I want to share with you the awesome stuff I've received from my recent swaps. My first ever swap was with Jessie of Inside The Paper Box. There is so much I love about this mini, the tiny little squares, the different shades of color and how they flow into each other, but most of all the quilting. My picture doesn't do it justice. Over to the right hand side are the loveliest flowers. It's so perfect and I'm honored to have it hanging in my sewing room. Thanks again Jessie for being such a great swap buddy! You can see what I made for her here.
After getting my feet wet with the private swap, I was lucky enough to join the X-Factor Pillow swap on Flickr. This beauty was voted number one and I got it! There are no words to express how happy I was to get this one. It came all the way from Germany and was made by Johanna. Her work on flickr is amazing! Even though its a pillow, I have it hanging in my sewing room so my 2 boys can't destroy it. This one truly brings me joy every time I see it.
The back is pretty too!
I'm in 2 more swaps going on right now and then I think I will take a break for a bit. I'm participating in round 5 of the X Factor swap and also the Fab Little Quilt Swap on Flickr. I can't reveal the pillow I made for XFactor yet but here is a mockup of my plan for the FliQS.
I need to get cutting for this one. I think it's gonna be pretty cool. Thank you for reading!Happy sewing,
Melissa
