I wanted to share my bounty from the ornament swap before the holidays are a distant memory.  Here they are:

Aren’t they lovely? I can’t quite remember who made each one, but I definitely have my favorites! I love the pine-cone lady, the felt embroidered star (which I believe was Terri’s), and the pink/blue house painting. And, the [...]

I finished binding the baby quilt! It took quite a lot of time to do all of that hand stitching, but I had time, since I’ve been on the couch with a persistent cold.

Here are some overall shots of the quilt on our bed.  It’s pretty big– 40 x 50 inches, so hopefully my sister’s [...]

This Monday I got a very exciting package from my mom (Hi Mom!). It was a new (to me) sewing machine- a singer featherweight. Still a pretty beginner machine, but loads better than the cheapy I was using to make all of my other projects. I’ve been slacking about getting to the Bernina store to [...]

Okay, it is finally time to show off my Patchwork Swap project. Let me just say I had so much fun organizing and participating in this swap. I’m kind of sad to not be expecting any more mail at the moment. Look here to see what my partner Emily sent me.
 
Here is what I sent [...]

This week has left me feeling tired, tired, tired. Working in the afternoons does this weird thing where I’m constantly thinking of how I have to go to work, and therefore don’t get a lot done. There has been lots of knitting torn out to be crocheted, and vice versa. But, I think some fun [...]

I came home to the telltale sign of fun mail: the key in the mailbox. Which means, you get to open the bigger box! (Damn, I love not having to walk a mile to the post office to retrieve packages). I was super excited to open my box because I knew it was from my [...]

Hope everyone is having a great day- it’s absolutely lovely weather here in Bozeman. Fall has started and the leaves are changing- I need to get my camera out before it’s too late.
I got up at 7 this morning to start my! new! job! and the light was lovely. It’s a part time job with [...]

A couple of you commented but did not send me an email (before I closed the swap- I believe it was up to comment #47). I will wait until Friday at 12pm MTN (that’s 2 pm EST) to send out the partners, so please email me if you actually want to swap. If you didn’t get a confirmation [...]

If it is 2009 or later, please NOTE! This is an OLD patchwork swap post. As of March 4, the current 2009 Swap is still OPEN. Go to THAT POST to sign up.

For those of you wondering if there is still room in the patchwork swap, yes, there is but you MUST send me an [...]

Update: The swap is  now closed- I have received a ton of emails and that’s enough to organize! IF you commented but did not send me an email, I will still let you join the swap, but please send the email ASAP. Thanks!

Alright folks, I think there is enough interest for a small scrap and [...]
