Thread: September 2011 Doll Quilt Swap (Optional Theme)

Don't know why it wouldn't add my comment to the end of the quotes, but I just wanted to say that sounds great, can't wait to see it. These little quilts are so much to decorate with, and they look so great.

my partner's quilt goes out tomorrow--rain or shine. tho' there has been so much rain i feel like i've moved to london. except the people here speak a quaint form of american. yankee doodle, that's me!

The background fabric in Hobbykat's DQ to Dragonfly Nana is gorgeous, is one fabric or did you make it yourself Hobbykat - the DQ is so cute.

I'm a vampire fan tooo!

I am sooooo remiss. I received an adorable doll quilt from my swap partner, Maggie_1963. I will try to post a picture soon!


I will try hard to get her quilt in the mail as soon as possible. The doll quilt, along with finishing the row for a row robin, will be the last quilt I make for a LONG time. I will be selling/giving away most of my fabric that I have lovingly collected over the last twenty years, along with most of my possessions. (NOT any of the lovely quilts I have received in previous doll swaps, though, I promise.) Unfortunately, life has a way of really throwing us curveballs!

My quilt arrived today from goldsberry921 (Monique). I promised my 11 yr old daughter that I wouldn't open the quilt when it came unless she was here. She's in school and won't be home for 5 hours, how am I going to resist for that long. Will put up a photo this evening.

No it's a whole piece...I found it in a QS in CT last yr.
I'll have to look up name and post but I'm not home at this pt. I thought it would be perfect for the B&W theme.

Story is that while I live near the beach I would much prefer to be in the woods!
She also sent me several cuts from her new "Go" machine ready to applique - and yes, dragonflies were among the assortment. :-D
Thanks HobbyKat. So glad we were partnered.

Glad you liked it...When the theme of B&W came up I had a whole diff idea and even bought fabric for it. Then I went thru my stash and had the birch trees and it just called out.
Great being partners...If you want to post a photo of mine since I won't be able to until end of mth...that would be fine and I'll get to enjoy seeing my surprise.

Wow! Nifty! Looooove it!

Glad you do have patience. I have two of them done now and still trying to decide which one to send you. They are both the same pattern, just different feel in each of them.

Good news though, I received mine last night. It is so nice. My girls love it already. What fun it is. I think I may hang this at the office for a little bit to enjoy.

I have patience...if you want to keep the first one, I guess I can wait a little bit.... :roll:
