stitchin'

Doing a little stiching on my quilt for Doll Quilt Swap 6
I've done some hand peicing, and some machine peicing,
and now a little blanket stitch
My partner is also a 1930's lover
I'm hoping they'll love this little cutie!

Inspired

For the January swap in our 6-12" mini the theme was
'be inspired by the quilts of Gee's Bend'
This is the mini I sent to Toni
ispired by this quilt

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed making it!

What Sylvie sent me!

The Three Bears!
a beautiful French version of the story
a letter, and drawing from her daughter
and some yummy chocolate covered marshmallow bears

aren't they sweet!

2 more swaps, 1 more project completed

Here is a little swap I received from Anne, in my online patchn'quilt group
The word was Christ
I received

• Cushion, 10cm Xmas Ohio star
  
• Hand Towel and washer
• Ribbon
• Interfacing
• Sewing cotton
• Tea pot holder
• & a little picture Anne had done with wax and an iron of her fish tank

(I couldn't find the cushion for the photo as Tessa has ferreted it away for her dolls)

This is the little 1930's quilt I received from Bonnie in
'Another Little Quilt Swap'
She chose 2 of my favourite colors pink & green
Tessa has also claimed this one for her doll cot.

Finally a couple of projects for the Kinder teacher and Assistant

Now that it's arrived!

Here is the latest Mini that I sent to Olivethebeach.
The theme this month was Owls/Mushrooms.
I decided to go with the Mushroom/toadstool route.
What do you think?

DQS4 arrived

Here is the gorgeous quilt I received today from Adds at 'The Humming Cat'
The fabric is 'Amy Butler', and it is so rich and scrumtious!
(I wish it were a full size quilt)
Adds also sent us a cute matching pin cushion,
Tessa is using it as a pillow....

Thanks Adds!
