Wow, what a great response on one of my earlier works! You guys are something else! I don't think it was that good but sure am glad everyone enjoyed it and have been inspired to do something quick and little (maybe not this little - ha ha). I think I did it nearly 20 yrs ago and remember drawing up my own pattern and paper piecing it when I never knew anyone else had ever paperpieced before! I started on PP'g on typing paper, but then moved to the cheapest kind of tissue paper I could find (it worked better). Today I just use the scented dryer sheets to piece on and leave them in the quilt! Gives it stability.

Thank you so much:

WVdek - it fits perfectly propped in a country shelf (quaker type) now but would look cute on the tree but the ornaments are about a half a foot deep on the tree so it would look lost - hahaha

Thanks everybody for your beautiful words and encouragement. They sure are appreciated! Now go make a mini and post it!!!!!

WOW!! That is amazing. My hands are too big to do anything that tiny. What a wonderful job you have done.

OMG no, was just being funny! Did I pull your leg? No, seriously, I do love Pam though and if you spray your kitchen knife with it before cutting cheese, it will be an easier task!!! You can always try spraying it on your walking foot! It should be quiet-er when you sew, if anything. haha

I love your miniature and I adore your fabric choices. I have been thinking of doing some of the Lori Smith miniatures with some Jo Morton fabrics. I don't think I could do them as small as yours though so I know I couldn't do any that were smaller.
