Relief at Last!

I'm happy to report that the mini quilt I made for Emma finally arrived, and was well received . It's always a little nerve wracking waiting for it to go halfway around the world, (Australia). I am so happy that she liked it. I can only aspire to her level of quilting.

Now to anxiously await the next round, DQS10.

DQS9 Swap Quilt Received

I received my mini quilt from the amazing Desi last weekend. I love it so much. She really nailed this one for me. I think she really was stalking me. As a thank you, I'm popping a little surprise in the mail for her tomorrow. I hope she likes it as much as I like my quilt!

Now I just have to keep waiting to hear if the quilt I sent to my secret DQS9 partner arrives. I hope she likes it as much as I like mine. I'll hopefully get to show the finished quilt to you all soon.

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!
