Well I finally got back to the Quilt Shop, I have been stitching exchanges for the last month.
Been at this since March 6th /06....

Just "landscaping" to finish now and (of course) the backstitching. I swear it has more than a PV

Can't wait to finish cause I want to start my purple rose.

That is just beautiful, so very detailed!

By the way, silly question perhaps but what are exchanges?

Exchanges---trading your sitiching with other like minded stitchers. SwapBot is a good place, also lots of stitching groups have monthkly exchanges.
One Canadian group I joined do a different exchange every month. Last month was fridge magnets, April is a needle roll.
It is great to collect pieces done by other sitchers. Espedially if you join an internationasl swap.
Most groups have a christmas ornie exchange. Bookmarks, huck towels, bread basket covers, pot holders, biscornu...the list is endless. And a great way to meet stitchers from all over the world

Wonderful and lots and lots of work. Be sure to enjoy all of your backstitching it will really make the picture.

I know, that is the thing, it is such a pain but really well worth the effort.
