October Swap

This is the beautiful Framed Scraps block I received from Helen - the colours are just perfect. Love the flamingo in one scrap square - flamingos were used for croquet in Alice in Wonderland, and I have played croquet for 18 years.



Helen asked for blue stars - I couldn't stop at one - one dark and one light.

Thank you for being my partner in this event Helen. I hope these stars fit into your project.

Around the world in 80 days - well, 75 days actually ;-)

My October swap partner was Linda (USA).  Unfortunately, Linda's first block never arrived, so Linda was very gracious and made me a new block - which I blogged about HERE.

Guess what turned up in the letterbox today? 

yup, you guessed it .... Linda's first block

Beautiful material - love top right hand corner fabric ;-)

October Block from Linda to Cathy

I posted this on my blog, but forgot to post it over here - Please forgive me Linda!

I have received this lovely block from Linda (my October partner)  Linda's first block never arrived, so Linda very graciously made me another one - thank you so much Linda, I love the richness of the colours you have chosen.

Sandi wished for a block made with Australian print fabric. I thought Mr Roo and his Cocky friends would love to live in Florida.

Thanks Sandi for being my October swap partner!
