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.

Its gorgeous Karen.

How did a thank you thread turn into a disgusting woe is me thread?

I love the quilt Karen, I'm sorry others aren't big enough to bury grudges.

Your quilt looks great Karen, I love it and think its fantastic to have good quality hand crafted stuff to hand down through the generations. I am hopeless at sewing, my mother is very good at it though so I have a few things to pass down that she has made.

Forget the haters 😉 True colours and all that.

True colours and all that.

LOL, funny you should say that! I left here for a couple of minutes to get ready for bed, was mulling over what had happened here and that very song popped into my head.

Yup, I have seen more true colours tonight than I even did last night.:-(

Disappointing, but fascinating.

It's gorgeous, Karen! Beautiful! ♥

Beautiful quilt Karen, as a sewer myself I can appreaciate the work put in although I have never attempted to quit myself.

Sorry to see such a lovely thread turn as it did by pure jealousy. But, I believe EVERYONE now must see the true colours of this poster....if they doubted before they can no longer.

[twinkles**stars]

Don't worry yourself Beryl.....I have been privately emailed with what I asked for.

[beryll70]

Really that is no surprise.

I would remove your post requesting copies it could get reported.

One last comment ... 🙂

If people think I am jealous of others who can make quilts etc, so be it, but with this situation, where others have hollow issues with me that are baseless, groundless and built on fantasy, particularly those who have never met me, then so be it ... 🙂 That's just CS ... it does not affect my life :-). If text drama is the real need for a real life for some in here, then I say, go for it ... 😉

Cheers ... 🙂
