It's Beginning to Look~~

~~quite festive at my house! My mini and blocks from Bingo-Bonnie arrived on Friday! :-) And I was so surprised by Bonnie's mini! I love it! And it fits perfectly on my hall hanging rod. :-))

Bonnie sent the label separately (the cute little embroidered tree), so I need to pull out a needle and get it attached, but I just had to hang it up right away! LOL Thanks Bonnie!!

She also sent another 12 blocks for our block swap. In case I haven't mentioned it lately, we are swapping MyBlueHeaven blocks from QuiltersCache. We did re-size the pattern for our quilts, and we decided to have all the larger HST's with blue and the smaller ones scrappy. I am loving how all of our blocks are turning out! This will be a quilt for the new year. :-)

Thanks for visiting with me and until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Grinnin' From Ear to Ear!!

My friend Bingo~Bonnie and I are doing a mini quilt swap patterned after a swap that the gals on doing on HGTV. Awhile back I showed y'all a peek of the mini I was making for her in a post HERE. Well, guess what I got a few minutes ago?!! :-)))) 'My mini' from Bonnie! Before I show it to you, let me just say she has been teasing me these last few weeks with peeks and blog postings. She showed a marbled pic like the one I showed. She mentioned she was hand quilting a part of it~ she even showed it wrapped up like an envelope! :-o (she drew the cutest acorn on the label! :-)

And ya know, all the teasing was so worth it!! LOL
Just look at this wonderful fall mini!! I love the colors! I love the pattern! I love, love, love her hand quilting!!! :-)

The only thing, and its very 'minor' is...
Bonnie! I had such a time getting through all the tape!!! :-)) I am now re-thinking how I wrapped yours! I think hubby may have some heavy duty duct tape...maybe I should re-wrap! LOL :-))

Here is a photo of the tape... but I also got a shot of the border and her lovely hand quilting, so maybe all that tape isn't so noticeable? :-)) Just look at the leaves and flowers~ they are perfect! As for the tape~ sorry you used a whole roll and now I'm throwing it away. ;-) LOL It sure was a lot to work through~ especially when you are so excited you just can't wait!!! LOL :-)) ~~Just teasing you Bonnie!~~ :-) I will treasure my mini from you forever! :-) {{hugs}}

Oh!~ just to tease you a bit more~~ here is the back of yours (below). ;-))) I had to cover the label, and I don't think this photo will give away too much of what it actually looks like. :-) The back is harvest toile. :-) It'll be in your hot little hands as soon as my last swapper's blocks show up! ;-)


Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!
