October blocks - CathyC & Lorraine

9Patch from Lorraine

Tulip Block for Lorraine

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.

Block Update

Well blocks are finally done and off in the mail tomorrow and my new machine is going like a breeze.

 For my March swap I received this lovely block from Kerry

And this is Kerry's block.  The photo does not do it justice   My camera was flat so had to use my phone.  It is pale yellow and grey.

Then for my April block I am sending this block to Lorraine here in New Zealand.

From New Zealand

This stunning block arrived in my letterbox today from the lovely Lorraine in New Zealand.  Lorraine also sent me this useful sun glasses case, she must be spying on me and sees how naughty I am to put my good sun glasses into my handbag without a case.  I am sure to use this now.

Made in the nick of time

As May draws close to the end I have made this block for Lorraine in New Zealand.  Lorraine was my second partner this month by default as her first partner (as it turns out ) has been missing in action since Feb in this swap, and since December in the Christmas swap. {insert grumpy face}

Both Cathy and I have suspended this member and wish we knew about this sooner. 
Lorraine requested any mixed block in any mixed colour.  Personally I actually find non specific requests more challenging than specific ones.

Well, I think its nice and cheery

How is everyone else going with their May swaps, mine are all done :)

December blocks - received and sent

I received this beautiful block from Lorraine for the December swap

Lorraine has let me know that the block I made for her has arrived safely, and this is the block I sent

Lorraine asked for any block in any colour
