S.T.U.D. September mini-quilt received

At long last, I am posting about the lovely mini-quilt I received from JGmehlin for STUD's September anniversary-themed swap. It's a trip around the world with a pieced border. Fabulous, right?? And it's especially appropriate because Julie was in Italy when we started the swap and now is back in the US.

Here's a detail shot of the back. Julie used this great map fabric for the back and bind, and embroidered a dashed line from her home in Italy to her home in the US. It's so perfect!

And as if that weren't enough, here's a picture of the quilt with all the goodies that came with it: thread, a ruler, and a bunch of tea things! I am a tea fiend, so it's always great to get those treats. Especially since I've come to realize that I'm a tea drinker in a coffee drinker's world.
