Exchange Heaven - Autumn wall hanging

This is the little wall hanging I made for the Autumn exchange at Exchange Heaven. Hopefully it has reached it's recipient by now.
The beads spell out autumn.
The cross stitch center is a pattern from DMC. I changed the colors and used regular DMC cotton instead of linen (which I don't have yet.)

Other updates - My newest project has proven to be awkward. I'm about to rip it out ..... again, and then it will be back in the "hopeful" pile. I'm going to concentrate on Cirque Des Carreaux and the LofS friendship blocks till they are finished. Most of this week has been spent doing quilt projects, some of which you can see at my other blog.

Update on project for Exchange Heaven

Well the cross stitch section went just fine but the putting together of the original concept turned into a disaster. I was trying to make a book but I used the wrong glue and the cover is basically only fit for the trash can. Aaaaargh.

"Necessity (as I hear say) is the mother of invention" so idea #2 is almost completed and will probably go out in the mail sometime next week.

I've been super busy with some other things so was not able to do any more to Cirque Des Carreaux :( Having said that Christmas is coming so I started making a gift. It's biiiiiiiiig, but simple (I hope).

Update on Cirque Des Carreaux and some other projects

Gollee the fabric holes are tiny. My own fault for wanting to do a mini version :)
Before I went on vacation I got all the background squares done. Now I am filling in.
3 sections got done this week.
I'm using DMC #320 for those areas I want to be green then I'll move onto another color after that.


I'm almost finished making my swap for the Exchange Heaven group Autumn/Halloween swap. All I will say is this. It involves leaves and raffia and does not say Boo :)
