Aussie Quilt Block Swap - Christmas Group #1

Cheryll has just posted that the log cabin christmas block I made for her has arrived.

I am very pleased it will fit in with Cheryll's Christmas Table cover.

Here is a REAL comparison, here is my VERY FIRST ever block, a log cabin block

oooooh ........ talk about the Good, the Bad, and the ugly ...............  There is definite improvement in my straight lines, and my colour combinations - I guess this could be called a 'scrappy' log cabin ???

Quilted Hugs

In August, fellow swapper  Crafty Pug  put forward a suggestion that we make a quilt for a friend in need of some quilted hugs.

We conspired and we sewed and swapped lots of emails and pics and sent our blocks to Crafty Pug who weaved her magic and produced the most beautiful quilt.

Alex has just posted the most beautiful thank you for the group's efforts.

Here is my block before Crafty Pug wove her magic wand

I love how Crafty Pug has brought it all together and produced such a wonderful work of art.
P.S.  Happy 10th Anniversary Alex ;-)

The Good .............. and the Bad

The good bit ..................... I have completed all my swaps for the Aussie Quilt Block Swap group for the month of October - 1 block swap & 1 Christmas swap .......  ;-)  YAY

October Block Swap

hubby has been sick this last three days ;-(

so I have been left to entertain myself in the sewing room ;-)

I have completed my block for the Aussie Quilt Block Swap Group

This one is for Linda, who requested a Blazing Arrows block in greens or blues with a combination of white.

So I don't spoil the surprise, here is just a snippet of the block.

Blogger is not playing well today - it took several attempts to upload this picture.

Christmas Block Swap Group #1 - October

YAY!!  I have completed Cheryll's Christmas Block - I have a heavy social calendar for October and thought I should get it done quickly ;-)

So that I don't spoil the surprise for the recipient, here is just a snippet ;-)

Cheryll requested a Log Cabin block in Christmas Fabric

Blogger is not playing well today - I had 5 attempts at loading a pic - new photo uploader did not work and had to go back to 'old' uploader ;-(

Cheryll, your block will be in the post to you on Tuesday ;-)
