http://www.quilterscache.com/M/MapleLeafBlock.html  blocks from Lee. 

The pattern is for 12" but I am having them done in 6".

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.

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.
Thanks Sue

I also want to say a big thankyou to Michell. Your blocks arrived today. Another Xmas surprise.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

November Blocks

My two 6" blocks  which are being sent to Jo who has asked for Maple Leaves in autumn colours.

And these are what she sent to me.

The bows are so cute.
