The Final Swap Quilts! On The Slow Boat!

 Back in June I posted this on the Humble Quilts facebook group inquiring on the last 3 quilts taking the "slow boat" on their journey to their swap partner. LOL 

 All was silent. On July 6 I posted this one. The little quilts must be on an even smaller and slower boat to their destination! LOL

And then TADA! 

 The first quilt arrived from Japan! Cynthia made this for Robin. 

Then boom, the next quilt arrived! This was destined for Sicily, Italy to Rina from Mary Ellen. 

Then bada bing! The 3rd and final quilt of the swap arrived from Sicily, Italy! Made by Rina for Wendy. 

So wonderful they all eventually made it. 

Who knew when we started this it would take months to wrap up the swap! This is one for the books!! LOL

Thank you all for your patience. Looks like they were all worth the wait!

All 70 swap quilts are up on the Linky Party. See it HERE. 

Much love

2020 Humble Quilts Exchange- Linky Party

My little quilt made it on the slow boat from Australia!! Whoop! Whoop!

Marian was my partner and I always enjoy her quilts and thoughtfulness. 

She had saved a photo of a make-do antique and she knew I would appreciate and love it! And she was right! Thank you Marian!!

I love this awesome toile. It seems like it is getting harder to find. 

 A little label written directly on the back of the quilt. 

We will show the quilt we RECEIVED. If you do not have a blog but the person who made your quilt does, they can post a link to their blog post showing your quilt. (Feel free to make 2 separate blog posts showing both quilts)

You can also share from Instagram now.

You can also share from your desktop!

When adding your link please link up the specific blog post, not just your blog. If you need help let me know. I also know many of you are still waiting for your quilt. The linky will be open most of the month so we can get them all here. I really love seeing them all in one place!

Humble Quilt 2020 Swap Update

This was the antique little quilt I opted to copy. It was unusual!

I coffee-dyed mine although this photo looks very bright.

I really need to take this post to say we all need to be patient when

 it comes to receiving our little quilts. 

International mailing: I asked those swappers who were international if there was a problem with mailing overseas. At the time, there wasn't, now there seems to be. I know one person is waiting to mail to Italy as the flights in and out of Europe are very few. I've been waiting patiently for my little quilt to come from Australia. I have no doubt it will come  and I will be thrilled when it does.

USA mail: I know the US Postal Service is a bit overwhelmed right now with way more packages then usual. Please be patient. When you have asked me to email a recipient, I don't mind. When I don't hear back I worry someone may have fallen sick.

Let's just be patient, please.

The deadline to mail was extended to May 9th. If you haven't sent your quilt yet, please add your email so the recipient can thank you. 

If you have received a quilt and haven't had a chance to thank your partner, please do that now. 

Not everyone is on the facebook group so please don't rely on that as a thank you.

If you have sent me a photo of your little quilt I am saving it for a linky party which will likely take place at the end of May. 

Thank you all for the time and effort you've put in to making your little quilts! So many sweet quilts!!

And just for fun:

Humble Quilt Swap- Update

My little swap quilt was inspired by an antique. This was my start. My quilt is packaged and heading across the international timeline to its destination.  I've extended the mail date to May 9th. Please do your best to get your little quilt completed and in the mail by this date. Sooner is even better. 

 I've been getting antsy so made my way out for a  sunrise hike on Saturday. 

 Close by was another trail I've been wanting to hike and it was open. These rock formations are called palisades. (palisades mean  a line of bold cliffs) Yes they were! 

I passed a horse camp on the way. Coolest old barn/

Easter dessert. Homemade shortcake with strawberries and mimosas. 

I'm still having issues getting comments to come to my email. Sorry for the hassle!

I hope your weekend was blessed. 

Much love
