Floral Blocks As Far As the Eye Can See!~


The floral 9-patches that I am swapping are finally on the tables. :-) I worked all day today swapping. It always amazes me when I get over 400 blocks and have only one or two people end up using the same fabrics! Isn't that neat? This time the swappers were primarily from the states, with one from Australia. The gals love it when we have an international swapper in the mix! ;-) This is what it looked like this morning~ 4 tables loaded with floral blocks! Tonight I am down to one table as I recount the blocks and bag them back up. Tomorrow I will do some more and maybe be ready to start mailing them home on Monday or Tuesday.


Hope you are having a good evening!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!!

I'm ba-a-ack!



Thank you for your good thoughts!~ I am finally getting over my cold and feeling like sewing again! Yay!! :-)




Have I told you about my next hgtv block swap? We are going to do 9-patch blocks with florals that have dark backgrounds. ~Last year we did them with light backgrounds and although my top isn't together, it is getting there! ;-) Aren't these florals scrumptious with the jewel tones and yellow or gold centers? And look what happens when they are cut into segments and rearranged!~ I'm thinking about putting a small black border between them,.. maybe... I have a lot of time to plot and plan as the blocks aren't due until May Day. :-) Want to join us? ;-)




So my sewing machine missed me~ and now we have some blocks to make. :-) You know where I'll be!~




Until next time~


Happy Stitchin'!!

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
