It had been a long time since I had done any on-line swaps, and I've never done any quilting swaps. I was excited to be a part of the Urban Home Goods Swap.
This was a secret swap, but we had access to our partners favorites and what kinds of things they would like. My partner really wanted a round table runner, so that's what I made her. I was really nervous because I could not find any tutorials on-line, so I made up the pattern as I went along. I actually will post a tutorial for it soon.
My favorite part was making the little scalloped edges above.
My partner really likes mushrooms and gnomes, and as soon as I saw the fabric above I had to order a yard of it. It's from here, and this lady is very sweet and super talented.
I ended up quilting it on my machine using a free form loopy.
I don't have a round table but I was kind of sad giving it up!:) It was really fun being challenged with something new.
And since my partner really loves mushrooms I felt compelled to make her this painting. I know it was a quilting swap but I really had fun making it.
Next time I'll show what my partner made me! It was really fun getting a surprize package in the mail. I'd like to do another swap soon.

I think swaps are so much fun and that round runner is awesome. I love the detail you put into it with the special fabric and the scalloped edges. The painting is wonderful too. I am sure your swap partner was delighted.
