I also signed up for my Sampler Guild's mailart exchange. I used Carriage House Samplings 1803 Pennsylvania House for my piece. I changed the colors a lot because I did things a bit backwards by chosing the lining fabric first :-). I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do.
Hope this finds everyone stitching and creating :-). I am going to get Paradise Lost out again and try to stitch a few more stockings. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment on my blog, I so appreciate it!

Katrina - both pieces are wonderful! I can't imagine something so pretty going through the mail, but I'm sure that the recipient was thrilled, as will be your parents.

Love the anniversary piece you chose to stitch for your parents. I know you're happy to have put that behind you. Get busy on Paradise Lost and those stockings. We don't want Deb going through withdrawal for lack of stockings to finish.

Just discovered your blog, Katrina, and wanted to say "hi." Your Willow House is beautiful and I love the colors you selected for the mail art. I would be so afraid to send it through the USPS--hope they take extra good care of it :)

Do you actually send that mailart in the mail??? I could never do that, it's too pretty.
