I finally finished an exchange piece I have been agonising over this weekend. I think it turned out well. The hardest part of participating in this exchange was that I couldn’t settle on which design to stitch. I actually started 2 other pieces before I settled on the piece that I have decided to send. As one of them is pretty close to completion, I may send that along as well as it turned out quite nice too.
Here is my most recent start, a little reward for finally completing the exchange piece. I have been a subscriber to Blackbird Designs Loose Feathers for a while now but had not yet made a start on any of the pieces I have received. I started “Their Song” and I am really enjoying working on it – which I think you can tell by my progress pic!

A lovely start Cathy! And I can tell you’re enjoying it – you’ve got loads done!
It’s gorgeous Cathy! I loved stitching this one too
Your off to a wonderful start! I look forward to seeing your exchange pieces.
Oh Cathy what a wonderful start you have made. Guess what I have started? The Quaker Stocking. It is so much fun. Must show some pictures of my stitching that I have been doing.
Great reward for finishing your exchange! It is a very pretty piece.
Nice start! I *always* have trouble deciding what to send for exchanges
What a great start!
Very nice, I love this one!!!
Oh WOW! That is quite a wonderful start!! It looks amazing!
Can’t wait to see your exchanges!
Your progress on Their Song is great! Congratulations for finishing the exchange piece!
goodness you are flying along on it… and it looks great
i am actually fighting starting the latest one from loose feathers, and seeing you start one does not help !!
You will have nice pleasure to stitch this pattern
In the moment I am finishing loose feather #25 but I will not stitch the text.
Lovely new start!
Great start! I am so close to finishing this one. It’s the first of the Loose Feathers that I’ve stitched since I went on Automatics. Love it! Enjoy!
Great new start!
Don’t you just love a new start, great progress.
