It’s gorgeous! I’ve also never seen this finish before, the back is crochet as well.

I am so glad you like it! It is not Prairie Schooler, but there is very little backstitching, which is what I like! I hope the cardboard insert didn’t get bent…it looks like it is still pretty flat!
I wasn’t going to finish it, but I happened to have stumbled over the yarn while I was packing it coincidentally had the same colors! I’ll do a separate post to explain it better.
It didn’t get bent, it feels very sturdy! I think there’s also some sort of batting inside?
It’s not official prairie schooler, but it’s very spring/summery, and we didn’t swap officially, so no rules were broken! It’s very beautiful. This summer I hope to get my craft room painted and then I’m going to cover the walls with beautiful things. Mr Imma is going camping and I need him out of the house and out of my way, so I can drag my whole craft room into the bedroom temporarily.

Yes, it is batting over a piece of cardboard.
I know it was not official prairie schooler…I just wanted to make that pattern for some time!
Once I can swap again, I promise to dig out my real prairie schooler patterns! ha

I received from @immaculata! I laughed because it looks like we both like and picked the same designer from Satsuma Street! All of the designs are colorful and simple but have loads of detail.
@Immaculata made the cutest pouch out of it with colors picked out of the piece for the front, back and lining! I am going to use it to hold my smaller pattern pieces, notes and ideas.
She also sent a very cool magazine with a free project to keep me busy until I can settle in my new home. There was some citrus flavored teas (yummy!) and some Stroopwafels (don’t look too close
at the package…it is empty because I ate them already!)
I’m glad you liked it!! The bottom three are Prairie Schooler designs, although only the “tea” one is stitched like it was designed, I changed the colours of the other two.
As @AIMR helped me out in the previous prairie schooler swap by sending me a paper pattern I couldn’t get in my country I wanted to send something extra as a thank you, so basically this is two swap packages in one.

I recognized the bird…I probably have it one my wish list, but now I can pick something else!
Anytime you need a pattern, let me know…I am currently in love with a designer called Stitchy Princess. I have five her designs on my wishlist. Maybe in the fall or late summer we can do a stitchalong or swap with one of her designs. I like them because you can do a large design or just pick one of the smaller pieces or mix and match!
The advent calendar is also lovely…too many patterns, not enough time!
