I got this wonderful original painting from Agnieszka, from a quilt, maybe, my friend who lives in Poland. I met her during my first QAL and she was one of my first blog followers. Her quilting is wonderful and her painting is superb. Her flickr pictures are here, sometimes she posts a new painting, many of which include a mouse family and many quilts.
She even personalized the back for me.
I had seen her poppy pictures which she manages to paint to look translucent, like they are in real life. She liked my coasters and the colours I was playing with to make them, so I proposed a swap.
She also made me this beautiful card. I feel very much like I got the better end of this swap by far - but since she feels that she did, I think we are even.
This is the set of coasters I sent to her, which arrived yesterday. I was so nervous, she was sending me a painting after all, so I made enough for two sets so I could send her the best four.
These are the four I kept for me. Now we have sister sets, on almost the opposite sides of the globe - when it is time for me to go to bed at night, it is time for her to leave for work.
I hope you enjoy the weekend, it is a sunny fall day here.
Best,
Leanne
