Scrappy trips



I signed up for another round of scrappy trips, so I thought I should lay out my blocks to show what I have.  Silly Pepé couldn't be bothered to move! 

There will only be one more round unless someone else steps up :(

Harry Potter mini quilt swap

I have loved Harry Potter since it came out, first the books, then the movies.  There was a mini quilt swap for Harry Potter, so I had to sign up!

This is what I made my partner.  A mini with the crest.  I also sent along some gryffindor goodies.


Here is what my partner sent me!  She made the wrapping paper herself!! and look at those adorable cross stitch characters!!


 Here is my mini, the picture is kind of crappy because I took the picture in my car, and I keep forgetting to take a picture in the house!  She said this was her first mini and I think she did LOVELY!!!

Dog Mini


Here is the mini my foster daughter made for the dog mini swap.  She found the design and I helped her with it.


For the quilting she decided on wavy lines through the whole thing.


And here is the mini she received.  She was floored!  She loves it so much, she hung it in her bedroom right after opening it!

Passport holder



I've been doing swaps on instagram, and although I have been only trying to sign up for mini quilt swaps there have been a few that I had to sign up for!  This was a fun little thing to make up.  I made a few to try to sell at the craft fair this year.

Christmas in July

Here is another swap I was in.  Christmas in July!  It was nice getting a Christmas package in July.

This is what I received, a mini wall hanging and some notions.


I made my partner a table runner that is double sided.  One side was trees and the other leaves.

Painting night



We had a lot of guests this summer.  One my friends is kind of artsy, so I asked if she wanted to do a "paint night" but instead of going out, we did it at home.  We found a picture we liked and did something similar.

The one of the left is my friends, the one in the middle is mine, and the right one is my foster daughters.  I love how we all looked at the same picture but they all came out different!
