Christmas blocks

here are some of the Christmas blocks I have received from my cardmaking friends over on the CraftMad Forum

We are swapping 12" blocks with a Christmas theme each month - there are three of us swapping, so each month we make 2 blocks (I think Merry is making up 3 blocks, so that she keeps one that she has made)

here is what I have received so far this year

I will be catching up with my crafty friends in QLD in October - see my sidebar for the countdown of my trip .............. can you tell I am excited?   I am leaving Mr Fixit home and going on a girly, crafty holiday for 7 days ........... yes, 7 whole days in Brisbane ............ well Chermside & Kallangur to be exact :)

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.

I love the cricket!

or should I say, I love it when the cricket is on the telly :)

last week I blogged about starting my do.Good Stitches bee blocks and realising I was using the wrong fabrics, well I got my act together and finished off these blocks.

I finished them early in the week, but with it being so hot, they didn't get posted until today.

During last week, I received these lovely blocks from Merry & Mandy, my CraftMad Family - we are making a Christmas quilt this year

as a reminder, this is what I sent :) 

New swappers are always welcome, pop on over and check out our CraftMad Forum

We have lots of swaps on the go - quilt blocks, card making swaps, card challenges

I realised I had not blogged about the lovely block I received from Michell for the December swap for QBSA

this is the first of my Rainbow Starflower blocks

this is what I sent to Michell

I enjoyed the A4A QAL so much, I have also decided to do the Globetrotting QAL by Pat Sloan ;-)   My friend Cynthia is doing it too :)

I agonised for days over my fabric selection, and finally on Sunday ............. I started cutting and sewing!
