12" October blocks for Ank

Ank was my October 12" partner and requested Attic Windows block in black, white, grey & red colours, such fun blocks to stitch - Ank likes Australian fabrics, so one "window" has an Australian batik with kangaroos & gum trees. Ank emailed to say they have arrived in the Netherlands.

Purple Patches, Scrapbaggers, Attic Windows & Starflowers

Hi everyone, I thought you might like to see what I have been up to lately :)
It is time to play catchup with my blog posts, and to say a very sincere thank you to those that left beautiful comments on the passing of my father, both here and on my Facebook page - they were most appreciated.

A big thank you to my August partner, KerryB, for being so very patient in waiting for me to send her blocks to her - as a thank you I sent two blocks :)




Two blocks seems so little by way of thank you, as Kerry sent me a STACK of purple 9 patches so that I can finish my Purple Patch quilt just that little bit quicker :)

Here are the GORGEOUS purple 9 patches that Kerry sent me  - Thank you so much Kerry :) I will certainly be able to finish off my Purple Patch quilt so much quicker now!

purple 9 patches from Kerry

They will be cut up and placed on this quilt to finish it off!

This is what I sent Ank, my July partner.

Here are the lovely rainbow starflower blocks I received from Ank for July

Happy Sewing everyone :)

February Blocks & An Angel Block

My partner for February was Nikki.

Here is the Pinwheel I sent her

And the Ohio Star I received from her

Also this is the block I sent to Ank when a call went out

May Block From Ank Received

Received my May Block from Ank a couple of days ago.

Must be a special one as even Customs NZ had to inspect it.

May Block For Ank

This month I was teamed up with Ank in the Netherlands.  She asked for any block in blue, green, warm brown and ecru and loves aboriginal prints  So I thought maybe she would like these colours in NZ Maori prints.  So I made her a Amish Diamond.
