They would provide the fabric. It would arrive Thursday. I was out all day Thursday and thank goodness for neighbours who can sign for packages.
Friday morning looked like this after the school run.
26 yards of fabric and a sugar hit. I finished the quilt at lunchtime today - 74" square. It will be picked up by courier tomorrow. And that is probably the fastest I have ever made a quilt. Plus I think I will be able to reveal it in a few short weeks. Yay! No big long wait.
In other news, I can reveal who I made my Schnitzel & Boo Mini Swap mini for.
Yes, seriously! Over 1,000 people in the swap and I get a quilting friend I have known for over four years and have been in bees with for most of that time. You might think this makes it easier but it doesn't. I felt the pressure so much more. Katy says she likes it and I can only presume she is telling the truth. No sign of my mini from whoever made for me yet though.
I sit and wait. And watch others receive their's. And mutter to myself 'Well, I'm not getting that one then, am I?!' over and over again.

Still waiting on mine too bird - if I get stung for a customs bill, I am going to cry!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the mini and the whopper xxx
Well done! I love the mini and am pretty sure Katy is telling the truth. So now fingers crossed yours will arrive soon and it is going to be stunning too!
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm doing the same in the mini swap too. Well done on such a quick finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics, looking forward to seeing the quilt. Your mini is gorgeous, Katy is very lucky!
ReplyDelete26 yards is a lot of fabric for one quilt, good for you for being a quilting superhero. I am sure Katy loves that quilt.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear you made the quilt in time! I have been feeling really guilty as I couldn't help Jen out due to teaching all weekend so I am very happy to hear you heroically stepped in to the breach! Looking forward to seeing the result, and pleased to have a quilting buddy to keep me company at TQ (I've been feeling a bit lonely!)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry...I haven't had one yet either but mine in the US got hers from me 10 days ago!
ReplyDelete26 metres of fabric~! you get to keep what's left then? interesting that it was harder making for Katy when you know her. Lots of pressure there then. A great mini you made her. I lucked out this time big style, as you know. I hope yours arrives soon.
ReplyDeleteThe odds...but so fun to make for a real life friend.
ReplyDelete26 yards?!! Blimey, I hadn't realised there was that much! Love the mini you made for Katy, any sign of your parcel arriving?!
