Isn't this mini quilt I received on the Schnitzel & Boo swap so happy looking. Ruth (IG :@Cutenessfactor) I am delighted this one's mine! Also in the parcel was a fabric card (love this!) and some goodies. There was a bag of Hershey chocolates but Gordon nabbed them before I got the camera battery charged!
Mum also nabbed one of the fridge magnets but the rest is all mine! Gorgeous fabric, lip balm holder and of course the bright and cheery mini-quilt. Thank you so much Ruth for a brilliant swap package!
Last Thursday, I was gifted some seriously cute Hedgehog fabric by Paula. I have plans for this! There is a Quilt-A-Long using Elizabeth Hartman's Hazel the Hedge hog pattern at Gnome Angel this month and I'm definitely using this somehow! I've chosen the larger sized version II of the pattern but may yet end up buying the smaller hedgehog, and the fox, and the whale, at Elizabeth's online shop. If you want to quilt a long, there is a discount code for Hazel on Gnome Angel's page. 
The cream fabric is magic paper. You use it with paper piecing as the foundation instead of cartridge paper and you don't have to pull it out! It is very lightweight and has a soft side and a flat side that you trace your template onto. This was all sold out at Stitch Witch's stand in the Knitting & Stitching show last October and Paula kindly shared some. I can feel some paper pieced Doctor Who Blocks coming along this month. Out of the 12 from this Quilt-A-Long I only made 5.
Quite a few more to make yet! So thank you Ruth and Paula for such lovely goodies!
What lovely items! The hedgehog fabric is seriously cute, and it will be fun to see how you use it in the Quilt-A-Long!
ReplyDeleteThat mini is so fun and happy! I alos love that chap stick holder, I've never seen one quite like it but am pretty sure I need to make at least 3 of them when I figure out how!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth! Such a beautiful presents! I hope you get well soon! That hedgehog fabric is really cute! x Teje
ReplyDeleteI love the rainbow mini. You are lucky! :) I look forward to seeing what you do with those darling hedgehogs. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome mini, I will have to harass my husband to see if mine is waiting for me at home...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your hedgehogs!! Love them but too cute for me ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely mini quilt Ruth, what a great swap :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul! But that bad wolf block is seriously amazing! (i got that right, right?)
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous goodies! Love, love, love that hedgehog fabric. It will be perfect for the Hazel pattern! Hope you are feeling better soon and back to happily sewing!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great mini! Thanks for the shout out and for joining in the QAL, I can't wait to see what you make. That hedghog fabric is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLucky you on your packages! I love the wallhanging, too! Get well so you can sew without a running nose. Doesn't look good on the fabric!
ReplyDeleteYay! I have those hedghogs too. Looking forward your version!
ReplyDeleteI have some cute hedgehog fabric but I have not yet bought the cute pattern. No matter how much I adore it, I must have a purpose first. I will watch your quilt-along with envy from the sidelines.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see a K9 Doctor Who block!
You got a great mini :-) And that magic paper looks amazing. I need to make a couple of paper pieced blocks (one Dr Who one) for my tshirt quilt and I am dreading it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mini you got in the mail!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great exchange gift you got! Love that hedgehog fabric too!! Thanks for the link to the fabric store...I'm off to check it out.
