Cathy - Block Received!

Look what I got!

 

I received this gorgeous block from Deana last night!  I love it!  Thank you so much!

new blocks to send of come January

I tried a different approach on getting these pics to the blog.  I'm still learning.  The colors are a little different than the original.  I have made 10 blocks but will send these 4.

row three block "steam that seam" came

I forgot to report in on receiving my block from West Virginia.  Thanks Linda.  It is wonderful and I love it.  It came about the 3rd of December. 



December blocks complete

I completed 10 blocks for the December Pin

wheel Flowers.

I will be keeping these first 3. They have some flaws and I don't want to send them on to someone else. I will remind you all to read the instructions carefully, at least twice, before you cut or sew. :-D

These next 7 I will trade.

These were fun and easy, as long as the directions are followed closely. Thanks again Deana, for your creativity!

A Quilters' Garden Flower Swap Block

This is my flower swap block. There isn't as much contrast as I had hoped. The block was not difficult, but I definitely had to follow the instructions closely!

Steam a Seam block arrived this morning

I was pleased to find the block from Cathy in today's mail.  It is very pretty fabrics and , of course, great workmanship.  Thank you Cathy.

'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas', here in Elmo, UT

Blocks in the mail

Blocks # 4 & 5 are on their way to Iowa and Texas. They should be there by Thursday!

Buttons

I got the buttons picked out for my flower centers.  Here are all of the blocks I have made.  I have not yet decided which ones to swap.

The pattern went out in the emails today so look for it.  There are three types of flowers to choose from.  The "folded insert" flowers require an applique' center to cover up raw edges.  I do require that you put a center on all SWAP flowers whether it be applique', button, or other embellishment.

I hope you enjoy making December flowers.

Cathy - November Blocks in the Mail

I got my email concerning my November blocks just as I was about to leave for work, so I grabbed them off my design wall and they are in the mail.  I'm sending this one to Betty...

And this one to Lucy...

 

Hope y'all enjoy them!!!'

Cathy

November Swap is here!

I just want to thank you all again for participating.  I am having so much fun seeing your blocks each month.

Also, the pattern is ready for December but I won't get those emails out until this afternoon.

Please try to have your blocks in the mail on or before Monday the 7th.

Here is the way the random drawing came out this month:

Betty managed to draw her own block, so I used a random number generator and traded her places with #8.

Here are the photos of all the blocks for you to see which one you will receive.

Liz finished a swap block.

Liz finished a swap block just in time.  Here it is.  She says the colors are off.

Welcome Tracy

Let me introduce Tracy's "non-swap" blocks to you.  She is new to our group and also my sister.

Thanks for joining us!

The block she  is swapping is in the photos on the previous post.
