Quilt Swaps
Hello, my name is Fiona and I am a Swapaholic! |
Here are the mosaics and some additional information for each of the swaps that I am participating in for my wonderful swap partners. I hope that I have covered options for all skill levels and various quilting/crafting methods. If you happen to be one of my swap partners and you are feeling overwhelmed or confused about what to make, please talk to your Swap Mama who will help you and if required will contact me on your behalf to discuss options.

Criminal Minds Swap
Due Date: 14 October 2015
I have uploaded some of my favourite photos of Matthew Gray Gubler to a separate page in case my swap partner would like to download any to use. Please click here.
Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) is enough to turn me into a cougar (hey, he's only 8-years younger than me)!!! Those two photos on the left make my heart skip a beat or two. |
Some ideas for a mini quilt, mug rug, hoop art or anything else you wish to make really. Spencer Reid's FBI Badge. |
Tea Time Swap
Due Date: 01 November 2015
@jennyofelefantz has some beautiful embroidery patterns that I like. My kitchen colours are red & white so any red work will look fantastic. As I often use my kitchen bench as a cutting table, a tea cup pin cushion in red & white would look lovely in my kitchen. |
I don't drink regular tea but I do drink Peppermint Tea, Spearmint Tea, and Ginger Tea (I forgot to list Ginger on my form). I also don't mind Chamomile Tea or any Sleepytime Herbal blends. |
Pet Craft Swap
Due Date: 09 November 2015

About Me
Anyone who looks through my Instagram feed will soon notice that I love Nutella, Peppermint Freddos, and Cadbury Dairy Milk Peppermint Chocolate.
I'm not a tea drinker, I prefer coffee, but I do drink a lot of peppermint tea in the evenings. If sending any food items please ensure that it is GLUTEN FREE (the brands listed above are safe to send).
I have a cat named Amity and she eats anything.

My favourite colour combinations are lime green with teal, although I love all bright happy colours. My kitchen is a red & white colour scheme (with hideous 1970s orange laminate benches). My bedroom is grey, white & lime with wooden furniture. Most of my lounge & dining rooms have a lot of wooden furniture with splashes of lime green and orange. My bathroom has the same horrible orange laminate benches as my kitchen but I have green accessories in it to freshen it up.
I am a big fan of: Sarah Fielke, Rosalie Quinlan, Emma Jean Jansen, Leanne's House, Cotton & Steel, Bonnie & Camille, Pat Sloan, Pam Kitty, Lori Holt, Tilda (2015 range), Kaffe Fassett, Indelible, Annali (by Dashwood Studios), text fabrics, & bright happy colours. I also like solids.
I am a foundation paper piecing addict. I also enjoy applique, embroidery, cross stitch, English Paper Piecing (EPP) and hand quilting. Any threads or associated sewing notions will always be gratefully welcomed. I have bought a quilting frame and am trying to learn how to FMQ (free motion quilt).
If there is anything that I haven't covered, please contact your Swap Mama and she will contact me on your behalf.
Thank you.

Kitty Mini Quilt Swap
My only specification being that *IF* my swap buddy chooses a design which features only a single cat, could you please make the cat a black & white cat like my Gemma? Gemma will be 15-years old in January so she is a little old now for kitty toys, however she does like Greenies and she also likes fish.
The photo bottom right is one of my favourite photos of Gemma - she is now 15 years old and she is wearing a Dresden circle. She totally rocked it and refused to take it off for ages! |

Aussie Tula Pink Mini Quilt Swap
Tula Inspiration Mosaic 1 of 3. I love English paper Piecing so here are some EPP options featuring Tula. I tend to lean more towards the green & teal colours but I also like her raspberry tones. |
Cotton & Steel Mini Quilt Swap
Due Date: 26 June 2015
These are some designs that I could imagine done with Cotton & Steel fabrics. The top left hand corner photo was made by @quiltingismyyoga using a Jaybird ruler |
Here are some more designs that would feature the Cotton & Steel well and would possibly be easier to make. The spools bottom right hand corner were all odd shapes which appealed to me, I could picture this made with the basics range. The other 3 you could really have some fun with. The bottom left is the "Cherrio" pattern by Thimble Blossoms. |
These are some existing Cotton & Steel quilts that I found via Google and/or Pinterest showing how the fabrics have been used by others. |
