Monica from Italy

Monica is a new member with the 6" swap. 
She was my 2nd partner this month. 
Monica wanted any star block & in any colour.
The choice is endless.
Pretty pink.
This is also the colour over at So Scrappy this month. So at least I have joined in with PINK

Good Night Irene's February blocks done

I have now done the next 5 blocks for my quilt.
I decided to do all 16 patch blocks this time.
I have not made a true scrappy quilt so this is the first one. Yes, these are just scrap pieces of fabric cut into 2 1/2" squares.

My quilt so far.

Have a look at Terry's Treasures on the side bar to see who has linked up and look at what progress they are making.

More Nearly Insane

Here are my finished November blocks.
There are a few ladies from the quilt group I am in doing this quilt. Each month 4 blocks are chosen and we are supposed to keep up. I had fallen way behind. But I am trying.

BLOCK 27
I had a bit of trouble and my thread should have been darker. Oh well at least the block is done.
"Y" seams.... mmmmm!!!!!!

Then I did BLOCK 6

And lastly for that months needed was BLOCK 40

Knitting face washers & dishcloths

I bought some fancy yarn called "GIGGLES". So I decided to make a face washer. They are also used as dishcloths. The are quite thick and wash well.
If they last a while I might make some more for gifts.
I found the pattern over in Pinterest

Sent to my partner

These are a close up of what I sent my partner in the Initial Heart Swap
It's a bit hard to see the initials but there is a row of them that I did on the machine.
Then I put Initial beads on this fob.


Hope my partner likes them

Fiona's 12" block

I have sewn another 12" block and sent it on its way up to Queensland.
Fiona requested a Rail Fence block in pastels.
Hope this fits the bill. I really like the colours & fabrics.

Quilting Block Swaps Australia is keeping busy with lots of posts of new blocks done.
What a way to get a quilt done without doing the same blocks all the time.
