Friday Night with Friends

I got to spend some time in the sewing room yesterday ;-)

I managed to do some tidying up and got caught up on some swap blocks for the CraftMad Family Quilt

Finished some Christmas Pressie sewing 

During the week, I received this gorgeous block from Cynthia for Christmas Block Swap 

as well as some more goodies ;-)

This lovely block from Jean

and this is what I sent her - I presume it has arrived by now ;-) 

EDITED:

I have also heard from my October partner for Block Swap Adventure that my block has arrived

Lana asked for any block in spring colours and as I was in the mood to play with my Dresden ruler again, I thought it was appropriate I use all the lovely bright colours I have in my stash ;-)

Lana says "OH MY GOODNESS! Your block is fabulous! Its my favorite so far of all the blocks I have received!"
I am so very happy to hear that, I was particularly pleased with this one ;-)

Must be off - am hoping to get some more Christmas pressie sewing done this weekend ;-)

October Christmas blocks

The lovely Cynthia has let me know the blocks I made for her have arrived ;-)

I added an extra block as an Angel Block to fill in for her previous partner who was unable to complete her swap.

This gorgeous block & Christmas Decoration was from MicheleK - thank you so much, I love the fabrics you have chosen -- I feel very special indeed ;-)

My very late blocks for October and a weekend with the girls ;-)

Well, October has certainly disappeared in the blink of an eye - where did it go?

I seem to have been so very busy, but don't really have that much to show for it :(

So I don't spoil the surprise for my last two Christmas Block Swap partners, Jean & Cynthia, here is just a tease ;-)

Both of these blocks are finally in the mail,

with my apologies for being so very late ;-)

I heard from Debbie, my partner for October QBSA, that my block has arrived

here is what Debbie sent me ;-)

This last week has been a blur, as I prepare for a weekend away with the girls in a School Reunion of sorts - in the lovely picturesque town of Victor Harbor, South Australia.

I am intending to visit The Quilt Basket ;-)

Photos will be posted on my return ;-)
