Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

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.

Great stuff chuk...luv it!



Ooooh ladies I went to the Quilt & Craft Fair today.

OMG spent from 10.30 to nearly 3.30 there.


Loved it!!!!!

Apart from the great fabrics on sale, and the demonstration of wonderful machines....I sooooo want that top of the range Janome..... there was a quilt exhibition of local quiltesr which was very cool, don't know how many, maybe 150

BUT there was an exhibition by Jenny Bowen (I think..will check that) inspired by Eygptian Tent makers and her travels in that area plus lots of her "art" quilts.


Just utterly amazing. I spent about an hour just gazing.... I took pics on my phone, if I can work out how to do it will post some. Just blown away!!!
