At this weekends PALS Fall Fling retreat, I was so shocked and delighted to be given lovely gifts from friends who wanted to donate to my Pink Basket! Stitching friends are the best and these beautiful gifts truly touched me... Not only was I surprised at their generosity, I was humbled that they took the time to do such a kind act....
Karen made me the prettiest pin pillow called "Eat, Pray, Love"....darling pink handmade pins were included also~ And, Charlene made the "Hugs" pillow with darling tatting attached... That is a TRUE talent and the tatting is so delicate.... Also, Linda NC gave me the prettiest Kelmscott scissors called "Pink Snips" for breast cancer awareness...They are so nice and I LOVE them~~ Thanks to all of you~ It truly touched me to recieve these amazing gifts!!
And, here is the backside of Karen's pin pillow....She and Michele used beads to accent the back with the pink ribbon.... Putting our names on it makes it very special Karen!
Michele and Karen also surprised me with a bright pin pillow, handmade pins and a scissor fob using all those perfect beachy colors..... I LOVE it ALL!!~
I had made Karen this pin pillow to carry as a little thank you for all the hard work she has put in making our "Friends Stitching through the Seasons Exchange" such a success this year... Alot of hard work has gone into this exchange by Karen and I just wanted her to know how much I appreciated it....It has turned to be one of my favorite exchanges!

And, I wanted to thank Amy as well for organizing the PALS Fall Fling retreat with this small pillow.... I thought it might remind her of the autumn season and how many of us stitchers count on going to PALS and reuniting with one another.... Thanks again Amy for all you do~~!
