So... where've I been the past month and a half? According to the archives, not here. (Oops!) And not really at the sewing machine (I only wish I were cool enough to have that many secret projects going on). No no, instead I've been preoccupied with work (the non-sewing kind), closing on our house, and spending some much-needed time with the fam'. So not too shabby, really :)
But I have had a few snippets of time to catch up on some sewing. Namely, my Schnitzel & Boo mini swap!
So I had Shannon (@piecefulkwilter) and I was smitten as soon as I saw the questionnaire:
Jewel tones. Low volume.
Plaids. Stripes. Dots. Scrappy.
Bright. Bold. Graphic.
And of course I couldn't resist adding some more feedsacks and earthy oakshott to the back. Plus a sharpie label. Boom. Done. :)
Of course the upside to parting with this little quilt was knowing it was always destined for such a deserving (and appreciative!) recipient. Because at the end of the day, it's the giving away that fuels most of the making in this house :o)
I can only imagine how hard this was to giveaway! It's completely stunning!

ReplyDeleteLOVE the quilt, obv. Those feedsacks are just awesome!
Some serious feedsack awesomeness happening here! It looks like you used it to back the appliqué? I like how the circles have a bit of dimension to them. Congrats on closing on your house!
