I received my treasured quilt from Robin Boggan.
Back side. Love, love, love this gorgeous vintage look print.
It was done in a Trip Around the World design and is proudly hanging on the wall in my sewing room. The sign below it was painted for me by my daughter. And the mini quilt below that was made by my friend across the pond, Kate Heads of Smiles From Kate. You can read her post about that here.
Robin also sent me the cutest pin cushion and it is now my most favorite pin cushion EVER!
Plus, those teeny tiny squares are just the cutest. I love it. I'll have to ask her what she used to stuff it. Whatever it is, it makes it nice and weighty. I almost had it stolen from me by my granddaughter who was convinced it was a bean bag.
I sent my quilt out to Merry in Washington State so we are practically neighbors. Here is what I sent to Merry.
I got the loveliest hand written Thank You note from Merry today contained inside this gorgeous quilt themed notecard. This is a picture from a book called Quilting Lessons by Ellen Curtis and Karen Gibson. I haven't read the book yet, but the authors sure do make lovely cards!
I will be linking to Lori's Humble Quilt Linky Exchange party where you will be able to view all the other wonderful quilts made in this year's swap. Lot's of beauty for your viewing pleasure! Can't wait for next year's exchange!

cute little quilts and the pincushion too - I have never gotten into making pin cushions but I have seen so many and a whole book out on pincushions as well - I use a dish with a magnetic in to to keep them in place but have little pincushions around but never seem to use them
ReplyDeleteHi Janice! What a fun quilt, and a pincushion just when you were seriously in need of one. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pin cushion. Have fun jabbing pins!! ☺
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky lady! And Merry was just as blessed! Did Robin use crushed walnut shells in that adorable pincushion?
ReplyDeleteOh, a friend of mine just showed off the quilt she received at our guild meeting (and also a replica of the quilt she sent) and it seems like the gorgeousness has been consistent across the swap. Thanks for linking up to What I Made Monday!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Janice!!! I love your mini quilt gallery. Wowey Zowey on your feather quilting!!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery quilt I saw in the Doll Quilt Swap has been beautiful. You all do good work!
ReplyDeleteHow precious! I may even join a mine quilt swap one of these days!
ReplyDeleteSo much eye candy in this post! The backing on the mini is so lovely - almost like receiving two quilts! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading about crushed walnut shells, I think they can be bought from pet shops as lizard bedding??? Thank you for the mention Janice it was such fun when we did that swap, so much so I think it's time we did another, don't you?
