After the Sewing Summit, there seemed to be an unending pool of energy and inspiration. Liz from Goddess in Progress decided we should take advantage of that and do a swap. I signed up nervous to make for someone from the Sewing Summit, which had an unending supply of creative women. In a funny twist, I received Valerie from Between Quilts and she received me. My camera took such dark photos so I am going to use her photos so you can see the pretty, vibrant fabrics. You can see her post here too!
Here is what I made her from Joel Dewberry Heirloom Fabrics with Orange Kona Solid.
I included a small pouch from RK Cupcake material and 2 fat quarters of Hullabaloo. I love that line!! I also love the Joel Dewberry. How could you not? I also included a produce bag from Daisy Jane's pattern. Valerie had already placed the bag with her shopping bags.
Here is what I received:
Jealous? I bet you are!! I remember when this was posted in the Flickr group. I wanted it to be mine but I didn't even think about hoping it would be. When I opened the box I was thrilled. I had said in my likes before the swap that I LOVED bright colors and she listened. I haven't done much with this mini quilt but stare and pet it. I am selecting a place to hang the mini quilt in my craft room, so I can always look at it for inspiration and creativity.
Thank you so much Valerie!! I can't even find words to describe how much I love it. Plus, you have encouraged me to not be afraid to try some circles soon!!
OK, Tracey - I think you are my new favorite person! You are so sweet and encouraging :). It makes me so happy to know you love the mini quilt. And I know I already said this, but I'll say it again! I love my pouch! I have it in my sewing room and it is such a bright and cheery spot in there. I don't know if I told you or not, but I have orange and aqua/blue as the main colors for decor in there - so that Citrine colorway of Heirloom is perfect! Thanks again. And can't wait to see your post-Christmas reveals!
