Claudia has so spoiled me again with her incredible stitching and finishing. I feel an incredibley lucky lady to have been blessed with Claudia as my partner, her stitching and finishing are AWESOME!!
The design is by Kathy Barrick-Dieter, and is called Acorns and pins. Claudia has made it into a floss book for me, its so beautifully finished and I just love the lining fabric that she used.
Also in my stitching parcel was the most gorgeous acorn hornbook, which Claudia has personalised for me.
Look even the back of the floss book has the little acorns stitched on. I so love this Claudia and Thankyou so very much again for this beautiful exchange.
I have also been secret Santa'd, this wee thread parcel popped through my door on Friday, I haven't a clue who its from, but I think I have an idea and I think she lives in Holland?!? THANKYOU so much for this wee secret santa treat I feel so lucky to be a recipient.
I also want to mention that I'm sorry I have been a wee bit absent around the blogs lately and even updating my own, a lot has been going on in my life at the moment. One of the things is I went for an interview last Thursday for a new job, but I haven't heard anything yet! - so wish me luck!
Also my dear friend Angela is here this weekend staying with me and oh boy are we having fun, I am so delighting in her company and we are sharing a few laughs and tips - more about all of it later next week.

What a lovely exchange, great finishing! Good luck for your job application :)
GORGEOUS exchange from Claudia!!!
A wonderful exchange from Claudia. Fingers and toes crossed for that job.
Su, hi there,
I just wanted to add my comments to yours and say that Claudia's gift really is breathtaking. To be able to hold it and admire the beautifully fine work was a real treat. The delicate hemstitched border and tiny acorns are the work of an incredibly skilled stitcher :>) I love the fabric lining too and the little acorn hornbook is a real treasure :>)
Your secret Santa gift is so sweet and thoughtful. I love the little stamped card that came with it and pretty festive themed thread - it truly is a magical season for giving ;>)
Hugs, Angela
Oh wow wow!!!!
What a wonderful exchange presents they are!!!
I know that her stitching and finishing are AWESOME!!!
Is stunning, isn't it?!
I can't believe how she can make such beautiful things so fast!
She is so talented, isn't she?
You too, but you are also a lucky lady!!
WOW! I think I may abandon my attempt at making a needlebook after seeing this one. You ladies are all so talented: Helen and you, and now Claudia too!!!
Absolutely wonderful!!!
Good luck with the new job! Beautiful gifts - I love the hornbook!
