Three weeks ago, I posted pictures of the package that went off to Ireland as part of the Atlanta and Irish Modern Quilt Guilds’ mini-quilt swap. Karen, my swap partner, lives in a small town near the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland. She confirmed that she received my package this week, so I can now share pictures.
The only things I knew about Karen were that she liked the color red, polka dots and birds. No question the backing fabric would be a fussy cut of a Moda bird print I’d picked up over spring break. But what about the quilt top? I was inspired by a trio of mini-quilts in a recent issue of Stitch Craft Create. I had several bird fabrics in my scrap bins left over from previous projects. So I let my creative muse out of the bottle to play…



how cool!!
