Last year I participated in the Kitten Mini Quilt Swap which was hosted by Marni Franks @FrankiesFabrics. At the time of completing the swap I was without access to my laptop and by the time I was able to sit down and blog about it, my darling Gemma had just passed away. Hence I kept putting it off. Since Marni has just opened up registrations for this year's round, I thought I'd better type this up.
We were assigned our partners back in December 2014 and we had until 31 March 2015 (3 months) to create a mini quilt to send to our secret partner.
The theme was Cats and Kittens. Much to my delight, my assigned swap partner was a good friend of mine - fellow crazy cat lady Jeanette in Queensland @jeanettelgraham. As Jeanette is a friend of mine, I included quite a bit more than normal in this swap parcel.
At the time of this swap Jeanette had 5 cats living with her. Her favourite colours were purple, red and blue. This is what I made and sent to her:

There were extra yummies specially packed for Evie, Bella, Lucy, Garfield & Mr Hyde - Jeanette's pussy cats |
Loved all my gifts. Hugs,xx
ReplyDeleteI admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.Mini cats
