"Stitch Red for your Heart" was an exchange I took part in lately and I really loved to take part in that. Red is one of my favorite colors. After hearing from Caroline that it arrived safely, I can show it now. The idea for the little book I made was born out of my frustration when I visited last time my doctor. As usual long waiting time, which doesn't bother me too much as long as I have something to stitch with me. And juggling with scissors, the thread, and everything I thought it would be so very handy to have a small something to hold it all. A small booklet just to hold everything for a small travel project. And so the idea was born. Hopefully Caroline finds it handy too.
Stitched with Threadworx "Bleeding Heart" on 28ct self dyed Jobelan.
The design itself is from Aurelle and is called "ABC oiseaux" She designs quite a few designs and put them up for free on her website. Have a look at Aurelle's site, she is very talented woman and quite some beautiful designs available. I used one of my self dyed fabrics for it (Jobelan) and Threadworx Bleeding Heart.
There is also an update on Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. Since last month I'm taking part in a SAL for it at the "Needle and Thread" forum. Goal is to finish each month a block.
Did anyone miss the next design ...Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow? Another beauty coming up. Can't someone please extend the time a bit? Like 9 days in the week....or 30 hours per day...or both? I need more time if I want to stitch everything I like in this life time.

Your new invention may catch on!!! It's another beauty you've designed!And how handy!!!! Your HH piece looks great too, but of course I love the house square. Couldn't we all use a few more hours??
I love your red stitch an how you made it into the pocket. And you already have your 2nd block done on CaHRH. Looks great!
I love your traveling design - so cool! All looks fantastic. Yes, I started CAHRH and decided I didn't like the fabric, so now I'm waiting to get the new fabric to restart it. Yes, I need another set of hours in the day just for stitching!
What a great idea for your Red exchange. I know your partner loved it. I sure would have.
What a great idea and such a beautiful little red book. Your CAHRH is just beautiful
Extending time would be very useful! Perhaps someone discovers a way to do so.... I hope this will be soon ;0)
Your stitching is beautiful!
I LOVE the book you did. Any chance of getting directions to make them?
HH looks fantastic.
Both of your blocks are beautiful!
I'd sign a petition for more hours in the day :)
I love the Red book, what a cool thought and functional too...
Be always in stitches
Oh Gabi, what a very clever idea! I would love to have something like that. I liked your HH piece also. I think I may have to check them out a little more closely.
I too, would love to have more hours in the day....at least hours when I could stay awake, LOL!
Beautiful work as usual Gabi. Love your stitching. The stitching book is a very clever idea.
WOW your stitching is gorgeous!
The book is beautiful! I love it! Beautiful stitching!
That booklet is so awesome, Carolyn will love it I'm sure. The SAL you are working on is really nice.
Beautiful needle book, your partner certainly is lucky! I had been trying to avoid more HRH designs since I still haven't started Village of even though it's been in my stash for years, but I saw the previews of Autumn at HRH and already know I won't be able to resist!
The booklet is lovely.
Looking forward to seeing how your sampler progresses.
Yup never enough hours in the day :)
Your booklet looks great! The reds are lovely~
CaHRH is looking gorgeous!
Oh, I love that little travel book, brill. idea and all that sewing!
Nice booklet Gabi. That is very pretty. Your WIP is very pretty and will be a real beauty when finished.
That's an adorable small project travel kit - I would love something like that. How lucky your friend was to receive such a thoughtful gift!
Beautiful work Gabi. Your blog is very nice.
Hugs

A really beautiful and thoughtful exchange! I think any stitcher would appreciate one of those lovely project cases :)
I love your little travel stitching book. It is a fabulous idea. Your SAL is very pretty. I totally am with you on 9 days in a week, maybe 30 hours in a day. I'd be happy with a nap halfway through the day so that I could stay up later stitching, loL!
Your little stitching case looks beautiful. Great idea! Your WIP looks great so far.
Beautiful finishing!
I can hardly wait to see AaHRH all together. And I can't believe I'm saying this... but I miss stitching on HoHRH. Next year I'm definitely picking up another HRH.
Great finishes, Gabi. I just love your little stitchin' case, what a great idea.
Happy Stitching ... Sandy
Very lovely all of it. The stitching book is just wonderful!
Lovely stitching, you seem to be doing really well.
I like so many others could do with longer days :)
Its fabulous Gabi, you are so talented!
Love your SAL.
ooohhh woow ... i love that red book , great work !!!Beautiful stitching !!
Gabi, both are wonderful. I love your new block of Christmas at HRH and your traveling design is great!
Beautiful stitching too.
Gabi, you've done some great stitching there!!!! The stitching book is fantastic and congrats on finishing another square. Those HRH designs seem to be coming fast and furiously lately!
Wouldn't it be great if we could have an extra, oh, say an extra eight hours per day? Then we could get everything done that needed to be done, and still have time for ourselves.
Your red pocket is just fantastic! What a neat idea. I am the same, I don't mind waiting so much as long as I have something to do. Great progress on CaHRH!
Thanks Gabi ! It's a beautifull work!!!
Hugs!
Such a sweet little beauty. I also love all kinds of sewing and scissor cases, they are so handy and make great gifts. Yours is so perfectly stitched and finished, congratulations.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I'd love to have just an ounce of your creativity! :)
Beautiful work ! I love it!
