Oh My!! DQS opening day

Today is opening day for the 3rd annual EB Doll quilt swap. It is the first year I have taken part, and I am so very glad I did!!

I was sent a beautiful quilt by Cylie and I am in LOVE with it! So much work has gone into this quilt and the colours are wonderful. I have not yet seen all the other quilts from this swap, but I am pretty sure that I must have the best one :)

I was outside this morning, in the rain, trying to remember how to use the manual settings on my camera so I could take good low light photos!


I posted a quilt off to Alissa. I hope she likes it, I did! So much so in fact, that I am making one for me as well!
