"Joy"

Yahoo....I finally can post something I didn't make....can you believe it?  Yippee!  No, it's not my long lost, late, doll swap quilt, but it's really neat none the less.  I joined a few swaps recently as you know and my last post showed a pic of  "9 Carrots" which is the one I sent my partner, Lori "lollydo" for the 6-12" mini swap depicting "spring fling".  I thought of bunnies, but she thought of something a whole lot better (although at my age, it never crosses my mind anymore).  Wait until you see all the work she put into this beauty!  And she never even repeated one single fabric!  Check it out:

"Joy"

And the really cool details........

Did you see that fancy thread painting? Amazing! Well, today has been a fun day! I mailed out my finished potholders to my partner.......and I'll show you those another day....they're really no big deal.......and I got this fantastic quilt in the mail from Lori. Happy Friday to me!
