I belong to the ILCS Yahoo Group and we recently held a "Froggy Exchange" in honor of our beloved moderator Rene le Frog. Rene had not been feeling well, had been in and out of the hospital and then was unexpectedly diagnosed with Cancer. It was quite advanced and only a couple short weeks after the diagnosis Rene left us for cross-stitch heaven.Rene was a guiding force behind the ILCS group and while I only "knew" her for a couple of years she was an amazing woman who was truly kind, supportive and helpful to her fellow cross-stitchers. She was also a loving Wife, Mother, and Grandmother and enjoyed sharing her family and stitching with us all. She is greatly missed by all of us who knew her in the online cross-stitch world.
I recently received my exchange from Marl in Canada. She "caught" one of her frogs while she was ripping out stitching and sent her to me in the form of scissor fob. Isn't it just adorable? She also sent along this cute felt bag with an appliqued froggy king on it, and some wonderful cotton floss from Carrie's Creations. I can't wait to try out the floss. Thank you Marl for your awesome exchange gift!You'll have to wait to see what I stitched for the exchange until the recipient receives it. I mailed it out today, so I should be able to post pictures by the end of next week. I had fun stitching the piece I did and when the idea for the froggy exchange came up I knew EXACTLY what to stitch for it.
As always, thank you for visiting my little piece of blogland and have a wonderful weekend!
