I recently participated in a swap, with a group of ladies from my craft forum.

The theme was ‘Down in the Country’. I have about a squillion magazines, so finding a project wasn’t hard… settling on one project was the hard part. There are so many cute projects to make.

I ended up tracing the design and taking it with me and stitching it in Vanuatu – this is a well travelled stitchery.

I contemplated making it into a cushion, but in the end, decided to make it into a wall hanging. Here is the wall hanging I made for Quiltin’ Sandy (a fellow Aussie).



The stitchery design is by Natalie Bird which I found in an old issue of Handmade Magazine.
And this is the project which I received from my partner, Quiltin’ Sandy.



Super cute, right? Look at these perfect stitches.



It seems we both had a “chicken” theme in mind for our swaps.

Thank you Sandy. I absolutely love it!! And thank you Michell of Michell’s Place for organising our swap.
