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.

Have not been doing a lot - just as couple of cross stiches for the greatgrandies for Christmas - will post those shortly.

Hi rosie - I just ran in here for a quick look - I live having a trawl through old posts in this thread, so much great info & advice, so I'm with you - hoping the thread doesn't go....

BEAUTIFUL cross- stitching, rosie - and SNAP! the one for Tilly-Jay is very similar to one I have the design for!! They are very lcky bubs, as not many babies get given hand-crafted things as gifts these days.

Hi Azure!
