I received my Spring Blooms mini quilt!!!!

I am so excited to share this with you. Today, the mail man came and I received my beautiful Spring Blooms Mini Quilt. I opened the package as quickly as I could and found this unbelievably beautiful quilt from Julie. It came all the way from Australia. My heart skipped a beat when I opened the package and saw the quilt. I was so amazed. The quilt is so beautifully done. The colors, the quilting, the appliques are so beautiful. I'm sooooo happy. I'm going to hand it up in my dining room. I will treasure it always. Julie, I thank you so much for making me this wonderful quilt. It's amazing.

I also want to thank Michele for organizing this wonderful swap. It was a lot of fun.

I know I hadn't posted for over a week. I had to go out of town and just got back yesterday. I've worked on a few projects while I was away. I will share them with you over the next couple of days. I hope you are all well.

Happy Stitching!!!

I finished my spring mini quilt for my swap partner!!

Hi everyone, today I finally finished the mini quilt I was making for the Spring Mini Quilt Swap. I machine quilted it and put the binding on. I also put it in the mail for my swap partner. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get there. I like the way it ended up. The quilting is good considering I haven't done much free motion machine quitling. It's not perfect, but it looks good. It will make a cute little wall hanging. I hope my partner likes it. Considering I designed the whole thing myself, it turned out nice. Well, I finally have a finish for June. Yeah!! I can add it to my list for the OPAM challenge. Well, I'm going to lay down for a short little nap. I'm a bit tired today. So hope you all have a great day.

Happy Stitching!!

Progress on my Spring Blooms Mini-Quilt Swap

Hi everyone, Thanks to all of you who have entered my giveaway. There is still time to enter. So go down to the next post to enter the giveaway. I got up way to early this morning. So I decided that I should use that quiet time to start my Spring Blooms Mini Quilt for my swap partner. Yes, that's right, I just started this morning. I was a bit behind schedule. But I think I did redeem myself. I completed the top of my mini quilt. I designed it myself. It's all done by machine using fusible web applique. I really like the way it has turned out. I've had this vision of what I wanted to make for the longest time. I finally got to actually try it out. It turned out pretty good. Now I just have to make sure I don't ruin it with the quilting. Well, hopefully my partner will like it. It's different. Not a traditional mini quilt. But I'm trying new things and trying to be really creative with my projects. Well, that's all for today.

Happy Stitching!!
