A Quilt in the Mail!

I am participating in a small quilt swap this spring organized by Christine over at Once Upon A Quilt.  My swap partner for the first round was Bonnie from In Stitches With Bonnie.  And boy is her little creation a lovely one!  And hand quilted too!


Well, my little something special arrived yesterday.  It was an awful day with snow, snow, and more snow.  I went out twice and I had to clean the van off twice!  Hurry up spring!  No, really, for real this time! ...  Anyway, I digress...  When I got to the post office and saw the box from Bonnie, it was all I could do to get home fast enough and see what she had created.


It's awesome!  What superb craftsmanship and there were even a few little extras in with it.  Some tea (which I love), some Jo Morton fabric (which I love), and a pattern for a small table runner (which I love).  Who cares about snow!  Spread the quilty love!  The quilt is made with 1930's fabrics, is scrappy, and I noticed that I have used the backing fabric in one of my own 1930's quilts!  It was meant to be!


Thank you so much Bonnie!  If you can't tell already - I love it!

What a sweet quilt! I've been wanting to try some hand quilting. A small quilt like this might be a good way to start, I'm thinking. Nice litte extra surprises you got too.
