Poppy block from Jet

Hi All
I'd been looking at my 2010 Friendship blocks which still need 2 more blocks so I asked my grandaughter Jet-Leoni aged 7 years to design a block for me which I promised would go into my Dad's Memory quilt. Within half an hour, Jet had drawn and coloured her block and added her name up the stem, something that I haven't found the time to do in half a year..... I love the block and have now made this to add to all the other lovely blocks I got from PP friends around the world.
And here it is - Jet's is on the left and the one I made from her pattern is on the right.

Watch this space to see how long it takes me to do my own block hahaha!

Friendship Swaps

Hi All

As usual work is mega-busy and I still have to find the balance between work-life as I am not getting enough time to do much quilting. I am focussing on smaller projects at the moment until I get some extra time which means that I have done an 8inch square x 5 blocks - Row by Row for A, and another 2010 PP Friendship block for P, so the good news is I'm up-to-date with them.

Here are the photos of these -

Bright Ohio Star for M

Hi All
Due to work commitments, I have not had time to do any sewing in over three weeks, save for the Ohio star block for M from PP - 2010 Friendship Swap.

M has received it safely so I can now post it on here -

Bank Holiday weekend and rain

Hi All
Another typical Bank holiday weekend weather here - heavy and persistent rain, grey skies and very cold.

I've had a few busy weeks with preparing for my new job role and new location so I'm really tired and haven't done any sewing in the past 2 weeks. The last thing I did was a 'House' block for Cathy in New Zealand and she loves it because I included some residents, one of whom is very special to her.....her beautiful new baby grandson.



I'm trying to do a clean sweep/spring clean and get rid of all the things that take up cupboard space but don't get used, but it's a very slow job. I wonder how much will be put away again...

My hall ceiling is being replaced this week after flood damage and then I can get the hall decorated and new carpeting down. Also my garden decking project should be resumed again when the weather sorts itself out so I can use it this 'summer'......if we get one! I got some Black Bamboo plants for screening behind the decking and black pebbles to go around the base of them, and a couple of other plants so I'm looking forward to seeing it transformed soon.

PP Friendship Swap 2010

The PP Friendship Swap 2010 I'm in has had it's 2nd lucky recipient Irene B and she chose a theme of Seahorses and Batik fabric. Here's the block I made and sent for her collection...

I've enjoyed making these and I'm now planning the 3rd block Swap for another Irene B with her theme of 'In my Garden'....lots to think about there. Good thing I have a month to do it.

2010 Friendship block swap

Hi All again.......posting a few bits to try to catch up

Now this is my very first Friendship block that I've taken part in and G was the first member of the 2010 Friendship block swap and her theme was Butterfly's.

I was lucky to have my EQ6 software to help me with this and really enjoyed making it.


Phew! G really likes so I'm pleased with that!
