I was excited to find a package on the doorstep on Friday :0) A doll quilt arrived from Katy!
She tucked a few other goodies in with the quilt :0) On the back it has a fabulous label with an embroidered tree. My very lame and plain label was attatched to the doll quilt I sent for the swap on May 29 (one day before the mailing deadline) Once it has been received I can share some pictures of it. Thanks Lori for organizing the swap!
I've been trying some handpiecing again. I find it takes a long time to get the pieces prepped but I have been enjoying the sewing. I'm hoping to make just one of these circles to make a sunflower wall hanging for my daughter.
Happy Quilting!!

The prep for hand piecing does take awhile but it is relaxingfor me once I get to the sewing
I love those fabrics you're using - yum! I can't wait to see your block when you're finished. I enjoy handwork but haven't managed to tackle handpiecing yet. I think it's the prep work (and worrying about accuracy when marking my stitching lines ... I'm not very patient when it comes to prep work so I fear that I won't take the time to accurately trace my shapes) that keeps me from jumping in.
what a lovely quilt from Katy and wowser what a label she did!
I admire your hand piecing. I am no good at it unless it is EPP. I love sunflower patterns - can't wait to see yours
A very sweet doll quilt. Enjoy your hand stitching!
What a sweet quilt you received in the swap. And, yah, that label is awesome. Can't wait to see the one you sent as well. Have fun with the hand piecing. Tthe sunflower is looking terrific.
I love the quilt! And the backing and label are pretty terrific too!!
The handpieced block is going to be a beauty.
Love your little quilt. This has been so much fun! Your hand piecing block is quite a challenge. I love it.
Lucky you! Katy's quilt is beautiful. Love your new project. A sunflower quilt is on my list to do. I'm catching up on my blog reading. Crowfoot is gorgeous!
The doll quilt is pretty and has so much quilting. Nicely done.
Your hand pieced project is going to be yummy--love the fabrics you are using!
I am so glad you like the little quilt! Thanks for the shout out!
I took a hand-piecing class where we used stamps to mark the back of the fabric - gave us a cutting and stitching line. Really easy! And the pattern we did was a sunflower!
