January 12" blocks for Fiona

Fiona's brief was for a rail fence block in pastel colours. I stitched a few extra blocks to kick-start your project - just in case you are in the QBSA 2014 Challenge. Cheers, Kerry

Overdue Update

I have been a bit lapse the last few months with my updates, but here they are now

First I will start with the missing received ones.

Back in July Ann was my partner and the parcel went AWOL and ended back with her so she has resent it and this is what I received this weekend

Then I had the lovely Traci again for my November swap 

Then for the September swap I had Tarniya and she sent me this lovely block

 And then back in August I had Fiona and here is what I received from her

I can say I have been a lot better at posting what I have sent, so only have Octobers block to show.

Here is what I sent Joanne

Block Update

Here is the block I sent Ann for the July swap

Then for the August swap I sent this one to Fiona

block update..

I realised I hadn't posted up my June block....

This Wonky Pinwheel block was sent to ChristieLeigh ....

quite a fun block and I think a whole lot of these would be very effective... and also a great way to use up scraps....

Block Update

Edited to add my blog is back and running better than ever, so using that again.

So I have not posted about my blocks lately. I wonder if blogger had anything to do with that? So here are some. 

Now for the most recent blocks (December) for OBAS I had the pleasure of swapping with Fiona. We both wanted civil war fabrics. I think they turned out pretty fab.

This one is from me to Fiona

And then from Fiona to me was this one. I snagged this photo Fiona took from QBAS.

November blocks were received too. This time I was partnered with Cathy from the USA. She wanted 1930′s or similar fabric and what better excuse to going internet shopping.

So here is my Churn Dash to her.

And here is another Pinwheel received

Jeneta's Star....

This month I made a block for Donna... she asked for any block and since I am collecting Churn Dash and have not made one myself yet I did so 

Churn Dash for Donna

I was also partnered with Jeneta who is a newbie to our group... welcome Jeneta .. great to have you...

Jeneta asked for any star in Blue and White so this is the one I made....

Ohio Star for Jeneta
