My PIF is done ............... is yours?

This post also serves as a gentle reminder to all those who agreed to participate in the PIF during 2012 to complete your promise to Pay It Forward.

Some of you may remember my PIF post HERE

Well, my PIF is finally in the mail.  Yes, I know, I am so very late, but I didn't want to let Sherry down.  I made a promise, and I needed to keep it.

I would normally wait until my package arrives before posting photos, but not this time.  Sherry has been most patient, and I want to give her something to look forward to - that is if she still reads my blog :)

One of these hot pads has been sent - which one? ;-)

a little something extra for being so patient :) 

Unfortunately, I have not been able to contact the third person to register for my PIF - so I guess my PIF 2012 has been completed :-).


Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
Remember, any day doing something you love makes it a good day ;-)

The Postie has been kind again ;-) **300th Post**

Hi everyone, I hope you are all fine on this cold but sunny Adelaide day.

The postie has been kind this week - delivering lots of lovely squishies.

First up, the much anticipated block from Jessisca in USA - it always seem to take forever for mail to get to Australia.

Jessisca sent these two lovely blocks for April swap for QBSA and some extra fabrics too ;-)  

Thank you so much for the extras Jessisca.

Now here is what I sent to Jessisca 

I hope it has arrived by now and that you liked it - this was only my second attempt at making a picture block like this and I enjoyed the challenge ;-)

I found a link for these blocks as part of a quilt along at myQuiltGenie blog HERE - so thanks to Jeanne - your instructions made this block so much easier than paper piecing ;-)

Next up is a gorgeous block from Sherry for May BSA

Thank you Sherry, your fabric choices are great!

I have picked and washed fabrics for your block and will make it this week 

with the aim of posting it on Monday.

Now we have some fat quarters from Jessica for the May Fat Quarter Swap

Thank you Jessica - I can't wait to make something up with the cupcake fabric ;-)

Now for some winnings ;-)

I won this gorgeous coffee themed fabric from A Legacy of Stitches

the fabric is such a rich beautiful colour

Thank you Sandi, I can't wait to make something with it ;-)

OOOh!!  just noticed, this is post number 300!!!  Woo Hoo!

Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
