Quaker from Jodi

I'm closing my September post with the private quaker exchange I recieved from Jodi. I was like a 7 yo girl so anxious to open a surprise gift on her birthday. This is my first time to see Jodi's stitching up close and personal... all i can say is, her works is fabulous!... and she's so generous to include hand-dyed fibers (from The Thread Gatherer and Victorian Motto) and another walnut thread organizer in the package. I've been smiling ear-to-ear, you made my day Jodi, my dear friend... Thank you so much for everything! Words could not express how much you made me happy.

Stitched on hand-dyed 32 count Glory Lugana

using The Thread Gatherer-Frosted Auburn

For a brief history of this exchange, it's supposed to be a "quaker purse" exchange but I learned from Jodi that her other online friends usually do the finishing for her. Since I love finishing, I suggested that she can just send me the stitched piece and I'll finish it myself... and I of course, will send a finished purse.:) If you wanna know what kind of finishing I'll gonna do with this piece, come back in a day or so.

Also, today is my Tatay's 61st birthday. Happy birthday Tatay! Tatay is a tagalog/filipino term which means Daddy or father.:)

Thank you everybody for dropping by!
