Swap Blocks Arrive!


From Log Cabin Quilter
Such lovely fabrics, a beautiful card, magazine and tissue holder
Thank you Ruth!


From Katie May Too Quilts
Good strong colours, a terrific pincushion and beaded scissor fob
(already in use) and delicious cherry almond chocolate
Thank you Katie!


From Loose Bobbins and Other Tangled Matter
Amazing prints in these blocks! How funky is that car print in the borders? A wonderful selection
of scraps that feature in the blocks too.
Thank you Kathleen!


From Canuck Quilter
Her signature blues shine in these gorgeous blocks. Joanne also sent a block in soft greens, a box of delicious chocolates and a really nice card.
Thank you Joanne!


Thank you so much for these lovely parcels and the kind words offered. I'm looking forward to making these blocks into a quilt - once the others arrive of course!

Not much sewing happening here as we begin a pre-Spring Spring Clean. I have sewn some more basket blocks and started on a quillow for my nephew - pictures soon.

Happy Stitching...Ann
