Oops, a forgotten post!

Waaay back in September, I joined an autumn needlebook exchange in the Friendly Stitchers. I posted what I sent to Frances, but neglected to post what Frances sent to me. So sorry!
I love the needles, they are so much better than what I have. It's a perfect needlebook for throughout the whole year, especially since it's my favourite season.



If you haven't seen this out there in blogland or fbland, you're missing out! Maja @ The Snowflower Diaries has this wonderful free SAL called Joyful World
 I just started it this week, so I'm already behind. I decided to stitch it on 32 count over one, not in my normal comfort zone but I like it! I decided to stitch the months in German and give it to my Mother for Christmas. Not quite sure how I'm going to finish them, but I've got time to think about it.

Frances did a great job with that lovely needlebook - lucky you! I love that SAL but have resisted temptation so far! Yours looks lovely. Is your mother a German speaker?

The needlebook is lovely, such a nice gift to receive.
I am also resisting the Joyful World SAL although I do love it! Maybe next year...

That is a wonderful needlebook you received.
Love the way your SAL is looking. I am stitching them over one on 25ct.

What a lovely needlebook from Frances. The backing fabric is too cute! Good luck stitching over one on 32-count... too hard for my eyes! Hugs!
