At Last I Can Show You

I participated in a Blackbird Designs Exchange.  We were paired with another participant and each sent the other an exchange gift. 

This is the gift I received.  The lining on the bottom of the box is a photocopy of the cross stitch on the top of the lid printed on fabric. 

This is the gift I sent.  I also made thread winders to go in the needlework folder; I followed Alma's directions to make the winders.  Both of us dove into our stash to do the stitching and we both selected a design from A Schoolgirl's Work.   Mayté stitched Hannah's Small Basket based on Hannah E. Sunderlin's sampler.  I stitched So Fade My Hours Needlebook based on Mary Ann Melton's sampler.  I altered the lettering to create the personalization.
