I have just taken part in the Etsy UK Sellers Secret Swap.It was organised by Jo at Askey who did a marvelous job of co-ordinating all the players and making sure we didn't know who we were receiving from.
I sent this little quiltie to Tricia of Reform.
She makes fabulous art from reclaimed metal and slate.
I used my rust dyed fabric for the background as it seemed perfect for her.
I received the most gorgeous pair of earrings from Anna at Sakura Fubuki Designs.
Anna makes the most stunning jewellery - very elegant.
My lovely earrings are made from hemonite (hope I got that right) garnet and sterling silver. Anna tells me that these types of orange garnets are associated with helping you dedicate your self to "any endeavor that captures the need for awaited attention". Just perfect for me!
Anna also sent a beautiful print of buds on a willow tree. Love it.
This was a great swap and some fantastic people played. You can see more of the swap here.
Special thanks to Jo, Tricia and Anna for making this a great project.
UPDATE The garnets are Hessonite Garnet. Thank you Anna ;0)

Those earrings are gorgeous.
Sounds like it was a wonderful swap. The earrings are lovely and I love your rusted piece.
Wow Alis! I love both the quilties, the hot one looks so tactile, and the 'lady' one looks so metallic. Just gorgeous, and what beautiful earrings!.
The doodlings are a knockout too - what talent. Val
