1+2 Quilt

I bought a layer cake from Samelia's mum when she was desashing and I knew I wanted to make her pattern that she has on her blog.  It came together very quickly and in a couple of hours.

I am now on the look out for more layer cakes.

Friends Swap

Kris organised another friends swap and Amanda was my partner.

We sent 7 gifts from the letters of Friends.   I sent Amanda  a Flashlight key ring with her name on it, ruffled scarf, coffee mug and tray, erasable pen, notebook, chocolates and a sewing caddy with a pincushion, and scissors in it.

Hope you liked the goodies Amanda.

Urban Stitches

Yesterday a few of us went to a stitching day held by Rosalie from Rosalie Quinlan designs, Leanne from Leannes House, and Melly from Melly and me at the Novotel Hotel in Glen Waverly.

We arrived nice and early, upon registering we were given a goodie bag, then we found a table and started looking through of bags and OMG we knew we were in for a great day.  This is what was in our bags.

We received a new pattern from each of the designers, scissors, fabric, needles, cosmo threads, pellon, and interfacing.

Our lunch was a buffet with a dessert bar, well lets just say I had more than 1 dessert  lol.

Under the Mulberry Tree had a shop there, so what was I to do but stock up of some yummy goodies.

I am starting to save for next years Urban Stitches.

Colour Swap

Vickie was my swap partner in Lydia's colour/friends swap.  I was blown away with what she made me.  A beautiful peg bag, but I'm going to use it as a decoration, A matching coathanger, A cupcake container filled with buttons, chocolates, a purse pattern and some pink fat quarters.




This is what I sent Vickie

 

"Sasha" The Travelling Stash

I recently had "Sasha" arrive at my house. Cassie put together a parcel and forward to the next person on her list. We could take out what we wanted and replace with similar products. It arrived looking like this.

 

 This is what I took out.

Swaps

I have been really slack in posting some pictures of what I have been doing latley sorry. I am waiting for a nice sunny day to take some pictures of the quilts that I have been making over the last few weeks. I have one row to go on my Jacob's ladder quilt, I have made 2 quilts for our soliders overseas, and I have finished my charm pack quilt.

I recently took part in Handmade by Heidi's swap my partner was in Croatia and this what I sent her.

I have joined Cathy's Fat Quater swap every month. I sent Cathy these goodies, this month was bold and bright and she wanted red.
