Shooting Star in Canada

The block I made for my Christmas Block Swap January partner, Brigitte has arrived in Canada.

Brigitte requested any star block in traditional Christmas colours

(the colours of red, green, gold, ivory, white) on cream BUT NOT FRIENDSHIP STAR

I made a Shooting star and here is a snippet photo

here is the full block

Brigitte loves the ornament fabric and finds it very charming

thank you Brigitte ;-)

Cricket on TV = more sewing ;-)

The Cricket was on the TV, so I was able to spend time in my sewing room sewing ;-)

Block Lotto for January is Coin stacks - here are some I made earlier ;-)

I have realised I don't have many 'bright' fabrics, but I do have some jewel fabric left over from last month's trees and will do a couple more using those ;-)

Speaking of trees, my trees will be in the mail to the winners today or tomorrow.

I also made up the blocks for my January  Block Swap Adventure partner - Melissa who asked for a Centennial Tree Block with scrappy leaves - I was a bit overwhelmed when I first saw the instructions - it was rated with 3 PINS difficulty level !!!  ;-), here is a snippet

It was a very challenging block to make - lots of cutting and squaring up - but I am really pleased with how it eventually turned out.  I hope Melissa likes it.  I am intending to get it in the mail today or tomorrow.

Next I made up some blocks for Christmas Block Swap January partners Brigitte & LindaM.

Brigitte asked for any star block in traditional Christmas colours.  Here is a snippet.

Linda asked for a Star Block in Traditional colours with a cream/beige background.  Here is a snippet.

Linda and Brigitte, your blocks will be in the mail today or tomorrow.

That's it for me - back to the real world today with grocery shopping and washing and ironing ;-)
