Urban Home Goods swap package sent!

Yesterday, I sent out my completed Urban Home Goods swap package.  I have been busting my behind this last week or so to get this stuff done, it took me some time but in the end it was all worth i! I love how everything turned out.

I decided to make a set of items for my partner's table.  I made 4 each of placemats, napkins, and coasters, all designed to coordinate with one another.



The main placemats have a natural linen background, with some Orla Kiely inspired embroidery and applique.  The binding is a Moda Crossweave.



I also made some matching napkins and coasters.  I didn't have enough linen for the napkins, so I used Kona Cotton in Bone, which matched the color of the linen perfectly.  I then made some little coasters with the leftover scraps from the placemats and napkins.



I really think my partner is going to like them.  I can't wait until s/he receives them!  And I'm also excitedly waiting to receive my package as well!  I wonder what I'll get? :)

DQS9 received!

A few days ago, my Doll Quilt Swap 9 quilt arrived in the mail!



Isn't it lovely?  It was made for me by Nichol (HardyPartyof5) and it looks beautiful against my green walls in my sewing room.  I love it! Thank you again Nichol!

I also packaged up my quilt and sent it off to my partner yesterday...



I hope my partner loves it!

I'm also working away on my items for the Urban Home Goods swap.  I'm doing a little Orla Kiely inspired embroidery for a placemat set.  I am going to do two embroidered like this below, and two with fabric applique in the same design.  It will be set against a Kona Ash for the main background.



All right, I've got to get back to my stitching if I'm going to be done in time!
