Christmas block for Sharon

Here is a sneek peak for my April block for Sharon (no blog)
for the Christmas Block Swap group

Sharon had let me know that the block had arrived, but silly me, I forgot to blog about it.  **insert sad face**

So here is a full pic.

Sharon asked for "Traditional Christmas Colors, any theme would be great and interesting."  I made up a block based on the wonky tree block recently made for Block Lotto.

Block Lotto - December Trees - Part III

I got some more black fabric and made up some more Tree blocks for BlockLotto

2 @ 6.5" blocks, 2 @ 6.5" x 9.5"

2 @ 6.5" x 9.5"

that makes a total of 5 pairs

Block Lotto - December Trees - Part II

I made some more trees ;-)

I like the way these fabrics are popping against the black.  I am yet to figure out how to do the longer one - stay tuned, while I investigate.

Block Lotto - December Trees

I recently came across Block Lotto where members make up blocks following a theme for the month, and then winners are drawn to receive a collection of blocks from the other members ???  did I explain that properly??  maybe could have explained better, but if you visit their blog, it will all be explained much better than I can ;-)


This month's theme is Jewel Trees and here is my simple offering

I must say, I am quite pleased with my first attempt ;-)

I didn't realise when picking the amethyst fabric, that it would look like a christmas tree with tinsel
and a tree with a starry night ;-)

I hope these block fit within the guidelines of the group.

Here in Adelaide, the cricket is on the TV so I will be left to my own devices - YAY

I am hoping to make up some more tree blocks and also make a dent in my Christmas cards - whatever happened to my resolve to start making cards earlier and not leaving it till the last minute??
