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.

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

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!

It was a good swap Lyn and I’m glad you enjoyed it. What you made and received are lovely. Swap Mumma of #teamjacquie. Look forward to seeing your work in the next swap

Like you I’ve never done a swap before but it sounds so much fun. I think I will have to join in the next one.

Once it all clicks into place how this works its easy to follow and hopefully wont put off other newbies, you’ve survived the course to tell the tale and I’m sure you will take part in another one now you are hooked and have made other think of doing it having read this!

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!

Lovely work, both the dogs and the roses look so lifelife. Thank you for showing them.

Love Andreas’s work and this is a great interpretation

Letting the “cat” out of the bag I even read and commented on this and didn’t get that the mini swap was for me! Can’t wait to read next months blog…and for you to show people just how stunning your work is…thanks again for my mini xx
