Oh I’ve been itching to show you all my mini quilt that I received from the lovely Freida, freidazzzz, last Friday. It arrived in the craziness of the final days of the competition and I wanted to make sure that it gets the attention it deserves…because she truly did a lovely job!
She nailed my tastes! From the Aqua Blue to the Heather Ross to the Fussy Cut Stars and the Hand Stitching. Every detail is just wonderful.
Just look at these fish!!
And the princesses?! With polka dots. I’m SUCH a sucker for polka dots.
The hand stitching is so fun and the scrappy flying geese are filled with delicious tidbits of special fabrics. She was really trying to squeeze in all of my favorites!
And here’s an example of being truly spoiled in a swap. Look at the extra goodies she sent!! Everything was individually wrapped and it was so fun to unwrap it all. Like Christmas!
There are lovely hand crocheted wash cloths (my husband was very excited by those and we use them every day). She gave me a delightful amount of extra Mendocino Heather Ross fabric that I will definitely put to good use. There were yummy chocolates and even a package just for Caitlyn. How sweet is that?
Here’s Caitlyn unwrapping her present. It was a coloring book just for her with special markers. I adore Freida even more for getting the non messy kind. 😉
So thank you, thank you, thank you Freida!! I feel utterly spoiled and am so pleased with my new mini!!
Wow that is super fab!
It truly was so fun to create a quilt for you. I loved this swap.
Oh wow, lucky you! Frieda always does such amazing, precise work. I'm so glad you were the recipient and that you did such a nice feature on her quilt! She also made me a washcloth, but I'm afraid to use it, it's too nice!
That mini quilt is absolutely lovely, lucky lucky you! And with all the goodies, I'm sure it was a bit like Christmas in March. 🙂
It is just amazing! Wow- definitely a wonderful quilt to see everyday 🙂
That's gorgeous, what detail! Do you know if it was machined or hand sewn? I feel inspired 🙂
What a fabulous package, love all the wee details in the quilt, those teeny triangles and all the fussy cutting!
Lucky lady! The mini is gorgeous!
Love your mini!
What a nice swapper! The mini quilt is so pretty.
What a lucky person you are. The mini is wonderful.
What a wonderful parcel of goodies! The mini is beautiful in its attention to detail!
What an amazing mini! The fussy cuts were what really caught my eye but I could spend a good chunk of time admiring it. It was a definite score!
What a lovely quilt. She did a great job!
What a great package!
Oh my goodness it is just fabulous! What a lovely, lovely mini and such a thoughtful set of gifts. 🙂
That is so neat how the quilting comes out of the points of the triangles such a cute quilt.

Freida is awesome! She's in my guild, and she is so talented! This mini is so adorable.
Oh, wow! What beautiful work! It's this exact kind of thing that makes me want to join a swap and yet terrified to do so. Maybe once my skills improve… 🙂
Wow! what an awesome quilt. I am in a doll quilt swap in my guilt. Just got my partner so now I need to come up with a pattern.
Such a great quilt – and awesome little package too! 🙂 Lucky lucky!
The little quilt is so awesome, love the colors & the design. What size did it end up being? Thanks for sharing.
