Happy Moment #50: What I Made

A Friday ritual with Soulemama.  A single (or a few) photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week.  A simple, special, extraordinary, happy moment.  A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.  If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments too.

 

Made for the Name Game Swap for Josie McRazie at Insanity Defense

Mail Call!! {Name Swap Quilt}

I got a package all the way from Australia!!

Cute peppery polka dots... what could it be... hurry open it already!

I restrained... and opened the card first.  And then it hit me... duh!  This must be from the Name Game Quilt Swap that I joined over at Samelia's Mum!

Isn't the picture on the card just amazing?  There was a beautiful message inside from my secret partner... who I now know to be Cassie from Cassthecoolest!

Squee... so I couldn't wait a moment later.  I took the hanging from the plastic baggy... and began to unfold it and wow!!  Just wow!! 

The pleating, prairie points, sun shape, and orange are just so me me me!!  I can't wait to hang it on my wall!

Cassie, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to make something handmade for me.  It warms my sewing room and will make me smile often!! 

One Thing, One Week Challenge

This past week I joined up with Amy's Creative Side to participate in her One Thing, One Week Challenge.  It's great motivation to pick just one thing to work on for the week! 

I decided that I wanted to get a healthy start on my Forms of a Dress mini art quilt as I've been stuck in the get ideas, sketch, and play with fabric stage for too long.  I am so excited to report that I made leaps and bounds this past week! 

I'll let the pictures do the talking! 

I'm really looking forward to the finishing touches this week, quilting it lightly and binding... too cool for school man!!  In fact, I will probably be finishing this up during the Friday Night Sew In!

Won't you join us in signing up to sew the night away?  There are prizes involved!!
