Time to reveal my wonky house

I was quite late in completing my June block for Block Swap Adventure, and even later in posting it, but I kept my pledge, and kept my partner (and Swap Organiser) informed each step of the way.

Here is the tease I posted earlier.

Since the other items I posted on the same day have reached their destinations, I will assume that this wonky house has too.

Here is the full block.

My partner asked for a "wonky house or tree, bright and I love white as an addition, but no black or brown please".

I really hope I have fulfilled my partner's request - even though it took me several attempts to get it right, LOL, I quite like the end result, it makes me think of a child's drawing and colouring in page.

Unfortunately, I don't know if my partner was happy with our swap as I have not heard from her - I will have to assume that 'no news is good news'.

 

Last June Block completed ;-)

I have finally completed my last swap block for the month - just in the nick of time.

This one is for Block Swap Adventure

The block was not difficult to make, but I wasn't happy with my first attempts.

Here is a tease for my partner ;-)

Unfortunately, this block will not be in the mail until I get some communication from my partner.

EDITED:  This block will be in the mail on Monday.

June Blocks for Maria and Alicia

Maria has let me know that the block I made for her for the June Swap for Christmas Block Swap Australia has arrived safely - thank you Maria, I am so glad it will fit in with your other blocks.


Here is the sneak peek I posted earlier for Maria

Here is the full block.

a star block variation.

my June block for Alicia for  QBSA has arrived safely too - thanks Alicia for letting me know - I am so glad you like it.


Here is the sneak peek I posted earlier.

and here is the full block.

Alicia asked for 'any block, any colour'.  As I was in an experimental mood, I made a Log Cabin variation - thick & thin, spots and stripes.

That leaves only one more June block left for me to make - a wonky tree to Debra for Block Swap Adventure

I have had an attempt to do a wonky house but that ended up way too wonky and in the bin, I think I will have to do a wonky tree - at least I know that will work out ;-) 

Debra, if you are reading this, your block will be in the mail by the end of the month.  I am sorry if my desire for a response to my email offended - that was not my intention - I just wanted to confirm/acknowledge swap details with a new swap partner.

Block Lotto Blocks - June

I missed out on making the Block Lotto Blocks for May, but promised myself to make some for June.

The blocks for June are super easy to make, but took a while to get the right colour combinations ;-)

Here are my first 4 blocks.

These last two are not unique, but will be thrown in.

So that makes it 4 blocks for me - I am hoping to get some more done soon.

Christmas Block in June - received ;-)

Vanessa has advised that she has received her block - and she LOVES it.

Doin' a happy dance

Here is the sneak peek I posted earlier

Here is the full block

Yes, I made my favourite Annie's Choice again ;-)

June Christmas block from Vanessa

I received this lovely block from Vanessa for the June Christmas Block Swap.

also included in the package was this gorgeous wall hanging ;-)

and it was personalised - just for me ;-)

Thank you so much Vanessa, I love it!  This will hang proudly on display at Christmas, along with one received from Merry last year as part of a CraftMad swap.

I have used Merry's photo from HERE, as it is packed away in my Christmas box and it is a bit dull to take photos today.

Squishies in the mail ;-)

I like my postman today, he left two squishies in my letterbox.  He has not been nice on previous days, only leaving bills.

The first package from Alicia, for the QBSA, and surprise, there were two blocks in the envelope - thank you Alicia, they are both beautiful blocks.

Block:  Clay's Choice

This second one is my favourite though ;-)

The next envelope had this block in it

this log cabin block is from Lana for the Block Swap Adventure May Swap

Thank you Lana, the colours are absolutely perfect :-)

I am in preparation mode for FNSI - I need to work on a wonky house block for my June Block Swap Adventure partner.  The first attempt turned out just too wonky and is in the bin ;-)

but first I need to take up some jeans to wear out on Saturday night to a Quiz Night.

Have a great day everyone, see you on FNSI

Another one bites the dust ;-)

I'm on a roll ;-)

I have completed my June block for Alicia (no blog) for QBSA

Here is a sneak peek

Christmas Blocks in June

I got some 'serious sewing time' today and made up my blocks for the June Swap for Christmas Block Swap Australia.

I was lucky enough to have two swap partners this month with similar fabric choices.

Here is a sneak peek for Maria

Here is a sneak peek for Vanessa.
