Yesterday, we were all outside working when M stopped mowing and brought the mail (including a package) to me. He was smiling as he knew who the package was from. We had all been eagerly awaiting this package from Calamity Kim! I quickly tore into it and opened the pretty rose tissue paper to find this great little quilt!
"Petunia Goes to Town"
We love it! Kim used a picture of P that I had on flickr to make her pattern for embroidery and appliqué. Kim named her Petunia. P likes that there is an image of herself on the quilt.
That little gnome is peeking through a hole.
P has claimed this quilt for herself, well it has HER on it you know. We will hang it on the door to her room. She really likes the ice cream fabric on the back.
Kim also included one of her paper dolls! I love that fine glitter- in different colors even!
There were lots of other extras. They are not all in the photo as P whisked the fortune teller fish away.
The little chick is one of my photos of our new chicks that has been printed on fabric. All of this was in that handmade envelope on the lower right. I just love those two little girls in the upper right.
I feel very lucky to have had Kim as a swap partner! She is a very generous and gifted artist. She even says she has another quilt to send me that was too big for the 6-12 inch quilt swap guidelines!
Kim is little fairy spreading good cheer, well wishes, and sweet treasures across the globe!
