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.

Beautiful stuff there Azure. You are very productive.

Rosie, those cross stitches are absolutely  beautiful.

Made a Christmas runner for a friend the other week, forgot to take a pickie of it:-(. She has it and is caravanning across the country so no chance of a pickie now.

Made a Christmas stocking for baby granddaughter and am making some little dresses but I now have to go and buy some zips for the dresses. Grrrr. Pickie later perhaps.

Looking for little dress piccies!

In the meantime, today's stitching. Notebook cover with pen holder and business card pocket. Just playing with designs atm.

Latest project.

Those are lovely Karen - did you make up the pattern yourself?

[azureline**]

yes Rosie, however I did find an online tutorial for a simple one but had to adjust the size and the way I sewed it etc.....then I came back and made some changes after I had made 13 with my daughter. Added business card slots and the pen holder. Still working on it but have to stop for a while as I have a million things to do.

I am doing some random colours, started with black and white, not sure which button to use though, black or white?

I think the black would look classier - that is really nice.

I think black would be nice too.:-D
