I am so excited! I recieved my friendship bag from the swap today! It came from Grazia in Italy(Italy, I am so excited I love Italy!)! It is very adorable and I love the fabrics she chose. The pink plaid cows are so me, I love them! And look at the other goodies she sent! I love the tissue cover and I can't wait to make something with fabric she sent. This swap was alot of fun, so glad I joined it!
This is my all time favorite quilt! It may not be the most beautiful, but I still love it. I made this quilt for my husband, he is a navy submariner. I wanted to make him a sub quilt but couldn't find a pattern for one. I had only been quilting for a short time so I thought I needed a pattern. I collected all the blue fabric I could find for the water and made the stack and whack blocks. Then I fused the sub on, yes it has raw edges. It took me forever to figure out how to make the mariners compass blocks. They are a combination of piecing and applique. I was so excited when I took it to the quilter because it was the first quilt I had designed. When I get there to pick it up she asks me what that "large ugly black thing" on the quilt is suppose to be! I paided her good money to be insulted?! But on a happier note, I gave it to my husband for his birthday that year and he love it!
