February Mini Quilt Swap
#32
I wish I could do this one! the concept excites me but not knowing if I can get it done in time. the pigs I have seen (look up on the net vintage st. patricks day post cards) usually are frolicking with a hat or just a pig lol pink not green and shamrocks and a lucky horse shoe also on the darned card. clapsaddle has the best examples they were the big manufacturer of these cards at the turn of the century. big popularity. I have four of them will see if I can find an example to cut and paste here. I did not make up the pig thing I swear to you. It took seeing several of them to check out why the heck they put pigs on the cards as it sure did not make sense to me. then the reasoning came of famine and Food and well duh. yeah that is a lucky thing. so pigs could be any pig in pink with just a green ribbon around his neck or a fancy hat on. and you can see they are not a requirement I just posted it for the fun of it. each month I look for a post card that I have not seen or have to have. you should see the turkey one I have wearing a holster and guns and a cowboy hat. I love that card. I had a yard full of wild turkeys and well loved them. I also have a household full of old western photo's and horses and well cowboy stuff. so a combo of two loves? oh yeah. shoot a turkey and I am a grumpy bucket. don't shoot MY turkeys . but put them on the wall and enjoy a cartoon of them there instead.

Those cards are really cute, and went to that pinterest one too. So cute. Ok, I will come up with a pig in my mini, but maybe with some other things too. Please let tlambing know if you don't want one with a pig in it so you won't get my name. lol...Seriously though, some may not want that.
My January mini was mailed today. It is on it's way. I am pleased with how it turned out, and I included a couple of little goodies.

If you're apprehensive about joining for February...just remember, the theme is only a suggestion. You do not have to make a true St. Patrick's mini. You could just go green. A mini pieced in greens, yellows, black, whites and golds would be very pretty.
Sign ups close tomorrow! Hope you join us!
