The Quilting Sisters - round robin

As I said before I have had busy little fingers today and as well as finishing Lorraines Food block I also finished Dianne's Round Robin. I was not in this round but offered to do some so the Robin could go home. I found the RR very green and orange..lol.. what did I do... green and orange. I did the final two rounds. I felt the quilt was too small just adding 1 round. I hope Dianne likes it. I did see this quilt at the 2nd round so it was interesting to receive it for its final round.

No to my suffix puffs.

Tumbaweeds - Aussicans swap

I have had busy little fingers today. Lorraine popped in and visited our lovely ladies in South Australia on Thursday so she is just around the corner from home. I didn't want her arriving home and me still not finished her swap. Well I got stuck into it today and did Gingerbread Men. This is a lovely swap and now finished and ready to go home.

SCQIS Advent swap

For my friend Marell this year I am giving her and Advent swap. This is where you make up a gift of 24 little gifts and 1 larger one. I then sent it to a lady who in return will send Marell a parcel. She then gets to open a present every day until Christmas day. Today I finished the coasters I had made. I joined Mellie to the $2 swap and myself to the $5. The square coasters are for Marelle's swap back and front shown and the 'Allsorts" (6) are for my swap.

QNF Sampler swap

I promised myself that I wouldn't join anymore swaps... Ha! I am addicted. I have just joined a Sampler swap with QNF. This month was 9 patch. I was going to do the same block for everyone than emails went down on where to look for each persons favoutite colours. The birthday list. I don't know about anyone else but I use my Birthday colours to stock my stash with fabrics I don't have and then I get others ideas on differnt fabics. My next Birthday swap I have asked for WOW Batik. I haven't seen any just saw an email about it and thought "Oh yes.. I want that". The US get ranges of fabrics much quicker than us in Australia so what better way to get in first... :-)

For this swap I have used: Blue for Connie; Patriotic for Dom; Brights for Nicki; Asian for Sarah and Red/Brown for Virginia. I really hope they like their blocks.

Rowroundrobin 'Add A Block'

This week I received my Add A Block home. I did the block in the bottom right hand corner and used Dolphins as my themes. I was very happy with the blocks I received... all types of quilting from a Mariner's Compass from Lesley to embroidered dolpins from Sue and another lady not even in the swap. I can't wait to get it together. Shenay my niece whom this is for will just love it.

QNF Wedding block

QNF is running a 'Make a Block' for Pooks wedding. I received the 3 patterns and the 4 fabrics last week. I found making this block a little challenging.. not in the block making but how to wangle the fabric I received to fit the block. Of course you never get enough fabric to do the block as designed. Well I am very happy with how my block turned out but it isn't exactly the same as Quilterscache have the colours.

Butterfly swap

I haven't been doing very much quilting over the past few weeks. That is not to say I don't have things to do. I am currently working on Christi's tiger face. That is taking a while to do. I did finish my 5 butterflies for the Butterfly swap with Swapping to Friendship, Janine is running. Janine lives in my area but on the other size of Wagga Wagga to me. I will be travelling that way in December so will check the road map and see if I can catch up with her.
Here are my butterflies.
