SUMMER SUN SWAP

Summer is almost over butt it was such fun 

participating in the Summer Sun Swap on Instagram.

My secret partner was @sboots812 Suse Boots

I searched my stash to find her favorites colors

Chose this paper pieced pattern 

"Emerald Seahorse" 

If you like it you can buy it here on Craftsy

  

Found a cute Chevron Print in my stash for the backing.

Enough for Binding and Corner Tabs

It was a challenge to paper piece as some of the pieces 

were sew TINY!  The block was small as well

so I added the border to meet the swap size requirements.

The "one" extra needed to be something 

that represented me or where I live

and non-sewing related.

I added some note papers from Lotta Jansdotter,

cause I love her fabric

AND a bookmark...come on...

I could never do just one extra!

Of course, I made the card too!

And my maker was Susie Boots~and this is what I received.

An adorable turtle(s) mini with a small zipper pouch

and some Maple Syrup from New Hampshire!

Thanks to @sparklestash who was the swap mama

and kept this swap organized and moving well!

I hope you have had a great summer...

if you took a vacation

...tell me where you went!
