Sew though it was a great day to stay in and get my Swap Blocks done and work on Terry's Stars but everything seamed to go wrong..
First this happened after I put in a new blade
then I sewed the 2 1/2” block on the back of star
and I had to do some reverse sewing after I took a photo and sew this.……
Thankfully all went well after that and I completed the blocks
One lady asked for “Girly Fabrics” in any pattern block and the other requested “Pinwheels in Pastels”. I think I covered both..
and my Stars.
this is the Halloween Block I made and sent ?????
When I collected the mail this gorgeous Autumn postcard arrived from Tina. we both participated in Sheila's Postcard Swap..
and look at the lovely stitchery on the back. Thank you to both ladies.. I love to make and receive these little works of art.
The Barn Block was made for Sue in our Bee Swap….
nice one ah Ellyn!!
Well it is now well after midnight and time for me to say Goodnight…

Sorry about the oopsies! Looks like you have everything under control now. I love your barn block. And I need to get started on my stars today, now that we're home from vacation. How many do you have finished?
ReplyDeleteLOL, don't you just love the christmas stamp? That is all the post office had for my "fall" postcard.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see someone else sews like I do at times! I'm also glad you were able to fix things and get them right!
ReplyDeleteThe block looked great in the end, Maria. You had a busy day and managed to get quite a bit done.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you weren't put off by the shaky start because you achieved so much. Well done.
