Signature quilt block swap

More fabric for my quilt!

from Use Kayenderes in Canada, who also sent a Halloween ATC

From user Honeybeebzz in Wisconsin, who also sent me some fabric for my quilt!

I can't decide if I should use these signature blocks in my quilt around the world. I think I will.

What else will I put them in?

Preschool Project

A while ago, I received a postcard from Tammy in Michigan via postcrossing. Her son's preschool class is doing a postcard project, and she asked if I could send a postcard to him. I think that's so neat!

Karla from Georgia sent me a quilt postcard!!! This is definitely one of my favorites!

I told her I'd send her a photo of my first amigurumi since she encouraged me to try it :)

Her quote was a "Star Quote" cut out from a magazine:

"Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don't text a guy back for a half-hour, he'll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love." - Taylor Swift

Swap-bot Top 10 #5: Food (Ingredients)

I sent this one to ATCfan:

Swap-bot Thriftstore Find

Received my package for the Thriftstore Find #30 - USA swap!
It's from Sherry in Pennsylvania!

This is the front of the card

She took this picture last summer.

I love it when there's a note or letter with the swap!

Thanks for the letter!

Fabric for my quilt!!!

Both are vintage cotton.

A blank postcard:

Ornamented column, Archaeological Museums, Istanbul.

Marble, Byzanz, 5th c.

And the actual thriftstore find!

A pitcher and vase, super adorable.

I already put a flower in the vase, and I think the pitcher will be for creamer :)

Sorry for the terrible photo.

She also sent an owl card with envelope, but I plan on actually using that so I'll post it when I send it :)

And she recommends the book Modoc, a true story about a boy and his elephant.

I swap with Swap-bot!
