Pink Swap

Yes I know, my OHGW quilt is finished and is being posted back from the quilters. In a mad moment I have started sewing a quilt for the spare bedroom and also organised another 'pink swap'. The logic, well none but it keeps me busy and my mind off referrals! Also I decided that if we get referred twins which is highly unlikely then I will have some fabrics towards a second quilt, but ideally I would love to make a heart block quilt for a single bed for when baby Wong grows out of a cot.

If we get a boy! I will donate the squares and wishes to a someone who makes quilts for orphanage charity auctions.

The pink swap was only for 15 people and I swapped two squares and wishes with the other 14 swappers. The final posting date is not until June 15th but here are the squares and wishes I received today.

The lovely pink heart fabric and wish comes from Nazareth from the Canary Islands, Spain.



The pink large checked fabric and pink fabric with Chinese figures comes from Teresa from Spain. The wishes included the words to Ma Ma Hao. This was the music to a 196's Chinese film which is now a popular childrens song. We have Ma Ma Hoa on a childrens mandarin CD which we bought for baby Wong, so now we have the words in Chinese characters, pinyin and English. My MIL tells us the film is very sad!



I cant wait for the other 24 squares and wishes to arrive!
