Tumbaweeds - Row x Row






We are doing a Row x Row in Tumbaweeds now and we have signed up with 10 ladies doing 9 x 9" blocks. I feel that this is too big a quilt but it appears the USA ladies prefer bigger quilts.

Lori is doing Mountains and Moons
Stepahnie is doing Maple Leaves
Carol is doing Applique Cats
Cheryl is doing Pieced Hearts
Betty is doing Houses
Lesley is doing Friendship Star
Margaret is doing Sun Bonnet Sue
Ann is doing Frogs
Marell is doing Trees
and I am doing Flowers.

I have chosen 9 different flowers and each lady can have the 9 or 1 whichever they prefer

Tumbaweeds - Calico cuties


I am doing a picture swap with SCQIS where I am doing 'An Egyptian Market Place' so I have decided to put that as the centre of a quilt and add Egyptian Gods around it to make a quilt. for my block I chose "Maat" . I got the fabric for a Christmas Present and just fell in love with it.

Tumbaweeds - Theme swaps



Well, I have been busy with Bounty Belles finishing 2 swaps Ann's Blue Wrens and Cheryl's Autumn.

Busy Hands make light work

My group has acquired so many new ladies that it is becoming overwhelming with all the extra swaps I have to run to keep everyone interested.

We now have 3 Theme swaps, the Round Robin coming to an end, a Row x Row starting up, a Picture Fabric Challenge and now an Advent Wallhanging and gifts.

My fingers have been so busy making blocks and getting them all sorted out ready for posting.

After a nice relaxing Christmas and New Year I am slowly catching up to date. Today I finished Bettys Round Robin and my Fabric Challenge Swap from an old swap in 2008.
