It's mosaic making time

Hi, I'm Lynne, from Lily's Quilts, a UK quilter, and this is my first round as a swap mama in the fabulous Doll Quilt Swap.  Over at the Swap, bebes have now received notification from the mamas as to whether they made the lottery and got into the swap this round or not.  So now it is time to make a mosaic of inspiration.  The mamas will soon email their bebes and tell them who their secret partner is and the inspiration is a great place to get ideas for what the bebe might make.  Here are a few of the mosaics that have appeared over the last few days.  If you click on the mosaics, they will take you through to the flickr pages where, in the description under the mosaics, you can find out who made each item in the mosaic.  Not made one of these before?  You can find out how in this thread on the Doll Quilt Swap 10 mosaic page.
We'll kick off with the most recent addition to the group, a mosaic made by Madame Samm, known to many of you as the person who runs the the fabulous blog, Stash Manicure:

The next one is made by my real life friend Mandy (Simply Solids):

 

An eclectic mosaic from Amy Badskirt:

An even more eclectic one made by Claire WoffDiTo. 

And finally this mosaic, made by jgmehlin, which was my favourite mosaic - yes I faved a mosaic full of faves - is that weird? Either way, whether I'm weird or not, take a look at the mosaics in this group if you have a moment by clicking here and go and find yourself some inspiration for your next project.

From Cindy to Helen!

I apologize to those who also read my blog. The below post is from there. Cindy sent me an amazing quilt and an amazing parcel full of goodies. I have to share if you don't read my blog just how fantastic a swap partner she is!

I got the best mail today! A parcel from my partner for the flickr DQS#9. I'll admit I was a little suprised as usually I'm one of the last to receive, but this time I am amongst the first! I recognized the user ID on the parcel too from the group and of course with the logo on it, I knew exactly what it was!

It was from Cindy, who absolutely spoilt me!! Look at all the goodies I got! How did she know my blue erasable pen had nearly run out too?

Her quilting is just amazing. I was speechless, I would have been happy with just the quilt! The detail in her hand quilting is incredible and when you run your hand over the bird, the texture!

Little french knots? My hand applique knot knowledge isn't much so I'm not sure... the attention to detail though! It is just lovely!

And the label! What quilt is complete without an amazing label!

And this little birdie to match. I had to take this off Matilda who was playing with it, I distracted her with a parcel that Cindy has so kindly popped in for each of the girls.

They scored these little fairies! We discovered after I took this shot that their hands and feet have little magnets in them so the girls had great fun going around the house seeing what they would stick too!

And also these two little bags! The amount of work in these!! Bags are so tricky to make and she made two! The bigger one has zips and pockets and the DQS#9 logo on it! It's just amazing!!!!! Thank you so much Cindy for everything, I feel very lucky to be your partner. Now just to wait till mine arrives at it's new home, shouldn't be long now.

Labels!

A quilting label is a very personal thing as this selection from round 9 shows.
