Kiffie, they are easy to make, just stuff it very well. pick an easy design to start with.
You can make a quilt block miini for the top. or one of a bazillion designs that are easy.

You ladies are amazing. I have yet to figure out exactly what I am making this go around! lol It sometimes takes knowing who it is for before I am inspired.

On the other hand, I have made my mini-quilt. I have a little more quilting that I want to do on it by hand. I am not really skilled at FMQ, so if I want something a little different than stitch in the ditch or outline I do it by hand.

My mini started out as a mug rug......it got a bit large so it became my mini. Now everyone knows the REAL reason I joined the mini-quilt swap. (Just Kidding!)

Deb lets see your mini quilt. I try to have one or two extra pin cushions ready just in case.

Do you think I should before I have been given a name? lol I am not even sure who it is going to yet. The theme for the month is "HERE COMES SPRING" or "Peter CottonTail". Mine is the HCS theme. I'd love to share it. I just don't want someone to see it and start praying that they don't get me for a partner!

LOL! That can't possibly happen, Patchesnposies! Anybody would love to have you for a partner!

I will start on my p/c & n/c this weekend, then I can relax & enjoy the journey to a Spring Destination (mug rug).

Dwina -- so sorry to hear about your uncle. This is certainly a tough year for you. But it will get better. Promise!
