I received another lovely camisole block; this one was from Carrolyn in Washington. Isn't it WOWZY?
I also got 2 blocks from 2 of the ladies in the Christmas block swap. I absolutely LOVE them. I need to get busy on the 8 I have to make as well for this swap. I've chosen a pretty intricate block called St. Gregory's Cross; here is a link to the pattern... http://www.quilterscache.com/S/StGregorysCrossBlock.html It will be done in the Christmas green and reds like the two I received - of course it will be fabric from my stash so it won't be the exact same fabric but close enough that they will all work together in a quilt. I'll post a picture once I've completed a block.... better get busy on them in the morning. Here are the two I've received...
While at Michaels I saw these cute little butterfly decorative "buttons" and thought that they would make up into some adorable magnets for the fridge. And here they are on my fridge - I'm thinking these would make some nice Christmas gifts as well.
OH, LOVE the quilt blocks...very nice and colorful :) :) What are fabric noodles? I've heard of fat quarters and jelly rolls...although jelly rolls are still a bit of a mystery :) :) those refrigerator magnets are very creative. Those would make great presents. i've actually been thinking about what kind of homemade gifts I could make this year :) :) Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteThe "noodles" that we exchange are 2 1/2" strips in the theme for that month. And we've been sending 3 noodles the width of the fabric (44"-45") OR 6 half widths for a greater variety. In December we will be switching to 10" "cake squares" - 4 per month in the theme. The cake squares can be just sewn together and made into a quick quilt. The noodles can be used in any block that can be strip pieced - like the rail fence block.
