making a list and checking it twice

Every few months, I go through my block swap lists to make sure I have completed all my swaps, mailed them to the recipients and blogged about it on my blog.

I came across these blocks that I had not blogged about
**hangs head in shame**

All is good though, I did remember to let my partner know via email that they had arrived ;-)

These lovely blocks came from Larissa for the May swap for QBSA

such gorgeous Batiks - I think I will need to add some of these to my stash

I was so lucky to receive two blocks from Larissa and she has such good taste ;-) I have actually made myself a bag out of the same fabrics HERE

Block for Larissa for May QBSA

Larissa has advised that her block for QBSA has arrived - and she loves it

Here is a sneak peek of the block for Larissa (no blog)

Here is the full pic.

Larissa asked for Log Cabins, Pinwheels or Dresden Plates in Brighter rather than pastel colours, though not fluros.
I was hoping I had not gone over that line of brights turning into fluros.  I had intended to make a traditional log cabin, but a momentary lapse in concentration when cutting turned it into a Courthouse Steps Log Cabin variation.  I must say, I am very pleased with this block and am quite relieved that Larissa likes it.

I can't wait to see what I get from Larissa - it is like Christmas every month joining in with these swap groups.

Blocks for Quilting Block Swap Australia

As part of my recent cross check of sending and receiving blocks, I realised I had not posted pics on the QBSA blog.  

I was ABSOLUTELY SURE I had done it.

So here are all the blocks I have made for my QBSA partners since April, with sincere apologies to my swap partners for not acknowledging them on the group blog.

April

Here is the sneek peak of the April block for QBSA for Helen.

This block has been posted, but I am yet to hear that it has arrived safely.  So we may have to wait a little longer to see the whole thing. 

May swap blocks finished and in the mail ;-)

Hi everyone

I don't know where my head is lately - I just can't seem to concentrate on anything for any amount of time.

I finally got to spend some time in the sewing room today and was able to finish up the last two blocks for my swap groups.

Here is a sneak peek of the block for Lana, for Block Swap Adventure

These blocks will be in the mail on Friday, with apologies to my swap partners for leaving it till the end of the month.
