I am going to be...........

a Great Aunt again :)  this time with my husband's niece, Lauren.

I mentioned I would love to make her a quilt and asked if she had any ideas yet on the colour of her nursery - she said 'yellow, grey and white' .............. hmmmmm, very modern :)

So I went out and got these

and I am now working on the layout .................. I am thinking Calico Puzzle block

with the yellow squares forming the main pattern and the pinwheels in grey & white forming the secondary pattern  :)

will make up a few sample blocks and see how it works out ............. stay tuned!

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 :)

More holiday sewing .....

Playing catchup again :)

I realised I had forgotten to post a photo of what I received from Ann for my Fat Quarter Swap for February - I just love the card :)

Many thanks to my CraftMad Family, Mandy & Merry, for being so very patient for these blocks - I am so sad for letting myself get so far behind.
