you got from me. :) (About your vomment in my blog: I think that it is Michigan which has loads of people with Finnish ancestry so I don't wonder that gollege's name.)
Everything is beautiful!!!
What pretty stitching you've made and received.
You always do a wonderful job on your pieces, Myrna. This one is no exception. You're so generous and thoughtful with your goodies, as well. :)
Myrna, the exchanges are great, but I just abasolutely love the needleroll you did for Katrina-I love the color. Great job!
Myrna, your heart needleroll on red fabric is the cutest needleroll I have ever seen! I love it!! You did a beautiful job!
