Hoop Up Swap Complete

15 Apr 2012 | Other RSS posts by

I have successfully finished all of my pieces for my Hoop Up Swap, have sent them, they have been received and I have in my possession the stitching completed for me.

It was a terrific swap.  I really enjoyed stitching for someone else, especially when they had a theme because part of the fun was coming up with something that would fit their theme.

My theme was cliches  and I got back some terrific pieces to round out the collection.

This was the piece I stitched.
