Hi again

This week I started on a block swap.  But like last week I stuffed up.  The swap was to be a 2 block “mended hearts”.  You send the blocks off and then when they are swapped you make them into a bag.  While mine looks ok it is not what I was meant to do.  The hearts are meant to be half one colour and half another.  I didn’t feel like making another lot so I pulled out of the swap.  I will still use the blocks to make my grandaughter a little library bag.   Here is a pic of the blocks. 

            I did however sew another sewing dilly bag with needlebook, scissor keeper and pinwheel.  This will be swapped tomorrow night at one of my land patchwork groups.

   This week I also received a lovely crazy patchwork block from Janet from Colarado USA.  I had asked one of the groups if there were any swaps going and Janet said she would swap privately with me.  How lovely of her to do so.  I love all the stitches on the block and the spider is just divine.  I am going to make a block book and Janet’s block will go on the front.  She also sent me so really great pieces of fabric for my patchwork stash.  I haven’t got heaps of CP fabrics…plenty of 100% cotton patchwork stuff though..>LOL.  Emm the pieces were brocades and satins. Some with bees, dragonflies and bugs.  I can’t wait to use them. Here is a pic of the block.  Sorry I have put away the fabrics she sent so you won’t get to see a pic of these. 

  Oh I was almost ready to sign off then I remembered what else I made.  I spent a lovely birthday with my family at my sister’s place.  While there she asked that I make her some hand towels for her bathroom.  She wanted crochet edges on them.  I made one yesterday and put a little embroidered rose on both sides.  Here it is too.

  I think maybe I should take some photo lessons…ah I am too busy crafting to learn photography and blogging improvements.  Sorry all you will just have to cope with what I have. 

I hope I have some other new creations to show you next week.  I hope you all have a nice week.  Thanks for your message Aunty Stella.  Cheerio for now.

Lindy
