Blocks received ........... I hope :-)

I previously posted a sneak peek of blocks for Jen for January 6" block Swap

We have now been allocated our new partners for February 6" swap, and I shall assume that Jen has received the blocks by now ;-)

Jen requested batik log cabin blocks

Some of you may remember Samelia's Mum celebrating a birthday and 500 posts by having a giveaway! 

Well, I was the lucky winner of the layer cake ;-)


Here it is in real life ;-)

love this watermelon - would make a great potholder ;-)

Thank You so much Anorina,

I know I am going to enjoy working with them.

Blocks in the Mail ;-)

Hi everyone

hope your day has been as good as mine ;-)

this morning I went out and got a much needed hair cut, lined up at the post office and had a bit of 'retail therapy' in preparation for some re-organisation.


Here is a snippet of the blocks in the mail.

These Block Lotto blocks are on their way to Laura

My block for February QBSA, is on its way to Marie in Canada

These Fat Quarters I have received from the super speedy Raelene ;-)
Thanks Raelene, I love the paw prints ;-)

My Fat Quarters are on their way to Raelene 
EDITED:  Raelene has now received her Fat Quarters - so here is a pic.
