End of the Olympics means sadly less stitching time. The Olympics were a fantastic excuse to sit down during the day in front of the tv and put in a stitch or two while cheering on the athletes. Boy, I wish I was that fit. Sigh.
What concerns my sampler, thanks to said Olympics, I'm a bit closer to the end....
I also took part in an exchange on "Hooked on Exchange" and received last week in the mail a darling ornament from Lynn. It's filled with crushed walnuts and is not only beautiful, but also has a lovely feel to it. Love it. Thank you so much Lynn.
For my partner Karen (no blog as far as I know) I stitched one of the December Stockings

Those are lovely gifts exchanged. But oh my! Your sampler is stunning! Just love the little dogs. :)
Your Wisdom Sampler looks fantastic. The Olympics provided some extra stitching time for us all. Love the exchange pieces too.
"Wisdom" is just beautiful, Gabi, both your stitching, as well as design and the colors. I just love it!
What sweet ornaments they both are, wonderful exchange :)
I agree, we all sure benefited from the extra stitching time, not to mention the joy of watching all of the wonderful athletes.
Have a great day

Your sampler is just beautiful Gabi. Great exchange gifts both given and received:)
A very beautiful sampler! And great exchange pieces ~ I love using the crushed walnut shells.
Your Wisdom Sampler is gorgeous! And you're really getting close on finishing it too! Love the exchange pieces as well. I hear you on the Olympics. It's weird to have them all over.
I have never seen that sampler before- it is beautiful! Lovely ornament and stocking as well!
Your Wisdom Sampler is to die for! I have that chart and sigh everytime I run across it....someday it will get stitched!
You were lucky in your exchange group and received a lovely ornament. I am currently finishing up that same BBD stocking - great minds think alike ha ha.
It looks great. I miss the olympics also. the exchange pieces are great.
Your sampler has some wonderful colors in it! Very nice exchange pieces too.
Gorgeous progress on your sampler Gabi! Amazing what you got done during the Olympics! And lovely exchange too...both ornies are very nice!
Well you certainly moved along on "Wisdom" these past few weeks! Good going!
Gosh Gabi, the colors in your sampler are so vivid! I just love it.
Such fantastic colours in the Wisdom sampler.
It is a shame the Olympics are over. I'm not a big sports fan, but I do love the Olympics.
Great progress on the wisdom sampler. You are so close!
The ornaments are beautiful too.
Have a great weekend!
Love your Wisdom Sampler - it's just gorgeous, love the unique border!
I am just loving your Wisdom Sampler, Gabi--totally beautiful!! And your little stocking is so cute--I can't get up my nerve to try making one...
How pretty, Gabi!
There's still the Para-Olympics to go! I wonder if they're getting much coverage around the World?
I love your two exchange items, both are so nicely stitched and finished.
I absolutely LOVE that sampler! It's just gorgeous.
I didn't get as much stitching done during the Olympics because I found myself always looking at the TV instead of my stitching.
Lots of frogging resulted!
:o)
Your sampler looks gorgeous. Love the little stocking you made for your partner. It is very pretty and finished so perfectly.
