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.

Re: Old Chinwag Craft Board Block Swap 2007

yes, it is the one and thank you little stars and LTS.
I have been involved in Relay for Life for the last 2 years a team my daughter started as we have had more than our fair share of cancer in our family. It is a Cancer council event. We raised funds in various ways and walked from 3pm to 9am, last night. A team of 15 so we took shifts, walking in pairs for an hour each time. Our theme was Mum's on a Mission, pink camoflage colours.
Miss Linda was kind enough, along with various other quilty friends, :-x to donate hand made items etc for our fundraising efforts. Our team raised over $4500 at Friday nights tally, more since.
The quilt was part of our prize pool. I am truly blessed with wonderful friends and family. (especially my girls):-x

azure - wow, what a great effort by everyone involved. That's a great sum to have raised!

I know there is a team of Mums from our school who are doing the RFL event here, which I think they are doing in Nov. There is also a group from our Church, which has a lot of people involved. It's being done in Nov because of reno's to the stadium that's used for it.
