So now I can reveal what my secret stitching was. I stitched a biscornu on 32 ct 'la creme' opal linen by Sugarmaple. Half was Debbies Roses and the other half was Manuelas Sunflower, but without its scrollwork. Instead I added some personalisation to the design to mark the exchange and I also added a Ladybug charm and Just Nans Sparkle Bee which is my favourite charm.
I will work on my finishing this year to try to make a few needlebooks/rolls and scissor fobs so I have some differnet items to send. But as I'm still very new to finishing and I wanted to send out something well made I played it safe this time with a biscornu ;-)
