Winter house exchange part 1

A second post today because I've just been to the Post Office to collect a parcel and I found the most gorgeous Winter House exchange from Stephanie. I absolutely love it!

It's one of the Bent Creek bird samplers and I've been eyeing them up for quite a while (I have the autumn one but not the rest). A perfect choice! And Stephanie has made it into this gorgeous tray/basket (lots of pictures because it is so pretty). She wrote that she was a little daunted and felt she had a lot to live up to but I don't know why - it's beautifully done!


And look at the sides too (my hands are always cold so this made me giggle!)




And the top and bottom...




And gifts too! So generous


Thank you so much Stephanie. The colours are gorgeous - I love the fabrics you used. It goes absolutely perfectly with our living room - a perfect match to the walls and sofas. I really do love it!

  3. Glad you like it Nicki - it was a really fun stitch. My hands are always cold too, so my DH keeps saying 'cold hands - warm heart'! I thought it was the perfect saying for a winter stitch LOL
