Wild Olive Stitch Swap

Mollie at Wild Olive hosted a switch swap in March.  You were supposed to stitch up a 4 inch hoop and send it your partner.  I was very excited when I got mine since I had totally forgotten it was coming.


A swirly S.  We were supposed to say what colors and motifs we liked.  I wasn't very helpful with motifs, but I did say that I liked green.  It's like Sarah knew me.  She did have this blog to look at!

This is my hoop.  My person, Jennifer, said she liked floral motifs and pink.  I'm pretty sure that I'll never get the glitter all cleaned up, but I do like the way it looks on the hoop.  This is one of the Garden Gals from one of the patterns over at Wild Olive.  I really like how she turned out.  I had a hard time finding something small enough that I liked. 
If you've never done a swap, I would encourage you to be on the look out for one that's interesting to you.  It's a nice way to challenge yourself and get something made just for you in return!

Ho Ho Holiday Swap Ornament

AnneMarie over at Gen X (and Y!) Quilters hosted a holiday swap. You sent 3 other people fat quarters and then made an ornament for one of them using the fabric you received. I made a 1/2 hexagon star. Not the best picture, but I really like how it turned out. If I were going to do it again, I would be a little more careful with the hand stitching. I hope that my partner, Elizabeth, liked it as well.
