Rose's blocks

Here are my blocks I received from Rose

Carolyn's blocks

Here are my blocks for the 6" swap. Carolyn wanted any two 6" blocks done with 1930s fabrics. I'm not really sure if these are the right fabrics. I think they are. I do like these fabrics and blocks. I used these fabrics to make a baby cot quilt. It was really sweet. A traditional Rail Fence and Spool block.

These are a very sweet pink so I hope that Carolyn likes them.

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...

Blocks from Lee

Civil War blocks for Lee

I have caught up on my 6" blocks. Here are the ones I made for Lee.

She wanted any blocks done in Civil War fabrics.i hope she is happy with the fabrics I have chosen. I am not up with Civil War but I did get the patterns from the Elm Creek Quilt book.

What I sent Kerry & what I received from Kerry & Brenda

This is what I received from Kerry, my May partner.

Not 2 but 4 blocks.....

She also sent me a 12" block. We were partners in November and I had commented on this great block. She thought she would send me an extra block

How lucky am I

This I what I have sent her.
Kerry wanted scrappy so she got it

YESTERDAY, Today, TOMORROW

We received the email yesterday with our new partners for this swap.

My partner this month is Brenda in OHIO.

I sewed her blocks today.

ANY BLOCK, ANY COLOUR.

They will be in the mail tomorrow.

A few blocks sent

Here is a catch up of what I have made and posted.

Calico Spools in Pink & Cream for Maureen in March

Red & White in any block for Kate in February 

Monica want any star & any colour in February 

THEN WE HAVE WHAT I RECEIVED FROM MAUREEN

Collecting my mail after being on holidays

What a treat to collect so much good mail.

I have been away on a needlework tour cruising around New Zealand for 2 weeks. It was a great surprise to receive the following block from my 2 swap partners for February.

They both have chosen lovely colours & fabrics.

So here they are all the way from ITALY was Monica's.

They are actually a burnt orange colour.

Then I have the blocks from Kate whose colours look like a beautiful sunset. 

Or maybe the colours of the local fires we both have been very near to.

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.

Sue's blocks

I think Sue May have received her blocks by now.

This is what I did.

Enjoy them.

Just in time for Xmas

Guess what I got in the mail.

Another 2 lovely blocks and a surprise gift. 

A bookmark made out of selvedges. Very clever.
