Stitchers' Angel Project

This fall I was part of the "Stitchers' Angel Swap" organized by my friend, Helen Stubbings from Tasmania. All participants were to make 3 projects and send them on to their Angel partner. Last week I received my bag of goodies from Becky in Bountiful, Utah. Not only were there the 3 stitchery projects, but also a collection of great little sewing tools, a pillow project and a 12 Days of Christmas panel. Thanks, Becky! It was just like opening a big Christmas present.

Here are the stitchery projects:

Needle Case

Tote Bag and Pincushion

And here are all the extra treats!

Stitcher's Angels

For the past few weeks, I have part of the "Stitcher's Angels" exchange. My friend, Helen Stubbings, from Australia organized this event. My 3 projects were sent to my "angel", Carol in Tennessee. She has just written to say she has received the package. You can read about it on her blog, A Scot in Tennesee.

I still haven't received my projects from the exchange, but I know they are on the way. I still have no idea who is sending them or where they are coming from. I will put some pictures on my Blog as soon as they arrive.

The Stitchers' Angels Project

You may have noticed this "Stitchers' Angel" button on my Blog. This is a project run by Helen Stubbings from Tasmania, Australia. I first met Helen when I was at the Australian Quilt Market Trade Show a few years ago. We met again at Quilt Market in Houston and Salt Lake City. Helen and her sister, Tracey, were right across the aisle from us at the show.

Here is how the "Stitchers' Angel" project works: There are two ways to take part. You can just visit the site every week beginning Monday 17th August to view and print a free pattern - yes a free pattern from a fantastic designer. There will be seven free patterns, one each week.

You can join in the swap by filling out and emailing the form on Helen's site. You will be allocated a Secret Stitching angel and will be given a Stitcher for you to spoil. Over the seven weeks you need to hand-stitch at least three projects with which to surprise your stitcher. Of course you can make more than three! Each participant will receive at least three lovely surprises in the mail. The theme this year is Roses.
