Autumn Friendship Swap

I recently participated in an Autumn Friendship Swap with an online group. Kate' from Washington state was my partner, and she made me some beautiful hand embroidered dish towels with coordinating crocheted dish cloths. They are wonderful, and great examples of fine workmanship. Also included were some fabulous recipes that I am anxious to try. Thank you, Kate'!! In return, I made Kate' the following fall wallhanging and apron. The apron had matching potholders, too, I just forgot to take a picture.

Needlebooks

A few months ago, I participated in an online needlebook swap. The swap required participants to make 3 needlecases per set, and then send in your sets to be swapped. I just made and sent in one set, and the 3 needles case I received are posted at left! My needlebooks came from Holland (basket of flowers made from wool), Maryland (30's bowtie wallet style), and Texas (cute chicken...the wing lifts up to store your needles!)! The needlecase that I made and swapped, below, is made from 30's reproduction fabrics and was an original design.
