Pin Cushion Swap

Earlier this fall I hosted a pin cushion swap. I made a kitty-cat pincushion for my partner and also included a kitty-cat pillowcase:

I Spy A Swap

I am participating in Sewing in the Wendy City's I Spy swap part Deux. Here are my 20 sets of 10 ready to go:

Here are the prints:

Bows, chickens, starfish
snowflakes, paw prints, cherries, dogs
bees, letters, stars

I didn't even have to buy any for this swap. I had them all in my stash (imagine that, lol).

I can't wait to see what I get back!

Friendship Bag Swap

Remember the cute green and pink little bag I blogged about a few posts back? Well, here's the cutie that I received in the swap. Jenn at Frugal Front Porch made mine. She also included a handmade Christmas ornament and a cute key chain and some other goodies. Didn't she do a great job? I love the colors of the bag.

I need a bigger design wall!

Okay folks, I got home from church tonight, and this was waiting on the table:
In it you ask? These ...
Yep, you counted right, that's 80 pink and brown SBS blocks from the recent swap. All are so beautiful - I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow so that I could stay home and go through them. I'm thinking a dark brown for the sashing. Anyone have any other suggestions? If I get a chance, I will be making 8 more so that the ones I sent in are included. Nearly every block has a 4" label that I will somehow use in the quilt.

To wet your appetite, here are some that caught me eye first:
What a beautiful bouquet.

I'm definitely a brights girl.

Isn't this pink scrumptious? I love the hearts.

Such precision!

Hopefully in the next week or so I'll get a spreadsheet of who sent me what so I can credit and thank everyone. Til then, enjoy these photos!

SBS blocks in mail

EDIT: I forgot, these count as a Waun-a-Finish :-D. Woo hoo, finish #2. Not bad for slow me.

Here are my long awaited SBS blocks.
I'm in my group meeting for
school right now, but will be done (or leave early) to make it to the PO before noon. I had my friend give me directions to the one here in University City since I didn't have a clue where one was located.
They'll be over-nighted to C, who's running the swap and she'll begin the swap process. I think I'm the last one :-(.
