I have participated for my first time in the 12" Mini Quilt Swap... theme this time was for Mother's Day.
I made a mini for Anna & she has sent me a gorgeous e-note to say that it has arrived to her & that she loves it.
I confess to feeling a bit nervous, because Anna doesn't blog, but Swap Mama Cheryll was able to provide me with a couple of useful tips, thanks for that...
I love the pink fabric, it's been waiting to see the light of day!

So glad you like the Mini Quilt Anna!
Now to stalk Mrs Postie while I wait for mine to arrive:)

Last year I made a bag for a swap... remember THIS ??
I fell badly & madly in love with that bag... the design, the fabrics I chose, the whole thing... That bag now lives with Deb at Frog Cottage .
I decided back then to make one for myself... so look what I got started on the weekend...
I am trying to at least do some house chores each day, before I do a bit more on the bag... but... well.. you know what it's like when you are loving a project...

I say bugger the housework - I guarantee it will be there tomorrow! Although I guess that's the problem, right?

I agree, the housework will keep. Love your mini, and your bag.

You know what my opinion is when choosing between home chores and fun, so I won't bore you, lol. Good of you to make a small effort domestically :) Gorgeous mini, Anna must be thrilled. Hope the bag doesn't gather dust while you, well, dust and so forth :)
The mini turned out nicely
Your mini turned out lovely and I can see why you wanted your own black and white bag, beautiful. Sharyn:)
The Mother's day mini is gorgeous. Love the pattern and the ric rac!
Beautiful job on your Mothers Day mini Anthea. No wonder you wanted your own bag out of that gorgeous fabric
Lovely mini Anthea. Can't wait to see your finish on the bag. I get up every morning and say today I'm going to vaccumn. Still haven't done it. Hugs......
The mini is fantastic... it is hard when you can't stalk the person but you have done a beautiful one... when you see mine you will see that we think in the same lines... just waiting for my swappy to get it.... I agree with the others.. forget the housework and play with your fabric....

Anthea your mini is gorgeous and I love the fabric. Can't wait to see that black and white bag.
Lovely mini Anthea.
That is a wonderful mini you have made. I know someone who is getting a frame for her birthday in 17 days time lol. So I am loving the inspiration for mini quilts I am seeing on blogs. Looking forward to seeing your new bag too.
What perfect fabric you found for that lovely Mother's Day sentiment! I have always loved the way pink and brown looks together and your mini is lovely!
Love the mini quilt that you made for Anna! What a lovely saying xx
Lovely mini quilt! I like the comment, bugger the housework and think I will do just that.
