Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

[azureline**]

Sometime in early 2007, the Craft Board quilters got together and organised a Block Swap. We had to design and prepare enough blocks to make a quilt for ourselves, provide the first block completed and send the package on to the other crafty people in the swap.
We each completed a block in everyone's set.
My quilt was for my grandsons' bedroom in my home. I set a theme of teddy bears and boy's toys.
Most of these quilts have been finished for some time....... but.... I could not make a decision on how to do mine until recently.
I learned so much in that year and can't thank everyone who was involved enough! My applique skills are much improved.
So, thank you ♥

I have also sewn the labels of the blockmakers onto the back of the quilt, behind the relevant blocks.
I made mine into a quillow, a quilt that folds into a pillow, so one of the blocks is on the back of the quilt and when folded into it, becomes a pillow.
My 3 yo grandaughter looked at it and said "Gran, that is brilliant" and that is a good recommendation, so I have to thank everyone who was involved.

It WAS to me a beautiful quilt but now not so sure with it being attached to so much bitterness & spite. Pity about that.

Tas, you should know by now, & God knows you do/did, that, to direct any sort of adverse comment to any one of them, as you did Karen, sets you up as a target for the whole four of them & their bullying. They won't go you one to one.

Take it easy huh & like you said 'it won't have any affect on your life' outside this forum.

So be it *shrugs*

K thanks I read that but then thought I also read that she (Tas ) said that she wasn't, oh well back in my corner now, none the wiser lol

Not sure which "far right"one you mean Mog but I think the term "When hell freezes over"probably is the response you will get:^O

[rosymog]

why yes puddle, lthink you could be on a winning comment there

[azureline**]

Hmm, having to agree with Puddles here.
:^O
Albie, there were 9 people involved in the swap, all of us completed some blocks for others, 2 dropped out at different stages, one because real life was too hectic. She did not get to make one for me, hence I did not include her name.

[rosymog]

come'n karen, give a little
talk rosie into it.

you could possibly go over and help too

l don't mind , really, l don't mind at all.

oh can l have some nice vanilla colored tassles on the corners of the quilt too please
taaaaaaa muchly.


now l must away to do things that involves aprons
and cork screws.
:O

[azureline**]

cork screws? aprons? are you clothed?:O
and I only make pieced quilts.... I am not silly enough to try a whole piece...... or even small pieces...of white/cream fabric....think dog hair.... child handprints.... juice...
