A few posts back I showed my friend Bobbi a sneak peek of these babies. She received them on Friday, so now I can post their entire picture.
These spawned out of PP6 since Bobbi didn't quite make it into the swap, we decided to do our own swap. I chose to do pinwheels since I remembered her saying that she liked them in a post way back. I like to make pinwheels, too. They are really fun!
We also decided to exchange a mugrug. This is my very first mugrug as well as my very first attempt at free motion quilting. Bobbi likes owls, so I chose some Hooty Hoot and put it with some scraps from a 12 Days of Christmas charm pack that Bobbi gave me last year. In the center of the mugrug, I tried to write her name with the quilting. It didn't turn out so great, but I've heard that famous saying, "Practice makes perfect!". Let's hope so!
