I sent him some other goodies too and i was pleased to hear he liked them! This was my first exchange on the SBEBB and im glad i got Edgar's name!
I worked on CdC this week again for the Snowbirds SAL. We work on this one day a week but obviously as i work full-time, i normally only get a couple of hours in but im pleased with my progress. For those that have asked, im using Vikki Clayton silks called "marque des cercles."
I also have a new start to show. I started my JBW French Country Stocking. Im not sure if it'll be done in time for this Christmas though. Im using DMC115. 
Ive enjoyed reading your blogs this week and finding out how you all celebrated Thanksgiving. Obviously we dont have thanksgiving over here. How on earth you all cope with all the preparation for Thanksgiving and then Christmas i dont know....the 2 holidays are so close to each other. The Christmas build up seems crazy over here, months and months of build up. I love Christmas but dont enjoy the 4 month build up in the shops and on TV!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Your finish and WIPs are lovely. Isn't DMC 115 a great colour for Christmas stitching? :o)
The pinkeep is darling. Your other WIP are looking great.
I saw your pinkeep on Edgar's blog! Love it Cheryl...you did a super job!
Your CdC is looking fabulous too and you've gotten quite a lot done since last time :)

Hey Cheryl, I don't know about others, but we spend a lot more time preparing the food for Thanksgiving than we do for Christmas. I'm so happy I got to have a real Thanksgiving this year. We'll invite you two over next year for our annual Scottish Thanksgiving celebration!
And yes, I've picked up some beautiful fabrics while here. And I've still got one more week of shopping left!
Just gorgeous Cheryl! Great job!
Love how your Circ is looking - very pretty.
I know what you mean about the build-up to Christmas. One radio station here actually started playing Christmas songs the day after Halloween. CRAZY!
What a beautiful present! Edgar will love it, I'm sure. I love the finishing you did on the gameboard.
Lovely progress on CdC too!
The gameboard is just fabulous.
CDC is looking great as well.
Love the DMC 115 for the French stocking. Thanksgiving is for the food and Xmas is for giving, lol.
Super nice post, Cherly
Cheryl, u did a wonderful finish to your gameboard pinkeep. The pins colour are so matching to the cross-stitch design.
Lovely CDC there!
A great exchange piece. CdC is looking great. Looking forward to seeing more progress on your JBW piece.Ah the joys of DMC115!
A lovely exchange for Edgar, Cheryl. Well done on the pinkeep. And Cirque is coming along beautifully - much better than my Paradigm Lost LOL!
Ooh, lovely gameboard you stitched for Edgar. He must be rubbing his hands with mirth every time he looks at it!
Nice gameboard and your CdC is looking really nice!
I was tempted by that stocking, too... I think I'll watch you stitch yours first :)
Cheryl your game board turned out just lovely!
Your CDC looks fantastic! Yeah I only get a few hours as well on PL. Once the Castle is done I might up myself to 2 nights a week.
Great finish! I love the gameboard charts, yours turned out so cute :D
lovely finish :) Wish I had been mine ;) heheh
Lovely CdC, too :) Love the colours you picked.
Sorry I did not comment, had some server issues and had to move my entire website - still working on it.
Your gameboard piece turned out lovely, what a fun exchange packet you put together. Also, Cdc is looking great, and what a fun new start, the stocking seems to be very popular this year.

Nice finish on the gameboard! I can see why Edgar liked it! The CDC is coming along nicely and your new start looks terrific too.
Nice exchange and your WIP's are coming out great. I love DMC 115 too. :)
Really wonderful game board for Edgar - I'm so looking forward to my first SBEBB exchange - just got my name for the Winter House Exchange, hurrah! Glad to see you're well and progressing nicely on your WIPs - and loving your quilt, you're doing such a wonderful job on it, despite the other women having more time to devote to theirs - nothing like trying to work full time, keep the house clean and the husband fed and in clean clothes AND have a few hobbies on the side :) Roll on Christmas holidays...!!
Beautiful exchange Cheryl! Congratulations!!
You've done a fantastic job on that pinkeep! Lucky Edgar!
I love the colour you chose to do the stocking in. It's so rich looking.
