Gift Cards? A WIN and a block

Gift Cards?

I don't like to give gift cards :(
Maybe I can be converted to change :)

OK, I feel just a little better about giving a gift card now.

Nothing like adding a little "home made touch" 

to make me feel better about giving a gift card :)

I have used Annie Downs "Present Pouch" pattern in her 

"A Christmas Story" Book for my inspiration on this one.

I had a WIN!

The wonderful Josie over at Dilly Dimple had a give-away recently

 and I was the super lucky winner and my gift has arrived in record time.

Timing was perfect as I have been eyeing off this book and was ready to buy it!

I was also spoilt to receive 2 Curio Charm packs. 

My little brain is already clicking over with what I can make with them and 

I also like the quilt that Josie had in her post.

Huge thank you Josie

Josie is also so close to finishing off her Boy Story Quilt so why not pop on over and take a look.

another Block received

I have also received my May block from Charlene in the Block Swap Adventure.

Here are the blocks I have received so far from the Modern Sampler Bee and Block Swap Adventure Groups (and my fabric stash so I can start making some for this quilt also)

I can definitely see this Grey and yellow quilt taking shape here.

Might have also squeezed in a little more work on my SKOW - My favourite things Quilt.

I will try and organise the photos today and share with you soon.

have a great weekend,

Bit of this and a Bit of that updates

Block Swap Adventures

I have only been in this block swap for two months.

Here are the blocks that I have sent.

To Shannon for April

She requested a Wonky Star in any colour and I decided to add the improvised centre.
(Woops.... edited to note that I think I might have already shared this block on my Blog, sorry for doubling up)

and for Linda in May

she requested either Greens and teals or blacks and reds with no specific block design.


I chose to open my Modern Blocks Book at a random page and make that block.
If I didn't do this I think I would have spend hours trying to decide on a block!  
I really like it but I am also liking solids and word prints at the moment :o)


Incoming I have received this block from someone ....... 
there was no info on or in the envelope so thank you to who sent it. 
Please step forward so I can give you full credit for it. :o)

and I have also received this lovely block from Kelli as part of the 

Modern Sampler Bee.

Thank you Kelli, it is perfect.

Mug Rug Swap

My Mug Rug has arrived from Anorina over at Samelia's Mum

 

I was also spoilt with some lovely thread and a cute note pad and cover (already in my bag)

I Love my Mug Rug and it has a new home already on my Mini Wall :o)

Thank you Anorina.

Don't forget that tomorrow night is ....

I know I will be working on finishing my Boy Story Pillow but after that

 I do not know but if all things go to plan (Aiden and Declyn, are you listening? lol) 

I PLAN on starting my FNSI activities when we get home 

from the Specialist/Physio Friday afternoon.

Have a great day and I will "see you" some time Saturday :)

Bee Blocks

Modern Sampler Bee

My Bee Blocks have been made and sent to the members of my Hive.

It was a hard decision but I decided to make the block called

"Four Acres"

All blocks have been made in the members color choices.

The one below was my test block, a block for me :o)

I have also made my first block (it's my first month in this swap) for Shannon in the

Block Swap Adventure. She asked for a wonky star in any color.

I can't show you yet as it is still winding it's way across the ocean :o)

I hope everyone likes their blocks. They were a lot of fun to make.

Boy Story with a Merry Snowman & a Bee Block

Really lacking ideas for a title so that was the best I could do!
So now to a quick round up of other projects that have had a little of my attention
over the Easter Long weekend and in between sugar highs :o)

Block two for my

Merry Merry Snowman BOM

is now finished

(they are missing the button eyes etc but they will be added after quilting)

 and Block 1 and 2 together

With Block 3 in transit I can say that I am up to date on this project :)

Modern Sampler Bee - 1st Block

Oh My ....... Look what arrived in the mail yesterday

Leonie is so super organised that she has made her Bee blocks for our Hive members

already and this is the one she made for me.

I am so super happy with it and Leonie has nailed my colours.

Thank you Leonie

This also arrived yesterday

There are so many blocks that I want to make that I am now having trouble picking just one for my Hive members.

Off now to grab a coffee and have another look through this inspiring book :)
