DQS 14 ~ sent and received

It is no secret that I love to swap.  I've lost track of how many swaps I've been in but one of my favourites has been the Doll Quilt Swap.  Round 14 just finished and I am excited to finally show you what I sent and what I received.

My partner (Coser Tejer Crear) said she loved Heather Ross so I decided to make her a couple of Quiet Play houses with some Heather Ross fussy cuts in the windows!

Low volume and text fabrics with the fabric colours I love all made this mini one of my favourites to sew!

I added some hand stitching on the tree, the door and the door knob and some dense machine stitches for the sky.  I used several colours of thread just to add some extra interest.

I struggled to know what to sew for her because I couldn't find her inspiration mosaic but I think she liked it!  I'm sure the little girl, mouse and cat are happy to be at her home now!

And look what I received!  A gorgeous aqua Great Granny mini!  My partner was Coser Tejer Crear so we actually sewed for each other!   This was her first swap and she did an incredible job - this mini is perfection!   Her stitching is so precise.  Wonderful!

As you can see, I was also spoiled with candy and chocolate, lace and buttons.  Yum!  Thank you!

So - do you like to swap?
