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.

Night night PCT and all, sleep well ... and Pauline, you are too kind, I can't do a thing, but it's nice of you to say that ... :-x

[**meep**]

I used a sewing machine once to take up Miss' school uniform.

It took me a while to read the manual, got there eventually but I couldn't keep it straight and it ended up like a zigzag.


I think I would rather hook up a surround sound and a digital set top box.



Clever ladies. I'm also very jealous.

PS .. Pauline, it's funny because you are being kind in saying I can make things when everyone knows I can't ... :^O ... but that's okay, one day, I'll be as good as the skilled ones ... :-x
