Swap Love, Part 2

Now that my swap partner, Kristi received the package I sent to her, I can tell you about it. Be sure to also get the run down from Kristi, via her blog!
Note: I forgot to take pictures of my items before sending them off to Kristi, but she has mad photography skills, so the pictures below are courtesy of Kristi.

Remember, the purpose of this swap was to make something cute for the others' bathroom. Kristi had just finished remodeling her bathroom and she chose aqua as the new color base.

A while back, she embroidered this amazing lady for her bathroom, so I started thinking of "mod" style designs.

After brainstorming over 3 basic ideas: aqua, mod, and French knots, I embroidered this:


I decided to embroider on linen, with the original intention of stretching it over canvas. But with the design, it really looked best with some sort of frame / border surrounding it, so I put it in a pretty white frame.


This piece measures approximately 9" x 12", so it took a little while. Not to mention all the French knots! Kristi says there are over 300 French knots! Whew boy!



I also sent her other goodies including: embroidery books, a zippy pouch I made, and an embroidered tea towel. You can see the rest of her loot here.

I have participated in swaps before, but this was Kristi's first, and I have to say this was the best one yet!
