I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank everyone for their generosity. If what I have on offer does not appeal to you, then have a look at all the other auctions at Make it perfect (the full list will be updated each morning) and hopefully, you will find something that does.

Shooting Star in Canada

The block I made for my Christmas Block Swap January partner, Brigitte has arrived in Canada.

Brigitte requested any star block in traditional Christmas colours

(the colours of red, green, gold, ivory, white) on cream BUT NOT FRIENDSHIP STAR

I made a Shooting star and here is a snippet photo

here is the full block

Brigitte loves the ornament fabric and finds it very charming

thank you Brigitte ;-)

more QLD Flood relief efforts - wonky log cabins

I had a belated FNSI, and sewed up a storm on Saturday.

I had lots of strips set aside for some reason, so I decided to do something useful with them and have made up some scrappy wonky log cabin blocks.

the blocks made with 2 1/2" strips come together quicker,
but I think I like the 1 1/2" strips best

I will send these off to retro mummy shortly.

This gave me an opportunity to have a practice run before I cut up my black & white and red fabrics for a quilt cover for our bedroom.

Blocks Received during the week

Hi everyone,  boy! going to work sure eats into your
blogging time, doesn't it ;-)

I have received some more blocks in the mail during the week, and now I can post some photos.

First up is a block from SylviaM - for the January QBSA my photo does not do the colours justice - it is actually a bit browner/warmer ;-)

next is a block from Cecelia QBS Mom, as a substitute block for an inactive November swap partner - thank you Cecelia, this block is beautiful - once again, my photo does not do the colours justice - it is rich red/gold tonings

I do have a fondness for fabrics with gold in them ;-)

Blocks received - thank you so much

I have received two beautiful blocks in the mail this last few days - one from Cecelia QBS Blog Mom and one from SylviaM QBSA for January

I am unable to post photos just yet, but will get to them on the weekend.

Thank you ladies, the blocks will look great in my quilt.

I am currently doing some temp work on a short term contract - it is nice to be out and about earning some money, but I sure do miss my blogging ;-)
