Crossed Paths

It's kinda funny how things work out sometimes. Remember when I made Crazy Rainbow a while back for the Mini Quilt Swap? Simply put, I never received a mini back. Which happens sometimes, but still was disappointing. Enough said. Well last week, some swap angels, purely out of the kindness of their hearts, stepped up to make mini quilts pronto for the few of us that had been missed. Now how nice is that?!

Yesterday I received this delightful creation by Kristan of doodle do designs!
She called it Crossed Paths, due to the curious nature of our 'meeting' and just look at those details! A wonky cross block, that straight yet organic quilting, the striped bit in the binding, and that pieced back. It's me, don't you think?
So I'm beyond pleased, the swap has come to a more than satisfying finish for me, and I've been reminded of a couple of important things . . . good things sometimes do come to those who wait, and stepping forward to be an "angel" is a really really kind thing to do. End of story.

  8. What a nice thing for her to do :-) Nice quilt too! How did she put the "label" on the back. It looks so nice. I like to label my quilts, but I struggle with liking my handwriting or liking the actual label. Her method would solve both of these problems.

  9. Oh, how nice. I haven't told you but last year during the Zakka SAL I haven't received my prize and maybe therefore I won huge fab prize this year around :)
