Im involved in a Monthly block swap with some ladies I was introduced to by Kylie my room mate when I went to the Don't look now work shop at Sewjourn. Its a Red And Aqua block swap you can see the details over Here. Wendy organizes us all which is a good thing.lol.
So when working on theses Whirly Gig block, Its easier if you chain piece them together, so they look like little buntings.
I alway think how im working on the chain gang. So I make twelve of these blocks and take them along to swap with the others.
And these are some of the beautiful blocks Ive received in return. How awesome is that! All the different fabrics its fun to see what people pull out. The only part that kills me is that it will take a year before I get to put it together. Oh well, its not like I don't have enough on the go already.
I went to the stitches and craft show yesterday, thus the haul above. I want to make some cushions for a new couch that I have on order. Woohoo. That bird print from Kristan Doran will be a cushion, and the backing fabric I got from the lovely girls at Ink and Spindle.( cant wait to see their place next week) The news paper print fabric is from Amitie along with the red and aqua fats. (guess what their for?)
And I actually got to sit at a craft bar and crochet this flower which Im yet to sew up. I have to say I was disappointed with the show this year, it seamed empty and I was expecting more fabric stalls. The best bit was the incubator stalls and seeing all the amazing creations that people have.
I want to leave you with a HAPPY BIRTHDay note to my Other Half! Happy birthday to my Man who is my rock, my shelter and my best friend. Love you. xxx
I made his favorite cheese cake last night I'II be back soon to share the recipe its to die for.
Have fun at the craft show if your heading off.
