More Swaps....

And yet more news!
I've joined the latest PP swap of 10 inch squares. The theme is B&W with one accent colour and we all sent 12 squares of either Black on White pattern, or White on Black pattern to the co-ordinator Tessa and she swapped them around so we had 12 different patterned squares and returned them to us. They are all lovely fabrics and designs.

I've chosen my accent colour as Lime green Batik fabric and I'm looking forward to starting this soon BUT - I have a friend who I've worked next to for several years and she is leaving at the end of the monthe, so I asked her what she'd like for a present and she chose a Quilt for her 2 cats....she loved my other friend's doggy quilt so much so it wasn't a surprise she chose that!
So a cat quilt it is for Bev...I'm going to miss her when she goes......time's are a'changing at work since we merged with another college and sadly there are casualties but she's not going far and I'm sure I'll see her shopping in my town centre where her new job is.
So I'll be posting the Cat Quilt next I hope, and then my B&W quilt too

I have other little projects to do in the meantime like 2 x Bookmarks for 2 swap friends and other stuff for birthday presents too so I'm busy, busy, busy.....just how I like it!

Needle Felting

In another group I've recently joined several of us are trying out Needle Felting. I've done wet Felting with my granchildren but Needle Felting .... I actually enjoyed having a go at this thanks to Di T for sending me her Needle Felting kit that she didn't need anymore, so thank you Di. I received a complete starter kit which was really great. Whether I can produce anything artistic is another matter but time will tell....so watch this space....not too closely though!

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.

Hi

This is the table runner that I made for a friend in work and I used the surplus blocks to make 4 x table mats with cutlery pouches. She loves them all....

Last PP Postcard Swap for a while...

Hi All
This is my last postcard for a while with the PP group as we're taking a break so we can do other things.
The theme is 'Hands and Feet' so I used my job as a Communicator to make a postcard for JB with 'hands' signing the word 'feet'.

4 quilts for 4 special grandchildren

Hi All

I have finally finished the 4 quilts I made at the same time....never again! Too much at once for my liking but really pleased they are done...and the children and their parents LOVE them! Yay!!!!

All four were made with fabrics I already had, except a little help from a friend! I have to say my room looks so much bigger now they've gone to new home and four of my workboard 'post it' notes have been removed from my work list, but I'm sure that'll fill up again with the new swap groups I'm in. And here they are -

First below, is Baby Eden's quilt - Penguins in night-time snowfall

Second is Jet's Ice Cream quilt - made from the Ice Cream swap with PP friends

Third is Brennan's quilt made with the Britannia FQ's I won in PP group

and finally, the fourth quilt is for my eldest granddaughter Georgia...

All done and dusted...........
