My first attempt at a fob....

This is my first, well, actually the second, pathetic attempt at a scissors fob. They looked pretty easy to me, and they are, but I just happen to suck at whatever kind of stitching it is you do to close the gap when you make little pillows. You'll see in my other ornaments I finished today that they suck, too. The first little fob I tried to make was so cute - a teeny weeny little house and tree by Bent Creek, stitched one-over-one on 32-count linen. Problem number one was that I cut it too small for making into a little pillow, so when I turned it inside out some of the design was in the stitches. Second, since I'm so bad at doing the stitching, and the linen kept coming apart, I couldn't close it. Into the trash it went. Next, I stitched this little guy, from the Told in a Garden Bookmarks collection. See the uneven dent in the bottom? That's where I did my hand stitching after machine stitching the rest. Oh well. The person who receives it will also receive an explanation and the hope that she sees it as "rustic."
Fob in the Mail
The fob I stitched has been mailed; went out on Tuesday. Hope my assigned partner likes it :)
Happy Stitching,

Fob on its way
My fob, too, is on its way :-)
It has a long long way to travel and I am already excited if it will suit the likes of my partner.
I will not say too much ;-) therefore, I stop here, it's safer :-)

Our First Exchange is Underway!
All the partner names and mailing addresses were emailed out tonight. Please let me know if you didn't receive your email from me or if you have questions, etc. I am so excited to see all the finishes and more importantly to get to know everyone better. We have a wonderful group from all corners of the world - it is amazing how stitchers reach out to one another no matter where they live.
I have added a poll to the blog asking what projects we are interested in making. You may choose more than one answer - please mark any you are interested in doing. If you have a suggestion for others not listed, please let me know. The poll results will determine what we stitch next so if you have a preference, please vote for the ones you want. I will be adding links to tutorials for making the items we choose.
Please take a moment to review our guidelines before you start stitching your fobs! And now, on your mark..... get set...... start stitching!!
