JuanitaBean and Jaba, nice pieces! You both have me totally nervous now.
I have sent my partner Dabbler312 a pm this morning. Looking forward to hearing back from her so I can get started on this project.
We are in the early stages of house renos and I found myself needing a different focus, so this month I committed myself to three swaps. Tuesday the contractors finished moving my cabinets and counters from one room to the new space and in between unpacking boxes and putting things away I finished one of my swap comittments and am working on the second. I think I'm going to love the new (old) room- the lighting is different and it puts me closer to the hub of the house.
Thanks for letting me play in this swap.
best,
deb

Beautiful job, Jaba!
And JuanitaBean, just how did you get those feathers so perfectly quilted? Or it looks like feathers in your sneak peek pic??...either way, just lovely!
Let's see, what does Klaws really yearn for from Brat???... I'm trying to subtly ask, for Brat. See I heard somehow, like I have "ESP-N" that Brat's having a tough time deciding... So my brilliant idea was just ask Klaws! But in a sly sneaky "no way will she know I'm fishing for hints" way
.
So Klaws, Victorian or 50's? Which one do you like best? See, if you give a specific answer, I think Brat will send me the 2nd choice one as a reward for my subtlety. Riiiight...
Whigrose,
How exciting on the house renos! I know not fun to live thru, but oh so fun when done!!
I have my mini ready to bind, then it's time for it to jet on out to it's new home. Will post sneak peek in a bit.

Thought I would share out MN sunset from yesterday
Our temps yesterday were -12 below zero yesterday when the sun set - wind chills were minus 30 - check out the sun dogs; they are absolutely beautiful.

Dabbler312,
Just checked my in box, No message from you
I know the box isn't full because there are only a handful of messages in there.)
We'll connect, I've no doubt. Busy day lined up today here so I wouldn't e getting a chance to do anything in the sewing room anyway.

Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing...
I have my partners mini finished. But the design lends itself to being one that could easily have some hand embellishments done to it as well... So I went through all of my "crazy quilt decorating stuff", and found several Valentine's items. Now deciding do I add them, or not???
I'll try and post a sneak peek later today, time just got away from me yesterday..
