F&S Exchange for May

Yes ~ I have been stitching!  I'll prove it by sharing photos of 2 squares I sent off to my F&S exchange partner, Renee.  They haven't been "officially" acknowledged yet on the F&S blog but she said she had received them as of a week ago so here goes.

I picked 3 things from her list of "likes" and focused on those:  French designs, birds and the color teal.  I was going to go with a creme linen but Lois at Elegant Stitch talked me into the white as it would show off the teal more and I agree.  The name of the thread was "really teally"!   

The pattern for the squares came from Atalie.  I found a site online, The Thread Basket, that carries French patterns.  I plan to stitch all 3 of these later for myself. 

I've also been stitching on the autum version of the winter sheep I did last year but I'm not thrilled with the colors so I'm finding it's slowing me down.
