I got mail today. Look what arrived!!! It’s my quilt from the Four Seasons Swap — made by Anne Ida. It is absolutely fabulous — and irises, to us, so definitely mean spring! It’s gorgeous — and the quilting on it is just super!
Not only was the Spring Iris in the envelope — but this wonderful card, chocolate from Norway, a beautiful piece of fabric and a little blue bag that contained?
It contained this thimble! Our camera doesn’t seem to care for photographing things like thimbles, but I hope you can get the idea from this. It’s very pretty and has “Norway” written on it.
Thank you so much Anne Ida! I will treasure this and think of you every spring when the Spring Iris is put up on the wall!

I love Iris as they are my favorite flower and it was beautifully done, the points look so perfect. Sending a thimble is such a great idea!

Oh my goodness but I love this Iris. You’re right to point out the quilting as well. It adds to the visual fragrance of the piece. Or is that the chocolate!

Lovely – Anne Ida had my name last time and I so love my little quilt. I can see that her spring version is just as wonderful as winter *s*

beautiful!!! My dad used to grow irises before he became unable to work outdoors. He had them everywhere and all kinds of variations. You are right, they are a definite sign of Spring.

What a wonderful iris quilt! Really lovely. I love that border with the flower.I’ve heard of those mechanical chalk pencils, too. Glad to hear it works well! May have to get one.
