Jennie's Block

Finally finished! I love the purples. I'm not very good at the stitching so it was harder than I thought for me. Now that my kids have returned to school I will get to the next block. Hopefully it won't take an extra month!

Lucy's blocks

Hello everyone, well the British weather has reverted to type and yet again we have showers!  Heyho, we just have to make the most of it.

I did Lucy's two blocks (above)at the weekend and really enjoyed making them in between watching the Olympics  Will get them in the post later this week.  Lucy, I loved the colour combinations, particularly the green/yellow one, which is unusual for me as they are not colours I would normally gravitate to.  Hope you are happy with them

best wishes
Jennie

Auckland!

We are now living in temporary accomodation for three weeks while we try and find a rental property, this is proving more difficult than expected with few rentals available and what is available is small and over priced.  Hopefully something will sort its self out over the next few weeks.
I have never lived in Auckland before but for the past week it has rained heaps but then the sun comes and the temperatures are very mild which is great.  The boys keep asking are you sure this is winter.
I have nearly finished the circles, (sorry I have taken so long) I thought I could stitch on the plane but the light was so bad (the eye sight not much better) so am finishing it up now and will get it in the post early next week.
Lucy can you please send my July fabric to my niece at her business, the address is:
Edible Blooms, 13/6 Airborne Road, Rosedale 0632, Auckland
Thanks I see her often so I can easily get it from her.
The photos of the circles and Lucy block look fantastic so I am looking forward to getting my new (old) Featherlite out and stitching away.
I was in Devonport yesterday and found Cushlas Quilt shop and as per usual I could not get out the door without making a purchase, funny how quilt shops do this to you, I hope its not just me this happens too!!  They have lots of classes going and it seemed a very busy place as the classes are held above the shop, I think I could hang out down there very easily.
Happy quilting
Catherine

Very exciting...arrived home to find Vrenis' beautiful blocks in the mail! Thank you so much - I think they are wonderful. Then came on the site and saw the photos - Really pleased with how they look!!! Belisimo!!

Lucy's Block

Hi Lucy
Will be putting these into the mail on Wednesday, hope you like them.
I loved the colours you chose and rather fancy having a go at making one myself!

 I really enjoyed making these blocks and love the colours. I found the website with the pattern and it revealed all as I was puzzled as to how you would join the blocks!! Obvious when you know how!

Finished!!

The circle block has been posted ..I am sorry it has taken so long Jennie. I did get carried away with the bubbles!
Have already started cutting the squares for Lucy.

I think we are slightly warmer than you Joanne and to wake to sunshine was sheer delight.Have a good weekend everyone.
