Sherry confirmed she received my package. Here's what I stitched. It's Princess and the Pea by Cross Eyed Cricket. It was supposed to be over two, but that would have made it huge. So instead I stitched it over one. The pea's a little large now, so you can see why the princess has trouble sleeping! My mom sewed the fabric mattresses together. Good thing because it was a pain!
I posted more pics on my website (warning, they're large). This was my first flat fold. I also sent her a bunch of stuff.
I'm working on The Awakening at the moment. I might finish the page this weekend. Sue wanted to know if I really could stitch two pages of a HAED in a month. Sure, I use the large-format pages. I stitched 5 pages a month before, when I was gung ho. Now 2 pages are more reasonable because I switch it up with other pieces.

That's so lovely! And it looks really good as a flatfold too :)
Beautiful finish and a great birthday exchange!
I LOVE that design. And it looks good with the fabric. Can I send mine to your mom when I get it stitched? ;) Great job on the flat fold, it's perfect for that design. I'll be stealing that idea too. (I just love your blog, so many good ideas to copy!)
What a neat finish! I love the fabric mixed with the stitching on that design. It looks really good as a flatfold :)
I've thought of making this one for my daughter. I LOVE how you finished it - it looks fantastic! And I bet it's going to be displayed in a place of honor! :)
I love what you made for Sherry. It's so pretty. I am still in awe that you can stitch 2 pages a month on a HAED never mind 5!!!
What a cute finish!! I just bought that pattern last month at my LNS. I'm not ready to tackle the fabric -- although it looks awesome -- so I'm thinking I'll probably stitch the whole thing (over 2) and frame it.....
You did great Michelle :)
Glad to know it arrives safely, as I am sure you are :)
VERY nice!
This is the CUTEST piece! I love the fabric you stitched it on and I love that it uses fabric mattresses within the stitched areas. Very cute. I think I might try my hand at a flat-fold. Yours came out beautifully!
Princess and the Pea is awesome!!! Congrats!
What a pretty gift, I wanted to post something on the stitching birthday/xmas blog but blogger won't let me. It's the whole new/old thing. It came out beautiful!
