Tumbaweeds Round Robin


This is Betty's round robin I did before I did Stephanie's... it is out of order but that doesn't matter. I am glad to say this month they all go home. I will be posting Stephanie's on Thursday

More Theme blocks



So as you can see I have been very busy making blocks...

Tumbaweeds Theme swaps






Our group has come along in leaps and bounds. We have 40 members now and so many swaps going it is a little hard to keep up with them.. I feel as owner I need to join in on all of them to see the work coming through. So here are the blocks I have done since my last posting.

Tumbaweeds Row x Row





I have been busy doing my row x row flowers.. never again will I applique in a row x row. I don't wear a thimble so my fingers have holes in them and why does the needle always find that sore spot.

I finished Mellie's Irises and Rayleen's Pansies. I am now busy working on Ann's Tulips and Irises.

Mellie's Rows are Trees. She used Hand Dyed Fabric... really nice.

Rayleen's Rows are Houses. She has used mainly Greens and Browns.


I really love how these rows grow as you add more rows to them.

Tumbaweeds Round Robin


Well, it doesn't look like I have been doing any sewing lately but that is not correct... I have finally finished Stephanie's Round Robin. She started with a folk art centre and I did the final round of picket fence. I really hope she likes the final results. This quilt finally came to measure 78" x 84". It was really hard to take a photo. The wind blew at exactly the correct time...
