EB DQS 2010 Opening Day - what I made : )

I know that my recipient has now received her quilt so I can show you what I made for Nicole. I had a lot of fun making this little quilt, and it was certainly hard to part with : ) I intend to make another one for my sewing room one of these days. It is the first time I have done a quilt completely done from applique, and the first time I have done quilting the way that I did it. I have no idea of the technical name of this type of quilting, and am sure I didn't do it technically right - but it was fun and I love the texture that it has created around the tree.

EB DQS 2010 Opening Day - what I received!

Today is opening day for the Annual EB Dolls Quilt Swap. My partner is yet to receive her parcel, it should be there today - grrr. . . . to Australia Post, why send something express when it doesn't arrive the next day like it is suppose to!?!?

Lucky us had our parcel arrive earlier in the week and with opening day today I was quick to open the parcel for Matilda - as I had requested a wall hanging for her room.

And haven't we been spoilt! This gorgeous quilt was made by Carmel - and we are in LOVE with the gorgeous detail and work she has put in to this little quilt.

Thankyou Carmel, we LOVE IT!

Blogtoberfest Day #29 ~ Quilting

I am attempting to finish off my dolls quilts for this years EB Dolls Quilt Swap. Post day is today, but I am running behind, luckily opening day isn't until the 5th November, so I still have time to get it in the post before then. I wanted to test myself out by trying a quilting technique I hadn't done before, so here is my first attempt

And a sneak at how I am going so far with the dolls quilt. About half way through so far, I am hoping to get the quilting finished tonight and then its just the label and binding to go.
