Exchange Received From Mare

I was in the Blackbird Designs exchange group and posted earlier what I sent to my partner. I have been waiting to receive my exchange and I'll admit I was getting discouraged.  Turns out my partner did mail my exchange but I never received it :(  Darn post office!
 On Wednesday I see the mailman comming to my door with a large box. I was thinking it was something my DH had ordered. I was so surprised to see my name on the label! I didn't recognize the return address either so I was excited to see what it was and who it was from!
 I opened the box to this GORGEOUS pillow!!! I immediately opened the card to find it was from Mare for the BBD exchange. Mare explained that she had sent my original exchange before Christmas but it must have gotten lost, so she stitched me something else. I absolutely LOVE it!! Her stitching and choice of color are amazing!  I found out today that she made the pillow itself! It is so professional looking and absolutely PERFECT!!  Mare also included a cute pattern AND beautiful flower pins which she also made herself!! Mare is certainly one talented Lady!!

Thank You so very much Mare for this fabulous treasure!!
