I love this quilt. Great inspiration.

I’m about to make some of these for my grandchild so I’m really pleased to have read your blog. I think I will be needing to buy the snaps as they look great.

You tell a great story. Think I might actually try this bondaweb game now myself!

Beautiful wall hanging ❤️…great review, bondaweb and I have become firm friends these past few months doing dragonfly and I’ve certainly learnt even the smallest scrap can prove very useful

Great story an dbrilliant work!

Isn’t that just amazing!

Great post Sylvia – it’s so good to be able to give back this way. Sadly our local hospital is not open to the idea 🙁

Thanks Mandi .. I only really collate and distribute stuff locally. Its the work of everyone else that deserves the accolades. And the Helping Hands FB Group.

Well put together Juliet. I would add that the cost of searching the fabrics after washing can prove to be expensive. My biggest difficulty is pressuring (ironing) the creases out after washing. I thought my iron was just for pressing my seams open

This is a really useful and helpful review Lynda, because it would never have occurred to me to ask for the long arm service to use cotton – I had assumed that they always did. Now I know to always ask.

Gutterman makes quite a lot of fluff on my Juki domestic – although not so much that cannot be easily cleaned at the end of each of my (smallish) projects. I really like the Aurifil threads for piecing, and one of the reasons is that they make so little mess, last so long, and stitch so neatly even on the tiniest of stitches x

Great read and you are right participation in crucial…that’s why we both did so well

Love these kitties, could be very tempted by a pattern in spite of my stack of UFO’S. The mini quilt Gini received certainly echoes the colours she loves, beautifully made.

Seeing your FMQ in close up its amazing. Looking forward to seeing the pattern too.

I’m waiting with baited breath for your lovely pattern!

I was going to give the autumn swap a miss but I think I’m hooked. As a swap virgin this time I’ve learnt a lot about how to stalk and be stalked and also discovered new techniques and fabrics that I’ve come to love. Bring it on ❤️❤️❤️

How true…make it at the same time or it never gets made. My liberty butterfly is still not made but it’s on my to do list
Obviously I’m not going to make a Trek quilt but so glad you love yours

Beautiful quilts. I prefer the darker version as well but would happily live with either. I missed the swap this year due to bring overcommitted but have loved all the ones I have recieved. I too wish I’d made 2 of the ones I’ve sent out as I’ve never got around to making one for myself !

I love your quilts but prefer the darker one with the more defined outline. I wish I’d made myself the first mini I did . It was a butterfly by lillyella stitchery , you have inspired me to make it for myself

Lovely blog Juliet. I’ve done all four swaps, and made a few Angel minis, but each one has its own special memories. Each mini is a unique gift. We all appreciate the time and thoughtful that has gone into making what we receive.

Love this – going to get my bits out and have a go!
