AUTUMN FABRIC BIRTHDAYSWAP


This week I received this little quilt from Ellen in Germany. We are both member of an Internet quiltgroup called the Sewpals and last year we had to send out a piece of autumn fabric to all 13 members on our birthday. We decided to make this year a small quilt with pieces of all this fabrics as birthdaypresent for one of the other Sewpals. I received this lovely pinwheelquilt and made the redwork for Lorenza in Italy.













This year we have swapped fabric with a tea/cake/coffeetheme and we are now thinking about what to do the next year with these fabrics, maybe we will do some kind of round robin. Will tell you more when we have decided what to do!

Maybe you noticed that I have not been blogging for some time, I am sorry for that, but I had to take it easy because of heartrhytm problems. Today I had an appointment with the cardiologist but luckely there are no big problems found, so back to Crazy Quilting!

I have told you before about the Season to Season blockshare on CQForNewbies and showed you the Winter block I had made. This week I received the lovely STS Winterblock from Courtney that I have to embellish,I will start tonight working on it!
Of course I'll show you a picture when it is finished!

NEEDLECASE FINISHED.....

This is the needlecase (open and closed)that I finished this weekend for Maureen in Australia, totally different from the one she made for me, hope she likes it! I used her favorite creme colors together with pink and green.

NEEDLECASE RECEIVED....

Yesterday I received a package from Maureen from Australia.
It contained this gorgeous needlecase, you can imagine that I am very happy with it.
I only don't know if I dare to use it, beautiful as it is.
Maureen and I were swappartners this year at "CrazyQuiltersAroundTheWorld"
and we swapped baggies every 3 months and this is the last swap.
Maureen, thanks for being such a great swappartner, I enjoyed it very much!
