February 2018 swap - Pam McD

Pam McDonald was my February 2018 swap partner whose request was Yellow and blue Friendship Star block.

December 2016 block for Paula

This block is for Paula Daley  whose request was Black & White with a "splash" of colour.

Friendship Star Block for Janeene

For the October block I had Janeene and she asked for any star block and liked reds, purple and neutrals.  I made her this Friendship Star.

Block for Tarnyia and Last Months Blocks from Erin

Here is my block for Tarnyia.  I had two choices. A red star with a blue/aqua background or Scrappy Spiders Web.  Well the scrappy Spiders web just scared me as it look a bit beyond my capabilities currently, so I made the Friendship Star instead.  Hope she likes it and will be posting in the next couple of days.

And these two are what I received from Erin.   I'm so lucky to have got two. Thankyou.

Friendship star for a new member

Crafty pugs, our new member requested any block in blues, browns and greens so looking through my quilting books I came accross the "FRIENDSHIP STAR".  To me this is a perfect block for a friendship block swap group, its simple - but refined.  I am really pleased with how it turned out.  I may have to make one for myself and use it in the centrepiece of a cushion or something useful.

Also a warm quilted welcome Cheryll, member number 7.  I am waiting for Cheryll to decide what blocks / colours she would like to begin with.  Cheryll is a relatively new quilter and a little anxious about her skill levels.  I would like to take this opportunity to mention to all members, that it does not matter if you are an expert or a beginner, the group is all about sharing and making new friends and each block made for you is a gift to treasure and appreciate. If a member requests a block pattern that is a little to challenging for you, let them know, I am sure they can then chose a substitute block for you to make for them
