Swaps and More Swaps!

I’ve now received my partner information for the SSCS swap and the Stitchers Angel swap. One of them prefers country colours — so help!! What would you say are country colours?

I am SO excited. My 4 Seasons quilt arrived just now and it is absolutely fabulous, fantastic, gorgeous — I love it!!! Now to see if I can find the e-mail address of the quilter who made it! Pictures in a bit — we want to get a really good picture of this one!

Worked on a secret project on the weekend, so no pics yet.

BUT we got this shot of Smudge — and I love it. Now I think this is my favourite photo of him!


Swaps and More Swaps!

I must have swapping fever! I’ve joined this:


I remember reading posts on various blogs last year around Christmas and the 2007 SSCS seemed to be a resounding success, so I definitely wanted to join in this year.

On top of that, I’ve joined this:

I saw some of the quilts from the last round of this swap on various blogs and was wishing I had joined in. So now I have.

Betsy at Quilting Fiesta, my Four Seasons partner for the summer quilt, e-mailed today saying she had received the orchids quilt. I was relieved as I’m always just a bit nervous when sending things like a little quilt in the mail.

And, if all this isn’t enough, we’re having another centralized swap on the Inklingo list which I’m hostessing. This time we’re swapping strips of 7 one-inch hexagons. These swaps are great as it gives one a chance to amass enough pieces for a charm quilt or, as in this case, enough hexagons to make a fair number of hexagon flowers — certainly enough for a small quilt.

I don’t think either Smudge or Lester are particularly impressed by all this swap mania!
