LK Exchange Received From Karen D & Lynn W

Yesterday I received this adorable pillow from Karen D for the Lizzie Kate exchange we were both in. Karen stitched LK Flora McSample Strawberry Sampler Quick It for me! I absolutely love this design! I have seen it recently on other blogs and knew I would love to stitch this one for myself someday. Now I don't have to!
 Karen's stitching and finishing on this piece is absolutely perfect!!  Karen wrote in her note to me that she had the perfect fabric for it and she was so right.
It is already being displayed in my smalls basket in my living room. It looks wonderful there :)

Thank you so very much Karen for a wonderful exchange!

My partner for this exchange was Lynn W. She posted on the LK Exchange blog that she has received my exchange to her and she loved it, so now I can post it here.
I stitched Liberty Sampler for her. 
I used 28ct antique white evenweave with the GAST threads called for in the design. To me this just screamed pin keep so that is just what I finished it into. I even got to use one of the wonderful Labels that Lynn B sent to me.





Thanks for stopping by!

Both are great. I love the ribbon detail on the back of your piece. Cute idea!

I've been eyeing that strawberry design myself!

Great finish on the pinkeep. That ribbon is just perfect.

Hugs!
