Back in February, I discovered Wild Olive’s stitch swap. I was super excited and signed up right away.
When I found out who my stitch swap partner was, I was intimidated. She is from the UK. And she’s a student at the Royal School of Needlework. Her blog had pictures of all the beautiful things she had made in classes. I was scared that what I stitched would be nowhere near cool enough.
Nevertheless, I decided that I just needed to have fun with it. The swap wasn’t about ME: it was about my swap partner.
I combined two things she likes: flowers and the abstract, and did a quick sketch of what I wanted to stitch first.
Then I started stitching.
In the end, I really just did have fun with it. Over the weekend, my swap partner emailed me to say she’d received my hoop and really like it! woohoo!
I also thought it’d be fun to share some of my faves from everyone that took part in the stitch swap. These were all taken from the flickr group, which people uploaded pictures to as they created and received their hoops. Check it out if you have second!
