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

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.

Feb Blocks

This is my block I am sending to Terry F.  She asked for any block in children novelty or brights, made this Churn Dash for her.

This is the Pinwheel block Terry sent me.

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.

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

received from Vicki

Jan Block From Debbie

My January block from Debbie has arrived and it is lovely. Thankyou.

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

September Blocks sent and received - CathyC

I have been remiss in not blogging about my blocks here in the group blog .......
So I have made a list and checked it twice ............ here is what I missed LOL

This block is for Kerry for QBSA September swap, who requested any block in Burgundy, pink and cream - Thanks for letting me know it has arrived, Kerry - glad you like it.

This is the block Kerry sent me - thank you, it will fit in so well with all the others.

if I have missed anyone, please let me know ;-)

August and September

For August I had Donna and she asked for any block sampler style, so I thought how about my favorite block..... a Pinwheel.  I even used some of my treasured Civil War reproduction fabrics too.

August to Donna

 Well I am pretty well onto it and have already completed my September block which I will post away with a few other swaps tomorrow.

Leena asked for Spools, with the thread as stripes.  I initially thought I had no striped material and was going to going shopping tomorrow but then found some this morning, so this afternoon have whipped one up.

Sent to Leena 

Hope you girls like them/

Hope you like it Michell - am looking forward to receiving your block ;-)

Blocks Received and Sent

Here is an update on my blocks.

First I received Val's April Block 

Received From Val

Then I have received Jan's June Block and along with it a mug mat

Received From Jan

Mug Mat from Jan

Then to Jan I have sent her this block for the June Swap.  I hope she likes it and it is right

Sent to Jan

 And being right on to it, July's block for Cathy has been done.  She asked for the Churn Dash Block in black and white with a dash of red. 

March block for Dawn

Hopefully by now, Dawn's block for March has arrived safely ;-)

Dawn asked for any block in a south west colour scheme - Browns, Oranges, sage greens, golds - I must admit, I had to Google it to get a better idea of what it was.  I had very few greens, so I stayed with the browns, oranges & golds.  

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.
