I am finally getting around to showing the exchange goodies from the last round with the Stitched With Love Exchange. This time around the theme was Spring or Easter ~ depending on your partner's preference.
I was excited to receive Teresa's name from Teresa's Heartfelt Stitches. Here is the package I sent to her:
The fabric you see is the backing.
I was totally spoiled by Nataly from Nataly's Needle Creations, everything she included was so me!
Love how all of it was all put together!
I love BBD!
I have admired Nataly's marking pins on her blog for some time and now I am lucky enough to have my own set!
And even more...all will be put to good use..
Who doesn't love chocolates!
Especially when they look so pretty!
Thanks so much Nataly ~ I really love it all!
I have to thank dear Myra and June for sending me birthday treats as well. Myra sent me one of her lovely mug mats.
The fabrics match the little basket and needlebook she made for me last year.
June sent me some fun goodies too!
The back:
And the front. I love lily of the valley! The first perfume I ever had was given to me by my grandmother and was lily of the valley. To this day, the smell always reminds me of her.
She included these other goodies as well as a Winnie-the-Pooh towel - I do love that silly old bear! Somehow I missed taking a picture of that and will get one for the next post.
She also included these three cuties for the boys. They get their shape from the Cadbury Egg that is hidden inside. Those didn't last long once the boys figured out they were there!
My friend Brett had recently traveled to Ireland and knowing my love of sheep, brought this plate back for me and it found a home nestled in here:
She also treated me to lunch and these pretty flowers.
Thanks ladies for making both the exchange and my birthday extra special! I'll be back soon to share some of the events that have been keeping me from stitching too much!

Such wonderful goodies - you lucky gal! I have to say that little lily of the valley cushion is my favorite -do you know by chance what graph she used? Lilies of the valley have a special place in my heart too because of my dear Grandma. The side yard of her home was filled with them. Happy birthday and many many more!
Ah! What a fun exchange, all the goodness. I love that bird box.
Myra and June's birthday gifts are fabulous. What nice blogger friends
I have to inspect the pictures again, lol
Hello
What a great exchange - both gifts are lovely.
Beautiful flowers too!
What a great exchange. Both of the exchanges (sent and received) are lovely! You've gotten some other wonderful goodies, too! Happy belated birthday, Catherine!
Oh wow! Great exchanges! And lovely birthday presents too! Guess what? You now have the start of a Nicholas Mosse collection with that sheep plate. Better start collecting! I have a huge collection. lol!
What wonderful gifts from sweet Myra and June, Catherine! And I adore those fluffy sheep from Brett--too cute! Nataly sure spoiled you with her exchange gift and that amazing looking candy--it's almost too pretty to eat--almost!!
Enjoy your weekend :)
Lovely exchanges and gifts.

What lovely goodies have been arriving at your door! Great exchange pieces sent and received.
Such nice birthday presents you received. Wonderful exchanges. Even I might have trouble eating those pretty chocolates. :) That sheep plate is wonderful.
oooo lovely gifts and exchanges both given and received .. sounds like you have had a lovely birthday and darn it I missed it ... never mind all being well you should be able to stalk the postie from next week onwards from me :) love mouse xxxxx
Lucky you! Everything is just wonderful!
How funny! Lily of the Valley reminds me of my grandmother as well. She loved the flowers and had a few silk sprigs of it in a small green vase in her bedroom. I don't know what happened to them after she died, but when I got married, I had a few silk sprigs tucked into my bouquet in her honor. Several months later in an antique store, I spotted a small green vase identical to the one she had, so I bought it and now the flowers from my bouquet sit on my dresser.
So many lovely things! Beautiful flowers too! Happy belated birthday. :)
You kept your birthday quiet Catherine! ;0) Yet another April birthday! Are you Aries or Taurus?
Your exchange parcel to Teresa is lovely - sew bunny is 'sew' cute! I love the American flag scissors too - very patriotic.
Nataly's exchange to you was so beautifully packaged. And you now own some of her amazing counting pins. Aren't they amazing? I've nearly used all of mine and I simply must order some more.
Happy belated birthday! X
Fun, fun, fun!!! :) Best birthday wishes, too.
What a wonderful exchange! I am glad you like the little mug mat - you know I had to make you something else with those little squares you sent me. :o)
Such a beautiful exchange! I really love that little sampler with the bunny!
