December mini Quilt swap
 

For this swap we will be making miniature quilts. The suggested size is 6-18 inches or anywhere in between, finished. Square, round, rectangle, hexi, it’s up to you.
(If you and your partner decide to go slightly bigger, that is up to the two of you)


The theme is “Have a Holly Jolly” (Christmas/Winter/Holiday)
The little quilt must have a top, batting and backing and must be bound. You can use any method you wish to fashion the top, piecing, appliqué, whole cloth, thread painting etc.


This will be a partnered swap. Each partner will make a mini quilt for the other.
(Partners cannot impose requirements or expectations upon each other.)

In case you're wondering, Yes I know I have 2 partners this time around! I'm one lucky girl!<3

Well it took long enough for me to get our awesome hostess as my mini partner...lol..
This month I actually haven't started mine yet...what to make, what to make...

But I do have a holiday theme crazy quilt square started. Since I went that route last month, do I go that route again??..

Do I break out of my shell and do a mini with 0 applique/ embellishments??.. Or a combo of both?? Or???
I don't think I can make a quilt with 0 applique or embellishments, perish the thought! :shock:

Will post couple pics of some I've started, then to get cracking!
Can't wait to see what everyone makes!

Kif

Here's a couple of pics, both need embellishments IF I decide to use either one, do something similar, or go a totally different route. Hmmm....

I wanted to to share my baby hard at work yesterday in the lab. He has a bed that sits by my feet, and this time of year there is a little heater close by. This is what I looked down upon yesterday morning. Melts your heart doesn't it?

I sent a message to my partner...waiting for a reply.

Since we are showing offpictures of ouir cute little guys I thought I would share a photo of my newest cute little guy. My first grandchild,Hunter, 10 days old.[ATTACH=CONFIG]501045[/ATTACH]

Ok you win Bilben! Nothing cuter than a tiny baby! Congratulations Gma :) <3

He's so cute Bilben, do they live close to you? Love his little sleeper!

First grandbaby. How exciting!!! Congratulations!!!

A first grandchild - what a beautiful blessing for your family!

Congratulations Bilben on your first grandchild!

Thanks! He's a keeper!! And lucky me, they live 10 minutes away from me.

I've contacted my partner June/Billie! Very excited to work with her.

Bilben what a cute grandbaby.

Kiffie2413 I love your scrappy tree! Fun!

My partner and I have made content and I'm itching to begin stitching. My idea for this one came from my swap partner for Nov. swap .... thank you MizMelly.

Cute sleeping babies there Bilben and tlambing!

Now to finish a pair of fleece pants and a old-fashioned flannel nightgown .....

Hummmm..... can't wait to see what you come up with, Mary!!! Glad I was able to provide some inspiration! This time around I can't settle on just one idea! Help!!!!
I have too many books and ideas for Christmas themes. And, the worse part? I lack fabric!!!! (if ever there is such a thing as not having enough of any one theme).
I better go PM my partner!

Dabbler312 and I have made contact. I was going to hunt for fabric while visiting my sister, but her DGD asked for a dolly and me nightgown so we looked for flannel and I forgot. So off to my stash.

Aww what a sweet little baby, and a cute little fur baby too. :)

I'm thinking "snow" :)

snow is good. We just had 10inches last week and more on the way!!! It is so beautiful when you are home all day and don't have to go out unless you want to.
