My quilt from Rina in Italy arrived. How perfect the friendship stars are considering we are new friends!?! That cheddar star makes the whole thing sparkle!!
Here's the cool backing and the hand stitched label. Thank you Rina, It will be treasured!
Darn, this photo is upside down, but Rina also included this hand made hot pad and beautiful earrings her daughter made. So pretty!
Here's the little quilt I sent to Rina. I couldn't find a photo so had her send me one. (duh!)
I can't remember if I shared this on my blog, but my friend Laurie made this for me to thank me for hosting the swap. Thank you again Laurie! I love it.
And Danice sent this cute mug rug!My first and only mug rug was made by
Pam, Library Gal Quilts and I'm afraid it has seen better days- I use it always! Thank you Danice.
These two little dresses came all the way from France. I'll be bringing them all the way to Peru with me this fall. Thank you dear Cecile!! They are adorable!! (thanks for the little candies too!)
Here's my instagram feed for this week if you missed it.
Have a wonderful weekend. I plan on it!
I like how the internet and quilt blogs have connected us to quilters in other parts of the world. Sharing in ways our quilters of the past never would have even dreamed of.
ReplyDeleteOMG all these quilts are so cute !! I can't wait to discover them all !
ReplyDeletePatchwork is all around the world and makes friendship a reality.....
I like the Friendship Stars. I put them in the Doll Quilt I sent to Nebraska. It was a fun Swap! Fabrics from different parts of the world is amazing, like a quilting Bee basket of scraps of yesteryear.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts from her and you. I also love the dresses, such beautiful material.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I can get back on the sewing machine this year, have lots to catch up on and lots to relearn.

ReplyDeletecute quilts!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the doll quilt swap and was super pleased with the one I received. There were so many lovely doll quilts! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely quilts and your swap quilt has travelled far! Such a difference when I started quilting in the late 1980's...... no internet, more difficult to connect and keep in touch with quilters from far away...
