The 12 Inch Mini I Made!

This is the mini quilt I made for the 12 Inch Mini Quilt Club organised by Cheryll. My partner was Peg of Happy in Quilting. It has arrived at Peg's and I'm pleased to say that she loves it! (Phew!)
With the theme being Christmas, I had decided that I wanted to make a nativity quilt. This is my own design and I wanted to keep it simple. I had the border fabric in my stash. I thought it was so lovely that I didn't want to cut it up into smaller pieces. Sometimes less is more!
Here are a couple of Santa sacks I made up for the sister-in-law to send to her daughter and boyfriend over in England. She was going to make them herself and wanted some help. When she came she had her granddaughter (my great niece) with her. I think I got the easier job as there is a lot of running around keeping an 18 month old entertained!

My 12 Inch Mini Quilt Has Arrived!

 A lovely parcel arrived in the mail yesterday. It was from Helen of Helbel's World of Craft.
 Helen made me this as part of Cheryll's (Gone Stitchin')
12 Inch Mini Club.
It is so much nicer in person. The colours aren't showing up properly. The red is more towards burgundy red. Helen wrapped the quilt in some Christmas fabric and also put in a gingerbread stocking!
 
Thank you Helen for my mini quilt. I love it!

12 Inch Mini Quilt Swap

 
I joined Cheryll's 12" Mini Quilt Club Swap and the theme was "Welcome". Today I received my quilt from my secret partner, O'faigh of Oldbury Cottage. Isn't it gorgeous! I just love the fabrics she has used.
 
Here's a close-up of the teddies. O'faigh has painted them and then added some stitching. Aren't they so cute!
This is the mini quilt I have made for my secret partner. It's all ready to wing itself to it's new owner's home. I hope my partner enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it for her.

My mini quilt looks lovely on it's stand sitting on my treadle machine cabinet. Don't you agree?

Thank you O'faigh for my beautiful little quilt and thank you Cheryll for organising this fun swap.
