| FRONT |
I’ve become a virtual blogging hermit lately. This is partly because I’ve had so little time to sew that I’ve had nothing to blog about and partly because I was starting to get worried about my Mini Quilt Wall Hanging for the Brit Quilt Swap 3 so I decided not to sew anything else until I’d finished it.
I didn’t draw out a coloured pattern for this and the coloured design ended up looking more triangular than I expected so I decided on the hexagon shape and quilting to try to keep more with the circle style which I think my partner likes.

| BACK |
For the back I used this lovely print fabric which I received from Rebecca Lynne at Making Rebecca Lynne and because my partner also seems to like birds I decided to put some on the label for him/her. I’ve covered his/her name with a dandelion leaf to keep her identity secret.
 |
| LABEL |
I decided to cross stitch the label. I began with the orange bird and it evolved to be bigger than I’d planned but I don’t suppose that matters because it’ll be against the wall anyway.

Oh, that's wild! (In a very cool way.) That top one, being seen right under your heading rabbit, immediately called up the feeling of spiraling down the rabbit hole Alice-style. :D What a fabulous label.

Amazing! I think I get like this too…I can't seem to start anything else when I know there is something else that needs to be finished first. Great finish though and love your label.

Wow, that's great! Mine's been put away for a while, I've hardly done any sewing over the summer, and I'm away for two weeks from Tuesday, so it will be September before I go back to school and back to normal which will hopefully include sewing. Your spiral starts tiny – there are some weeny pieces in that, absolutely fabulous!!!

Hi Janine! Love your mini quilt. So cute!
I've taken a quilting class: Piecing 101. I had such a great time buying fabric, cutting stripes, sewing them together. So much fun! Too bad I don't have time to do it every day… I am definitely taking more classes this year!
