FAwF/FNwF - Quick post

just a quick post before I head out

I joined in with a few other bloggers with FAwF/FNwF (Friday Arvo with Friends/Friday Night with Friends)  and accomplished this

it was going to be an Angel block for someone that missed out in the Christmas Block Swap, but I am not happy with it, some of my points are chopped off :(  major bummer!

so back to the drawing board I go .................... but not today, as today I am off to the Salisbury Stitchers Exhibition - will post more piccies tomorrow :)

Arrived safely

I have heard from both my April partners that their blocks have arrived safely .............. and they like them :)

to Vicki for Christmas Block Swap

to Ruth for QBSA - must be an all time record - my block only took 6 days to get to USA!

I am eagerly anticipating their blocks to me ..... they are 'in the mail'
