HoE Halloween Exchange

[fiercebunny]

The last exchange I signed up for was Halloween themed and yesterday, I received a package from Marie in W. Virginia. She made a cute little bag. I'm so impressed by her sewing, it's so well made. Plus, she sent a bunch of extra goodies, like fabric, ribbons, floss, buttons, and stickers. There was also a JBW chart, one of my favorite designers. I was amazed by her generosity and I love all of it very much! :D

Here's the front of it.

There's even a cross stitch on the back of it. (Sorry for the blurriness, darn shaky hands.)

Thank you for such a wonderful exchange, Marie.

Your cross-stitch trades (both sent/received) are always so pretty! Is the quality good in those swaps (not that I would join one, but I'm just curious)? I've noticed in other communities that people actually take the time to make something nice, as opposed to the doll community.

Seems like the cross-stitch community is very nice!

I'm glad you enjoy looking at them! And yes, the quality in the swaps is really outstanding. I'm always impressed by peoples' contributions, it makes me want to improve my own work just to keep up. The exchange group has a blog of their own, by the way, and you can see more of the other swaps here (http://newexchangeblog.blogspot.com/), if you want.

Sad to say, that actually made me lol because I knew right away what you meant. I think generally a lot of the craft/hobby communities are mostly composed of older people than those in the doll community. Also, other hobbies require more of a learning curve. Anybody with money to blow can just jump right into the doll hobby and I think because of that sometimes people forget that there are things to learn there as well instead of I has doll, I automatically awesome nao.
