Goodies from Mr. Postman!!

Oh I've been so bad with posting, but I received two super exciting packages! The first is from Sara of Flanthrower. She posted some playlists and offered to make people a copy, and I took her up on her offer. Bet she wasn't expecting that! But she was so nice and sent it along with this beautiful card... Thanks Sara!

Today in the mail I received my quilt for Doll Quilt Swap 2! It's from Julie, and I love it. I really really love the pink floral fabric she used. And polka dots!

And she was nice enough to include a keychain! I'll definitely be using this...

My partner also received her quilt, so I guess I'm free to post photos of it... I fell in love with one of the quilts from the current issue of American Patchwork and Quilting, and this is a baby one. I had never done bargello before, so this was an interesting experience.

And since I'm already posting so many photos, might as well post some more, right? I finished my blocks for the SCVQA Habitat for Humanity Quilt with the Space Blanketeers... hurray!!
Finished Blocks!
I am invoking the 10 foot rule, thank you very much!
I've got to say, this was a lot of work. I need to start posting more often. But I'm leaving for a trip to Japan on Saturday, so I will try to squeeze one last post in before I leave!

My jaw literally dropped when I saw the doll quilt you made. Amy's right - the movement in it is fabulous. I'm so excited for you for your trip to Japan. Can't wait to hear and see all about it!

The doll quilts are stunningly gorgeous--I am so impressed with the skills displayed in making them.

Great swap gifts! I love the dollhouse quilts! I made one for my own dollhouse yesterday and posted it to Flickr. This morning I made two Christmas dollhouse quilts but won't post those until Dec. I think it's great about the Habitat for Humanity quilt project--I had not heard about that before.

The quilt that you got and the one that you made are beautiful.
