That bluebird is special for sure, wonderful job Uncle Gravy. Waiting for mine to arrive from my partner, haven't heard from her. Sent mine and it was delivered a long time ago.

Beautiful UncleGravy. You definitely had fun with that one and the bee is so real looking.

Just snooping in to see the quilts... Uncle Gravy is quite the quilt artist. His beautiful quilt looks like something going to a show. Man, he set the bar high!

Aww, thanks yall, glad kiffie liked it! I'm having a blast with the swaps, I've seen people post their swaps on instagram for awhile, but was never involved in a community prior to participate.

I love to collaborate and give credit where due, the blue bird in the quilt is from an artist we license work from on QuiltFusion. Her screen name is JuliaDreams and I love all her drawings https://creativemarket.com/juliabrnv/shop

The bluebonnet, bee etc I drew specifically for the swap.

tlambing - thanks for the heads up about leaving feedback, I just submitted it for last month.

Learned to sew from my dear ole Mom of course! Yeah, I pretty much only do applique unless it's something functional for the house/kids. As much as I love piecing and making pieced quilts, wrestling a huge quilt in my little machine is not something I find fun. I use a Shark Intelli-sew (I think it came from target) - 'technically' it's my wife's sewing machine, but I use it way more than she does lol! It's old, every year I think it's gonna bite the dust, but after a little cleaning and oiling, it keeps cranking away.

I received my mini from Jan Rutherford today along with a very nice thread catcher. I love them both. Thank you Jan. These are great additions to my collection. [ATTACH=CONFIG]550617[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]550618[/ATTACH]
