March blocks received

I had too many swaps going on in March.

  I did double duty in March for this swap too. 

So when I received this block near the begining of April,

 I thought wow my April partner is on the ball after a series of emails, she has nailed it!  Great, awesome block!  Oops!  She emailed me back after I thanked her and said she was still working on my block!  LOL!  Actually this beautiful block was made by the wonderful Brenda who joined our group last month!  Thanks Brenda!

And here are all four together.

Sneak peeks for Brenda and Theresa

My March Swap partners were Theresa and Brenda.

Here is Theresa's sneak peek.

And here is Brenda's sneak peek.

Warning: If you don't want to see the whole blocks don't visit my blog Lucky Duck Dreams!

:o) Colleen

It's Here!

Do you remember this peek from Brenda?

Well here is the complete block...

My beautiful block has arrived all the way from the lovely Brenda in Tennessee.

Brenda has managed to hit my colour request exactly, although you just cant see how incredibly pretty and beautiful the colours are in the photo.

I love Brenda's choice of block too - The Bird Of Paradise.

I wish you could see the true colours in this block, the purple is much more vibrant and so incredibly pretty and so too are the aquas.

I also received a delightful little surprise with my block, it made my day, maybe even my year :-)

Thanks Brenda, I LOVE my block.

A Block For Brenda in Tennessee

Hello fellow block swappers :-)

Well not only is this my very first swap but it is also my very first block - EVER!!!

Brenda from Tennessee USA of Quilter Raised in the South Blog asked for happy colors like blues, greens, pinks and browns. I think I have managed to get all four into the one block :-) Just to challenge myself a little more. At first I chose really bright colours but after reading Brenda's blog, I realised that our interpretation of bright colours may have been a little different. I then changed my colour choices to try to match colours she has already used to match her tastes.


The fabrics I have chosen have a little bit of an Aussie twist,which I thought would be cool to send overseas.


It has taken me a little longer to get my sneek peek posted. As I do not own a sewing machine, I have been doing this all by hand, and enjoying the process completely, even starting my very first quilt journal as well.


I have also enjoyed getting to know Brenda a little and look forward to learning of Brenda's reaction to my block - will she like it?, Receiving my own block, what a mystery and meeting more of you swappers.


So, after all that - here is a sneek peek for Brenda...

Oh, and Brenda's tip of STARCH, STARCH, STARCH has been invaluable - thanks Brenda.

Have a wonderful day
