making a list and checking it twice

I have just come across some photos of blocks sent and received in the last few months that I have failed to blog about :(

made for Julianne, QBSA

(Note:  this is a Blackfords Beauty block - this same block pattern is made HERE for the Christmas Block Swap and it looks soooo different - it is stunning what a different colour placement makes!)

March wrap up

Where is the time going?

I have been studying at TAFE for 6 weeks and believe me, the time has disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Time to catch up with some photos of swaps ;-)

Here are my Fat Quarter swaps for March.

What I sent to SharonJ

What I sent to HelenP for her birthday
I had a really hard time trying to pick what to send Helen ...........
so I gave Helen a "Lucky Dip"
(I closed my eyes and picked from my purple stash ;-) )

Butterflies for Vanessa ;-)

Healing thoughts & prayers for Julie-Ann - UPDATED 22/8/11

I am a member of the DUST (Down Under Street Team) on ETSY - it is a group of Australian ETSY sellers that support and help promote each other.

I haven't been a member for long, but my communications with Julie-Ann have made me feel quite welcome and hopeful of my success in ETSY.

Unfortunately, Julie-Ann was involved in a plane crash where her daughter was killed along with the pilot. 

Julie-Ann is now fighting for her life.

See news story HERE and updated story HERE 

UPDATED:  22/8/11 via Shirley Twigg

Julie is speaking, which is a great start, she is having more surgery today hopefully, she isn't completely coherent for the moment with anesthetic and sedation xxx

I am not a religious person, but I do believe in the power of positive thoughts, so I have a small request to send some positive healing thoughts (and prayers too ;-) ) Julie-Ann's way.
