Whew relief, my heart is always in my mouth when I send an exchange in the post, but I am relieved to hear from Annette that she received my house exchange to her.
I chose 12 houses by DT - I couldn't decide what house to stitch when I first thought about it, then decided 12 houses would be perfect. I finished it as a Bourse.
Instead of the alphabet which is in the centre of the design I placed a wee pin cushion and added buttons on the four corners instead of ribbons as I thought ribbons would be a wee bit too fussy for the design. Its all stitched on 32ct linen using the recommended colours.

WTG! That is adorable! I am always nervous until my exchange arrives safely too.
Very very attractive indeed. It would have been so hard to part with this piece.
Wow, that is such a beautiful piece! I would love to finish something as a bourse, but am a bit intimidated by it. I need to find some instructions in english:)
