Next, the doll quilt swap. I joined many other doll quilt lovers in a swap on Lori's blog, Humble Quilts. We were to make a doll quilt for our swap partner out of civil war fabric. Here is the quilt I received from Lynn in Chicago.
She blogs at klein meisje quilts and talks a little more about her quilt there. She used the Temecula Quilt Co 12 Days of Christmas pattern and some really fun fabrics to make my quilt. I am enjoying looking at all the fabrics, thank you Lynn! ! ! It is a sweet little quilt!
The quilt I made went to Merry in Mount Vernon, WA. I used a pattern on Kathleen Tracy's web site, Country Lane Quilts, for a little nine patch doll quilt.
It is made from fabrics I received in several swaps on the Small Quilt Talk group over the last couple of years. I love scrappy little quilts! It is hand quilted and since it is made of small pieces and has hearts in the border fabric and quilted into the corner blocks, I named it Pieces of My Heart. Merry loves it, too. She sent me a very sweet thank you with some wonderful candy, some pretty fabric and an adorable little box to store small things in. I will have to take a picture of that soon, except for the candy, it is gone!
This was a very fun swap, Lori did a great job coordinating it and my swap partners were wonderful, too.
In other quilting, I continue to work on the Churn Dash quilt and I am close to being done with quilting it. Still a label and binding to be done though.
Enjoy your day!
