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.

Some gorgeous ladies made these mug rugs for me as part of a fundraiser, they are very talented and so generous, I just wanted to share them.

Ohhh stippling, that's a dirty word, at the mention of darning foot, I get sweaty palms, it terrifies me, I freeze up and no amount of talking to myself will allow me to relax, guess I will never be a stippler, LOL

Wow Karen, they are stunning, love the fish ones. Very cute.


Not a huge fan of stippling either Misslinda. I've just done some on a single bed quilt,it's OK. Put it this way, as its for a 3 year old who is unlikely to be critical, I'm not unpicking it, but It'll be a long time before I decided to do a big area like that again:(
