Autumn Exchange

Just a quick post to share the Autumn Exchange I stitched for Chris. This is the first time that I have machine sewn a needlework piece. I really had fun with it and I am glad that I have my sewing maching. As I finished this one, I also did much of the finishing on my Garden piece from severl months ago. I should have a pic of that one this weekend.

Here is my Autumn pillow....


I really like the fabric i used for the finish. I am going to have to do another fall piece for myself with it.

What an adorable autumn exchange.
White wedding is a beautiful piece. How fun to pick out a frame for it together with your mom. Enjoy!!
