It's a small world ;-)

I heard from Terry that my block for August QBSA had arrived safely.  Here is the sneak peek I posted earlier.

 

 

and here is the full block.

Terry asked for ANY BLOCKS in Grey, Black and Pink.  I had so much fun making blocks for the Block Lotto, I decided to upscale the block and make a 12" one in Terry's colours.

I was extremely lucky enough to win August Block Lotto - I have won 56 blocks - after only making 2 blocks this month - the Block Lotto Gods are certainly looking after me ;-)

The small world bit is that Terry also won blocks from the August Block Lotto and is going to use my 12" block amongst her winnings.

I am just loving the blogging and quilting world ;-)

Let there be light ;-)

yay, I was able to get some replacement globes from the hardware store - I got a spare ready for the next time it blows - I don't want to be out of action ever again ;-)

I was able to finish off my last block for August QBSA for Terry,

here is a sneak peek

 

Terry, your block will be in the mail on Friday.

sewing so much, I blew a gasket ;-)

I was having a ball with FNSI, so it continued a bit more on Sunday

I finished my block for GEMMA for Block Swap Adventure

Completed a block for Shirley for Christmas Quilt Block Swap

Gemma and Shirley, your blocks are now in the mail and should get to you in about 7-10 days.

I was getting fabrics ready for my last swap block for the month for Terry for QBSA and there was a flash and the power went out ............. yes, Houston, we have a problem............

I got hubby and we investigated.   The power was off to only half the house, so it was something in the spare rooms ..... process of elimination, we found that the globe in my sewing machine had blown, and taken out the fuse.   Lucky for me, hubby is an electrician, and was able to take the cover off my machine and remove the globe, which had well and truly disintegrated.

I attempted to sew the last block, but it was not good.  I didn't realise just how much light that little globe was putting out and just how dark my sewing room really is.

I will get out tomorrow to get a new globe and finish off my swap obligations ;-)
