Doll Quilt Swap Received!

I received an exciting package in the mail yesterday just as we were leaving to see the Cardinals vs Pirates day game. It was 48 degrees and just a bit breezy.  We had great seats. 

We are Cardinals fans, having lived outside St Louis for 28 years prior to moving to the Pittsburgh area, and they won 10-5 completing a sweep of the Pirates. We stayed the whole game because we came prepared with coats and quilts 😁.


As soon as we got home, I carefully opened the cute bubble mailer to find some lovely fabrics and funny card from Tish.


It was nice of Tish to send pretty fabrics that coordinate so well with the envelope 😉.  And here’s the sweet doll quilt Tish made for me as part of Lori’s 12th annual doll quilt swap


Isn’t it an adorable doll quilt made with purple & pink reproduction fabrics? You can just see a child wrapping her dolly in it to play, can’t you? Here’s the backing with a lovely flower repro print.


Such an adorable doll quilt….thank you, Tish!

Here’s a link to Lori’s swap quilt & reminder of the mailing deadline. Because I’m a high achiever procrastinator, who works best under pressure, I haven’t finished my swap quilt yet. It’s well underway so I will beat the May 9th deadline…..and I’ll reuse the lovely bubble mailer from Tish! Spreading the simple joy of receiving a lovely envelope in the mail 😁.

Cheers, Cherie
