No problem Bev, I'm under the impression that we must mail them on (or before) Valentine's Day and I'm cutting mine to the wire! Hoping to get them done tonight and then get them ready for mailing on Thursday and in the the mail Friday. This is getting exciting!

Oh Bev! Those look gorgeous, I think I am one lucky gal to be partnered with you! I can't wait until I receive them. I'm afraid they put mine to shame, you are a much more accomplished embroiderer than I am! Yours are going in the mail today.

Lucky me,
Audrey

Heather,
I got my pillowcases today and just love them. Good job! I love the thread you used. Can I ask what kind it is? What a fun treat to have a package in the mail for me on Valentine's day. I opened the mailbox and thought "oh someone at our house got a package". I knew it wouldn't be me since I hadn't ordered anything and didn't expect anything. Surprise! It was for me and what a nice treat to have new pillowcases and fun vintage patterns to stitch someday. Hope all is well in New York. It has been fun getting to know a little about you and where you live. Best Wishes and Thanks Again,

barnagainkristin

You're very welcome. I am so happy they came! The thread is called "sulky blendables". 12 WT, it's supposed to be the same as 2 strands of DMC, 30WT is supposed to be the same as one strand of DMC. http://www.sulky.com/thread/thread_blendables.php

I'm glad you liked the patterns as well. :) It was fun stitching. :)

Here's the pics for every one else. :)

That is one of the new Aunt Martha patterns, I got it at either Hobby Lobby or Hancocks on vacation, I can't remember which.

Thank you for the kind compliment. :)

Good job Jessie, Heather and Kristin and Bev! They are all so cute! Can't wait to see pictures of the others. I'm sitting on pins and needles until I receive my package. It's like Christmas all over again! Bev, I put yours in the mail yesterday, hope they don't take too long. This has been my first swap and I've had a ball!

There here! There here! And there even more gorgeous than the picture Bev posted! They feel so luxurious Bev! I'm assuming you made them from scratch? The cases themselves are yummy, a good hefty weight cotton, but SOFT. You can see from the picture the beautiful dusty lavender bow but not so much the delicate, pink hearts the bows attach to dotted by tiny blue flowers. Oh, I just love them! Makes me want to take mine back and completely redo them! Oh well, I guess next swap...

Ladies, if you ever join another swap, get partnered with Bev! Thank you, thank you, thank you Bev!

Beverly....those are GORGEOUS! Just the type of design I love! What kind of material do you use for your pillowcases? I wanted to make the cases too since the "kits" I have seen don't seem to be printed on very good cotton material. Thanks! And congrats to the new owner!

Hi, I used 200 count muslin for the fabric and the design is just aunt martha's no. 3880. hearts and hummingbirds. But if anyone gets a swap partner next time make sure it is Audry because I got them in the mail today and they are out of this world beautiful!!! her's make mine look like an amateur. They are absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE them....and it was a good day that I got them today. something is going around in our area in fact the school closed for 2 days because so many kids are out sick. anyway, I am feeling under the weather and to get them today just brightened my day up totally!!!! The calendar has beautiful pictures in it too and I needed one too, so that was a bonus!!!! Oh I am so pleased. Thank you so much!!! They are wonderful!!!! Bev

Thanks for the info Beverly! I am going to go look on the internet for the "supplies" so I be ready for the next swap! I wish I could see ALL the swap pillowcases. They sound awesome!
Hope you feel better and don't catch "IT".

I just wanted to Thank Marcy Jo for the beautiful pillowcases, I absolutely love them. The pattern was very pretty and her handwork was very,very nice. I have to give her props for patience and understanding as hers just went out on Thursday. Lot going on but wanted to tell her Thank You and God Bless.
