Yesterday the mail carrier brought the most awesome package to my house: my swap quilt from Michelle for the 2nd placemat quilt swap! Holy crap, do I ever love it.
Can you stand the awesomeness? I love the whole scene. The cherry tree, the house, the little dog, everything. Love the colors.
The quilting is to die for. On the white parts, she did the teeniest little stippling I’ve ever seen. Yes, I had to put a nickel there, so you could get a sense of scale! That’s some serious skill, people! And I love the effect of the brown thread on the applique. Gives it a sort of hand-drawn look that is SO cool.
The details are just awesome. My kids love hunting for the little peeks of Olivia here and there, and would you believe the house’s chimney even has smoke coming out of it?!
And because she’s an all-around awesome person, she even sent these little house softies/ornaments for my kids. Could she be any sweeter? The kids love them, and I’ve decided to call the whole project Olivia’s House. It just works. It’s AWESOME.
I’m not worthy! I’m not worthy!
