January FNwF - Show and Tell

Our first FNwF for the year .......... we had 64 people join in  :)

I got a lot done - hubby is still home on annual leave, but that didn't stop me seriously ignoring him for the afternoon and early evening :)

But first, I must pass on thanks to Vanessa, 

for sending me this lovely FQ and gorgeous tag as a thank you for the work I do as
Swap Co-Ordinator for the Fat Quarter Swap Group
awww, thanks Vanessa, your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated :)

OK, so now onto what I accomplished for FNwF :)

The afternoon starts with good preparation

The last of my Christmas Bubbly  

setting aside my blue scraps for the start of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC14) project
(see link in the sidebar)

which turned into this :) will finish it this afternoon

SharonJ, my January partner for QBSA, is super organised and has already sent me two blocks - my request was for the Starflower block in rainbow colours on either BLACK or WHITE solids

I think she has met the brief :)  thanks Sharon

I completed the following two blocks for SharonJ

Sharon's request was for any block in purples, lavenders, greens - I hope this is acceptable :)

these blocks are packed and ready to be posted on Monday

I was on a roll with digging through my purple stash, so I made some blocks for Block Lotto
(see link on sidebar)

January Block Lotto - Double Chevron Block

The top block was made using the tutorial provided - starting with one big 8 3/4 inch square

the bottom block was made using my preferred method - starting with 4 1/2 inch squares 

It has been quite a while since I participated in Block Lotto, but these blocks appealed to me :)

This lovely block and fabric bowl arrived during the week from Jan for January Christmas Block Swap

Here is the block I made for Jan 

it is now packed and ready to post

Must be off for now - I have a heap of FQs to bundle up and put in the mail - stay tuned for my next post.

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 ;-)
