In addition to some fantastic
pillows, I also received a second fun swap package last week, from Cherie of
Sew and So Quilts. Cherie and I met at Sewing Summit last year, and have been friends ever since. She found some adorable slippers on Pinterest and wondered if I could make her a pair. I did a test knit, making some
for myself to figure out the process first, then made some for Cherie. I sent them off along with some assorted goodies, many the same as in
Svetlana's package (and never thought to take a photo first, oops!). In exchange, she agreed to make me this wonderful holiday mini:
(I was too excited to iron this first, haha!)
I just love it! I have had this pattern (
from Purl Bee) on my to-do list for ages! I love that it was instead made by a friend, so that I can smile and think of her each Christmas when I hang it on my wall :)
She did a fantastic job, I adore all of the fabrics she chose, the quilting, the binding and backing...the whole shebang! Now I just have to pick up a dowel so I can hang it on my wall this holiday season, and for many more to come. Thanks so much for a great swap, Cherie!
Sweet mini quilt indeed.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to make some crafty friends! I love that Wall hanging! (I made a pillow version)
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous ; )
ReplyDeleteYou and Cherie, quite the dynamic duo!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Whose pattern is it?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good deal to me. It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is glorious, and I'm sure your slippers were too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you would feel about it, but I love putting stuff like that on branches found out it the yard.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to let you know that you have inspired me. I have started knitting. It is so much easier for me than crocheting. I haven't attempted anything fancy. I am sticking to scarves until after the holidays. Everything that you make is so beautiful and professional looking.
