This is the quilt I received. It is made by dearfii.

I had no chance to make a picture right after opening the envelope in the evening - a nice and colourful envelope…. and was too busy to post the pictures. It was a really hectic week so I sent the “thank you” e-mail only and quick blog entry of excitement - it took it only 5 days to arrive this time.

Fi also sent me some extras - buttons, a fabric piece and a felt apple  and a scotch tape with cars - it was the first car stamped one here. My kid like it a lot! Thank Fi!

She knew I like blues - my blog, or Flickr comment… and choose some great blue fabrics for the quilt.

It is so kind!!! I hang it for a picture here and it will stay there for a month at least.

I am planing a doll quilt wall soon. I will start with 3-4 quilts. This swap was planned as an excuse to make more doll quilts, but I had no time for this. Hopefully I will make up next round!

I am looking forward to DQS5 announcement now!

Tracy wrote she loves it! I am very, very happy!

Now I can tell the story behind it. It is a wish quilt for good luck, colors an joy. It is a Rainbow quilt. I am a feng shui addicted quilter, so it shows in this quilt.

There are three rainbows on it. Each one starting at a different point of the spectrum. The middle one is in the true rainbow order /red to violet/. The rainbows are surrounded with white and background is ecru, to make rainbows sparkle.

The whole quilt is densely quilted. The three rainbows are quilted with three stems with leaves. The middle one is still growing. The vertical borders are quilted with halves of similar stems. All stems are quilted in variegated thread and white bubbles /dew/ are quilted in between.

I wanted to send something and decided on set of coasters and 2″ scrappy squares, which did not want to go in the mail /but I insisted and they gave it up/. The squares slipped into mu big bag and I had to ask to reopen the package 5 min. afterI left the PO.
I did not attach hanging sleeve as I personally do not like it on a quilt that is not hang and I had no idea whether it will be hang or not. But I sent some strips with the back fabric for hanging sleeve.

My part of the swap is over now.

Waiting the quilt made for me to arrive!

07.07.2007 and 08.08.2008 were declared auspicious dates and numerous weddings and other special events took place.

What about 20.07.2007 and 20.08.2008?

I do not really remember the first date, but yesterday… I sent my Doll Quilt Swap Four quilt to my partner.

Lots of strange and unexpected things happened, including packaging, card and pack content issues.

I hope it will reach my partner safely and soon! I sent with registered mail. But will get really sure when I know it has arrived.

Having sent the quilt I made, I am entitle to wait for the one made for me, right?

So I keep dreaming of several (at a time) fantastic quilts I see in the pool . Than I regret to read someone else received one of them (so it will definitely not come to me) … and new gorgeous quilts, ready for sending appear in the pool. Fun, fun! … Looking at the lovely quilts made by talented people and the expectation of receiving one.

Sometimes the author clearly states the marvel she made is going to “down under” or is due “Sept. 1st”.

Well, this means it is not for me … But sometimes I just refuse to read this part! LOL  And although my quilt should have been mailed by now /unless it is made by someone as busy and late as me/ I still want every new quilt I see in poll… Fun!

I think the only way to be absolutely happy, after seeing all the beauties, hmm…. is to make at least 5 quilts like the ones you love (do not misunderstand me, my favorites are much, much more). Am I crazy? Or it is a swap member’s normal thinking?

On the numerology side I enjoyed a very productive week with a special project breakthrough on a special date. And today is a good day too (even better according to numerology).

PS: I did not send confeti or paper bits - I modified the image to keep a little surprise.  And keep on waiting and dreaming for mine surprise…
