Another Fold Up

After getting notice that Cathy received the Valentine Exchange, I can show a picture of it now. The designs are taken from "Valentine Wishes" from Blue Ribbon Designs and it's finished off as Fold Up. It was a pleasure to stitch it for Cathy, and I'm glad she likes it.

The complete Valentine Exchange

And here a picture of the complete exchange. That is not a box of chocolate, but a calendar. I had to save that one from my daughter....lol.


There are not much stitching related news here. Because of my father not being well I didn't have much time for stitching.

You really did 2 of these already?? They are so gorgeous! I wend back and printed the instructions, just not sure what pattern I would like to use. I don't like the one they used....I couldn't tell what they spelled out...could you tell? Or was it just me?

Love the fold up, very pretty and again you did a awesome job on it. I'm going to have to try to find instructions for it since when my computer crashed I lost all the issues of the magazine

I have not done a flatfold before (and frankly am scared to try) but I think these are beautiful!!
