Photo Catch-ups :)

Here are some photos of blocks I have missed blogging about:

August block from Tracey

November blocks from Encarna in Spain - finally arrived in January :)


I think Encarna's package went on a bit of a Christmas Holiday for a while before it arrived here in Australia - not too sure where it went after it was put it in the mail :(  but it was so lovely to open it and find these little gems inside :)  Thank you Encarna, it was worth the wait :)

I am getting really close now to making up my 'Purple Patch' quilt.  Now that I have finished the top for the A4A QuiltAlong, I can put it back on the design wall and sew it up.

May Block to CrafteeCC

Today I sent my May block away to Cathy aka CrafteeCC, a day later than planned.


You won't believe the trouble I had obtaining plain black material.  Even looking at the other end of the country when away, but I finally found some.

CathyC's Catchup

Once again, I have been remiss in posting blocks sent and received here in the group blog - hangs head in shame :(

October - sent to Debbie

here is what Debbie sent me ;-)

November- sent to Janeene.
12-11 for Janeene
This block has been sent to Janeene, but unfortunately, I haven't heard if it has arrived and I haven't received a block in return  :(

December - Dawn
As I have had no contact from this partner, I have kept this block for myself ;-)  

I was most unfortunate to finish off 2012 get two 'one-sided' swappers in a row - most frustrating :(

January 2013
sent to Karen


two GORGEOUS blocks from Karen

which brings me to February 2013
