MY HAPPY MAIL

AUSTRALIA POST has delivered my 2 blocks.

Block 40 from Lucy. I love the Suffolk puff. The block is also more green and yellow than it appears.

Block 48 from Deana. I just love the polka dot button.

 I am very happy my blocks are very different than the ones I have made. Just waiting on one more now.

I can't believe they are so much smaller than the quilt shop. I may have to make some more.

Another XMAS lunch, blocks completed and FNSI

Here we are so close to Christmas and everyone is celebrating. My Monday group had a little lunch.
We can always put on a great spread of food.

Then some presents were handed out... Rhonda made the best stitchery mini quilt wall hanging for us all. They were amazing.

Barb with Kris Kringle

Jill with Reindeer

Joy with Holly Berries

And me with Love

Aren't they just so cute

Here is the pattern. It was one that can get so many uses..

Now that I am at home I have finished and decided which blocks I will swap and keep for the DOD row by row mystery. Here are the completed spinning pinwheels...

And I have received last months Staem that Seam block from France's. Isn't it lovely. I didn't make this style so it was nice to get a different design. Thanks Frances.

After all that, I am looking forward to this weeks FNSI with WENDY from SUGARLANE Quilts.

My little scrappy SATURDAY and some little finishes

I worked on the last of my XMAS cards today. I used up some tiny pieces of xmas greens and made some cards with fabric trees on them.

 So even though they are only small I am still going to link up with ANGELA over at...

Still in the mood to finish off these XMAS decorations for my friends on Monday.

Got them all done so my XMAS shopping and present list is done.

Here I gave finished some reindeer candy canes and crochet SANTA faces.

A little more sewing for the day.

I am following Deana with her quilters Garden row by row mystery.

This month we have the pinwheel flowers.

Just to show I have started here are my first 2 blocks nearly done. All I have to do is applique the centres on. They were fairly easy if you can manage a correct seam all the way through. My seams were straight and precise when I sewed my strips but not when I sewed the triangles into a Hexie. 

I got there in the end with a few extra seam lines put in...

Have a look at Deanas blog to see the other blocks we have done.
