I wrote the instructions this morning for this quilt. This would make a great lap quilt for someone in the military or a baby quilt.If you can’t download these email me and I can send them to you in a .doc format. holly@fabricmom.com
I made this mini art quilt for a swap on Swap-Bot. The swap was for beginners. I decided to use a fall colors and add a silk flower to it. I’m not sure why, but this has become something I like to do. Maybe because I have a bag full of silk flower cast offs from where I used to work. I was going to make a quilt with them and just haven’t gotten around to it.
The finished quilt is about 6 1/2 inches square. I used black thread to add some detail to the leaves in the nine patch blocks.
The winner is : #78, Ann-Christin in Svalöv, Sweden

Here is my mini quilt for the Summertime Mini Quilt Swap. My friend Laura showed me a pattern on how to do a stained glass quilt. So I made up my own design. It turned out ok. So imagine you are looking out a stained glass window. This is what you see. LOL.
This is with a flash. The blue batik is a little darker.
No flash here. Here are some close ups of the free motion quilting.And please remember I am new to free motion so be kind. 
I tried to make it look like abstract waves. I used black and blue thread.

Sara @ Sara Rules Quilts made a beautiful mini quilt for the Quilting Gallery Spring Mini Quilt Swap. She had so much interest in the quilt that she posted a tutorial for fellow quilters.
Here it is: 3D Pinwheel Tutorial
I joined a mini quilt swap on swap bot. This is the first one I have made for a swap. My partner likes 30’s material. The rules said you had to embellish it. I hope she likes it. It measures about 9 1/2 inches square (almost). I hand stitched the binding. This is new to me. Only the second time I have done this. I have a long way to go on the that.
I made 4 quilts for Barbie today. My neice Emily’s birthday is Friday. She will be 5. I asked her if she wanted me to make her some quilts for her Barbies. She said yes of course. What little girl doesn’t want Barbie accessories.
So here they are, please don’t laugh. I practiced my free motion quilting on two. It isn’t great, but I am learning.
Okay are they really as bad as they seem. Oh me.
