Slow post :(

I am not sure what is happening with Postal Services of late ................ it seems that everyone is experiencing delays :(

I posted my Christmas Block to Hope on 20th October, and it has just arrived 7th November - that's 15 working days from Australia to USA - NOT HAPPY JAN!

Hope has indicated that she likes it,

and that her October block to me has been posted yesterday - I hope

it doesn't take another three weeks to get to me :(

The lovely Narelle sent me some FQ Birthday Love and according to the post mark, it took 11 working days to get from QLD to SA

I have one more block to finish for Bellezza, my other February Christmas partner - wasn't happy with my initial fabric choice for Bellezza's block, so I went to Spotlight and got some suitable Christmas fabrics

(but I won't show them here just yet)

While I was there, some other fabrics jumped in my bag 

here are the blocks I have received for February from my various swap partners - only 1 left to receive

Pinwheel block from Donna

2nd block from Donna, Christmas Star

Thank you, I love the fabrics you have chosen

PS - the dishwasher has been fixed - we ended up we had to call out the LG repairman - he found the problem .......... it was a blocked pump ............ $115.00 later I am so very glad to say the dishwasher is back in action :)
