DQS9 Swap Quilt

Just a little peek at my swap quilt. It has to be finished tomorrow, and in the mail Wednesday, as it has far to travel. I had a hard time finalizing the design for this one, as my original idea just wouldn't come together. Just too far out of my personal box I guess. All I have to show for that try is about 24 three inch squares, and a basket of scraps. Oh well, it's a learning experience.

Here's a close up shot of some stitching. I definitely need a new machine. Now back to work!
I have one more surprise addition to finish! Note I said surprise!

The Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap

I received my stitched postcard from Cathie in Australia last weekend. I finally gave up on a sunny day, and took the pictures today in the gloom. She sent me this lovely handmade postcard inspired by this quilt she saw on my blog. She also sent a lovely handmade brooch and a recipe for chocolate freckle hearts, from her blog.

I can't wait to try them. I am sure that the boy will love them. Thanks so much Cathie!

Me? A winner?

A few weeks ago, much to my surprise, I was the winner of a copy of City Quilts, by Cherry House  
and a lovely fat quarter bundle of Kona cotton from Robert Kaufman. Cherry was having a blog tour to introduce her book, and so we could find out a little more about her. I was the lucky winner on Stefanie's blog. Well,this week, all my winnings arrived. Thanks to Stefanie, Cherry,(C&T Publishing) and Robert Kaufman. I can't wait to find time to make something.
