I've just finished my piece for the VSCyberstitchers July Exchange. This exchange is a little different from many others in that we can show pictures of the piece we are sending in advance, we just can't say to whom we are sending it.
Anyway my mystery recipient will be receiving this little thread roll (or I suppose she could use it as a small jewellery roll instead if she wanted).

Rolled Up
It's stitched with Victorian Motto Sampler Threads on a piece of Crafty Kitten fabric (I think, I've mislaid the bag I took it out of). The lining is made from offcuts of silk dupion, with mother of pearl thread rings. I was really lucky to find the embroidered piece of dupion, I think it matches the colours and theme of the stitching. rather nicely.
The quote is from "A Winter's Tale", design by me.
I hope she likes it.

WOW .... that is stunning ... are you sending to me?? eerrr no thought not lol.
Beautiful stitching and finishing! I know I would be a happy recipient of that!
such lovely stitching. I really like the way you used the hearts as a place to hang the threads, that's really clever. I have to say though, the mention of A Winter's Tale sent a shiver down my spine. We had to study it for A level English and I didn't enjoy a single second of it!
This is outstanding and enough to make me wish that I'd signed up for JEG this year.
The dupioni is exquisite and the colors perfection...Want my address?
If the intended recipient doesn't want it, you could always send it to me! :-)
It's gorgeous!!
This is fabulous. I know that she will love it to pieces. It has her colors. But, and I am only saying "But", you can always sent it to me first for approval

What a beautiful exchange. I could never bear to give it away. The backing fabric you used is just perfect.
Very pretty! You did such lovely work! Someone is going to be very happy. :)
It's beautiful. I'm envious
That is a real work of art, lovely. I love the way you have used the lining fabric as inspiration for the flowers.
I am quite envious of the recipient!
Oooh Christine that is beautiful! I am green with envy!
Are you selling the chart please?! With finishing instructions? Hehe
Beautiful! She will love it!
