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.

Lovely Azure...I'm sure Miss will be delighted.



No sewing for me 😞 My dear beloved old Janome has passed away last night. As I had it repaired a few years ago and told how worn it was I feel it would be unwise to spend more on it. I do have my old Janome and mums Elna but will need to drag them out, clean them up and get them going in the interim.

Rosie, that is lovely, bet he is happy!


Are you liking your new sewing room?:-x


Twinkle, so sorry about your machine. I am still holding off getting a new one, waiting for my machine to kick the bucket. I am now looking at the Horizon instead of the 6600P.

Nice quilts ladies.



Love the tyres Rosie, unusual and really good to be able to use in a quilt for a man.
