Found in drafts...from July!...time it was updated and posted...the first time ever it wasn't a positive swap experience from my side as disappointingly I didn't receive anything in return and so the post was left to languish in drafts...
***********************************************************************************************
I joined in again with the (was Yahoo Group now Groups.io) Small Quilt Talk annual Small Quilt Swap. This is the wee quilt I sent...
(The day I finished it the sun was actually shinning and it wasn't raining
so I took it outside and pegged it on the yard fence)
Her interests included beach/water, outdoors/camping, travelling and music festivals so I tried to incorporate those with the little embroideries...she also liked scrappy and I love to play scrappy so that was fun...I didn't take a photo of the backing fabric but quite randomly in Spotlight I found a fabric that was printed with words relating to camping/the outdoors and woodland animals and that so fitted the bill...hand pieced and hand quilted with a variegated Auriful 28wt thread, I had planned big stitch quilting in 12wt thread but the big stitch look didn't do it for me so ditched that idea.The whole package...
Happy Stitching...

So sorry I let this slip thru the cracks so to speak. But July I had a grand daughter born not breathing, Which they had to do a lot of work with her, a death in July, a death in September and went into kidney failure in October from a drug that was prescribed. Lana did tell me she was almost finished and was going to get your quilt in the mail. I will get this corrected as soon as possible. I am so sorry once again.
