Summertime Swap

Look what I've got today at my mail ....
Another gift!! I almost can't believe for having 2 packages of gifts just in 4 days.
This time is from Andrea - Germany, my 'mystery' swap partner at the Good 'Ol Summertime Mini Quilt Swap.

Beside the beautiful mini quilt, she also send me a really pretty fabric.
Thanks a lot, Andrea :)

This is my own progress in this swap. (click the pic for a better view)

I'll send it tomorrow to US. Really hope my swap partner would like it.

Giving a try for cross stitching

I think I'm getting in love with these small cross stitches when I see them up closed like this. I wonder they're symbol of little sea creature...

but when I see this summer swap mini quilt as a whole I think they just don't get fit in there...

Still thinking for replacing them with other stitches or maybe organic lines sewing.
