Melanie’s Exchange Parcel from Bine

Lookie, lookie at what I came home to this evening! A lovely package from Bine in Germany for the SBEBB Melanie’s Exchange. You’ll even see the nice wrapping paper in which she placed everything. I artfully tried to cover up the end where I ripped open the paper like a kid at Christmas. 😉 I was well-rewarded for my ripping efforts, too. Inside were all sorts of goodies! Bine stitched a beautiful scissors fob for me with the overdyed floss and beads that she was sent. And whoever sent those materials chose very well, too! I love the color of the floss and the beads are one of my favorite colors from Mill Hill. Bine turned these yummy materials into an even yummier finished product – a Sweetheart Tree scissors fob! Yay! One of my favorite designers! She did a perfect job of the finishing, as well. I’ll be able to use this as an example of what I need to do when I stitch and put some of these together myself some day. Brava Bine!

Of course, she also included some great goodies, as well. She included “a piece of the fabric that she used for the fob” which translates into a huge chunk of linen, the leftover floss and beads, some extra beautiful beads, a pretty German chart and a nice pad to capture my copious notes to myself. She put together a perfect package for me! Make sure you stop by Bine’s blog and let her know what a wonderful job she did with this exchange. 😀

    Awesome fob — interesting finish. Do you think she added the beads while she sewed the front & back together? I’ll have to remember to give it a try.

    Beautiful colors! Excellent stitching : )
