mini quilt swap!!

June 8th, 2010

Last night was our June LA MQG meeting and we had a mini quilt swap. I have been itching to do a modern dresden, and this was just the excuse to get it out of my system with minimal commitment and time! Those fab Heather Ross Gnomes were a lucky acquisition from Chris at one of our weekend sews!

Ella LOVED the “Santa Clause” so much! I think I will be making another!

I thought it fitting to pass on the fabric goodness to another MQG member, and THE PERFECT person got it! Terri (and Chris) were my inspiration in the first place! I fell in love with Terri’s mini quilt at the first meeting that I attended, and Chris’s @ that same meeting made me look at the traditional dresden in a whole different way!

Oh, and thank you Nicole for loaning me your dresden ruler! It was THE BEST, I have GOT to get one now!

Alissa’s got a great mini quilt blog post and book review over on her blog today too, check it out!

Tomorrow I’ll post all the June meeting pictures including all the other mini quilts that were swapped!!

Thanks Emily! I LOVE my new Dresden mini so much. Seriously. I’m trying to figure out the perfect place to display it! I’m such a fan of taking something traditional and then messing with it, like chopping 1/3 of it off! What are you going to do with the missing slice? Thanks again!

Hi!

I spotted your awesome Dresden plate on Alissa’s blog and hopped on over to your blog! Thanks for sharing so many photos from the LAMQG meetings. I’m organizing the first meeting of the Vancouver MQG (it’s coming up next week on June 17th!) and it’s great to see what your meetings look like. Very inspirational!
