Because of me obviously still not being able to keep track of everything, my bog didn't get updated much lately. Although I managed to follow the blogs of friends and the yahoo emails a bit better - and that gives me a bit better feeling. I love it to follow and admire the stitching of my fellow stitchers.
I heard that my Lizzie Kate Exchange reached Ina in the Netherlands. Ina doesn't have a blog, so I can't give you a link to her. I stitched for Ina two Lizzie Kate Flip It designs (January and June). Thinking of Flip It, I thought a "Fold Up" would go well with it. Flip it from Summer to Winter - or other way around.
A Fold Up is a new finishing technique, developed by the master of finishing techniques, Judy Odell from "Just A Thought" . How to do a Fold Up like this was shown in the digital magazine "The Gift of Stitching" in November 2008 and I really like it.

Seen here with the goodies I sent Ina as well
And I also was able to finish another part of the Dragon Fly Boudoir Box from Chatelaine Designs and...lol....change the date from 2008 to 2009.

Such a good idea for the fold up. I think I'm going to have to give it a try also...you have inspired me.
The stitching is beautiful as always.
I love the fold up and exchange! All of your stitching is wonderful. Coming to Life is really pretty and I love the Boudoir Box, too.
The new technique for finishing is great! Another thing I apparently didn't see in that issue. Must go back and print it now! Your stitching is amazing! 4 pages done,plus all the other things??? WOW. I am still working on TTM, will have a good update next time I post in my blog! Are you parents gone now?
The Fold up is a neat idea. It seems that the Gift of Stitching is a really nice magazine. i have heard lots of good things about it.
I like the progress you have made on the other stitching projects your have on the go.

Great job on the fold up Gabi! I will have to give that a try sometime. Good progress on your other projects too.
Oh you're the one who made that fold up!
I did not care for that finish at all when I saw it in GoS. But seeing yours makes me like it. A lot.

The fold up is so sweet! And your other WIPs are gorgeous too, great going!
Wow, that fold up is awesome. Fantastic job. Your other progress is fabulous, as always. I especially love the colors on the dragonfly piece.
Looks great. I think having 4 sides wouldn't be too hard.
I love the flip it way of finishing, great progress on stitching too, I love the look of dragonflies so far too.
Your fold up turned out great, Gabi. Your WIPs look really nice, too!
