Catch up on blocks

Here is a catch up of what I received and sent over the last few months. I think I have fallen a little behind in the posting.

Here goes and I hope I have got them all right.

What I sent Shannon. Shannon wanted Kaffe Fasset. She did say she liked them and it was out of my comfort zone. But... Here they are.

Then I have just received these from her. Also, with a cute little quick unpick. It is a seam-fix brand and it has a rubber end. She says that after you cut the thread you rub them away with the end..
I'll give it a try....
She also sent me 2 charms squares to match... Very nice.

Then for this months swap I am putting these blocks in the mail for Rose...

January double swap with Liz & Andrea

I enjoy doing these swaps as I get to try different blocks I haven't yet tried.
Here are the blocks for Andrea. She wanted LeMoyne Star in Civil War prints.
I don't use these fabrics so I had bought a pack for an earlier swap and had put them aside.
Then I had Liz.
Since joining this swap we have found that we are both members of a local quilt group that meets monthly. Ha ha, small world.
Liz wanted any blocks suitable for babies. When she receives these she makes up blankets of love and sends them off to hospitals. They are passed on as a treasured memory of a loved one.
This is such a special thing to do so I added a few extra, which she has used them all.

Well done Liz. So happy you liked them 
These are the maple leaf blocks Liz sent me. She got busy and made 4.
