After the Easter/Anzac break I went into town to post my MAY Swap blocks. A parcel for Cheryll and Jan.
Christmas Blocks
Aussie Swap
Gai’s Block.
It was sew good to have sew many days to stitch.
I was delighted to also pick some lovely mail for me .
My beautiful block from Gai with a great FQ as well.
The giveaway I won from Janet, A Novel and look at the other wonderful treats Janet popped in. Two magazines and a beautiful purse. Just love the fabric you used .
and the cutest Easter Card from my special Kiwi friends from across the ditch.
Thanks heaps to all of you.
Today was much cooler so after a walk along the beach I came home and FINALLY cleaned out my SHED.
There have been little furry things living in the there and left their droppings all over my bench and light box. YUK!!!
I took everything out and then swept and scrubbed.
Even bleached my fish .
Ah!!! Nice and clean.Now I can finally finish my window and not before time. If you click on the word window you will see what I mean.
I hope to sit in the sewing room tonight and TRY to finish a quilt before the end of the month.
Happy Stitching.
Your stained glass window looks fantastic, all the best in getting it finished- I don't like little furry things either and with the colder weather it's time to make sure they stay outside. You were lucky in that give away, nice blocks too
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks... do you have patterns or make them up.... ? How lovely to have your own shed... now the little furries are gone.... and what a lovely stained glass window.... I love, love, love it....

ReplyDeleteLove the blocks you made, too!
It's always great to see all the different swap blocks.Love the window that you are making - hope you got it done and also made good progress on the quilt you wanted to finish.
ReplyDeleteO Maria - just break my heart! Stained glass is one of those things that just take my breath because they are so beautiful. Plus, I totally adore your design.
ReplyDeleteOne time I asked for a class from a man who did it . I had done some embroidery work for it-but he did not have enough time -so I was unable to carry through.
So, I applaud the beauty that you have created! :)
Maria,you have talent in lots of areas... nice window! Love MY block... I'll wait by the mailbox for that one! Thanks!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mum,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the weather allowing us to get things done.
I have started a little wall out the front of the house. It is much easier to go outside without melting away.
Will send you some photos.
Love DD2
