Tralala recipe book

This is actually an older post from my previous cross stitching blog, so some of you might have seen this before. 

My stitching friend Virpi and I did a private Birthday exchange this year and this recipe book was the main gift that I made for Virpi.

The design is by Tralala and stitched with DMC and Atalie thread on 32ct. Jobelan.

The book was only one part of the exchange. If you would like to see the whole package please visit Virpi's blog here.

And this is how the recipe book looks on the inside.

Now to my newer stitching progress. I have finished a few smaller designs during this last two month, but they still need complete finishing. I hope to have them ready by beginning of October and then I will show you some more pictures.

Birthday exchange from Virpi

My friend Virpi and I had a private birthday exchange and while she got her gift already in March (I wrote about it) I received mine last month, in June. I mend to post picture right after I received this wonderful gift, but I had too many other things on my plate.

Anyway, here are few photos of what I got.

Virpi sew this beautiful brown totebag with a peacock design by Samplers & Santas. The pear pin pillow design is also by Samplers & Santas. Besides those beautifully stitched gifts I also got some new stash. Three colours of Nina's hand-dyed threads and plenty ribbons and lace also from Nina, a little gem scissor in brown and one more project bag that is perfect for my knitting projects.

I can't tell you how much I love my Birthday gift. Thank you so much Virpi.
