More exchanges!

I just heard that Simone has received her Monochromatic item, so here it comes (try to guess one of her favourite colours)!

 

Tidbits:

Design: Quaker Medallion Strawberry Pinkeep by Blackbird Designs
Published in: Just Cross Stitch's Christmas Ornaments 2006 issue.
Fabric: Unknown 28 count hand-dyed pale green Belfast linen from Silkweaver.
Floss: DMC 793

I try to avoid using glue in finishing, but as I was already late with this I followed the instruction and used glue for the leaves. If I had had more time I would have done the leaves differently (I have two possible ideas in mind for future reference), but still I am happy how this turned out - and Simone loves it and that is important. ^^

And as you see from the picture I also sent her some big glass beads and two skeins of DMC's Variations in shades of blue.

(By the way, it's not Livejournal which doesn't provide feed, but Bloglines which doesn't seem to find/ update the LJ feed. I was curious and checked my feed with Google's news aggregator. This might also explain why it seems to me that no one updates their LJ's anymore.)
