Modify Tradition Swap Quilt received

sorry to liz for taking so long to post it, and i'm not going to make excuses, but this quilt took the scenic route to get here! i scared barney with the squeal when i opened the envelope!

My swap partner was Liz in Maine.

i LOVE this little quilt! (19.5" x 19.5")



ETA: i just realized that this is the first time someone made me a quilt.....just makes it that more special to me....

here's a detail shot...i love the quilting....pebbles!

and the extra gifty goodness! homemade coasters...i love that fabric!!!


thanks again Liz!




when's the next swap?

i'm done....

i finished my modify tradition swap quilt.

i hope my partner likes it....i'm mailing it today.

i used the block from Denyse Schmidt's Cog+Wheel pattern. it is 22" square.

modern tradition testimonial

dear modern traditional switch sistah-

this is my first online swap, so i'm a bit behind on the etiquette.

i like long sunset walks on the beach.....wait...oopppssss  *giggle* my favorite colors are lime green, turq, magenta, and royal purple, fuchsia, orange; mostly the jewel tones......

i love L.O.V.E. Kaffe Fasset!!! and i'm drawn to anything heavily 'graphic' my favorite blocks are stars...(shot for the moon, if you miss you'll land among the stars)

i HATE red- ya know- fire engine/candy apple red....nope sorry.

i want you to make something that is you, but keeping me in mind...

here's  the link to a gallery i created....i couldn't figure the flickr mosaic thing out....i'm not a fan of 'dull' i like color- i'm not into fussy cutting, or tid-bit confetti piecing....you can click on the 'mine' label in my label list to peek at my quilts....

i really am excited to be a part of this swap- i will like what you make! no pressure- be you! try something new....but mostly have fun....

hey- i figured out the mosaic thingie. i feel smart now. i shall reward myself with chocolate!

my first non-hosting 'online' swap

Jennifer is hosting a 'Modify Tradition" swap over on her blog. i read the 'rules' this morning just after she posted, and thought about it all day...then i decided that i had thought about it enuf, so i joined.

i'm excited and looking forward to 'playing' and hope whoever i am paired up with likes what i do....
