For Elaine

Hope you like your block hun, its on its way to you.

Checking in...

Hi everyone

I know I've been a little absent and hard to reach. I apologise.  I've been sick for over 2 weeks and just found out it's whooping cough turning into pneumonia!

Please bear with me!  April blocks will be sent out in the next day or so (will let you know) and partners sent out before the end of the month.

I apologise once again but I really haven't been myself. :-(

Pinwheel from Sue

Violet Elizabeth Finn born 20/4/2011

Pinwheel block from Sue

Above is the reason it has taken me 3 days to post that Sues lovely block made it across the country. My new grand daughter arrived at 3.54am yesterday morning, weighing in at 2885g and 47cm long. She is a month early as her mum our daughter Kate had high blood pressure and liver function problems. Miss Violet was induced at 8.40pm on 19th and born before her daddy made it back to the hospital, I was on Lily watch at there place. When Lily woke at 6.30am to find no daddy but only grandma she was upset until I told her where her dad was, she then became quiet excited. 

Thanks Sue for a great block and being my partner this month.

Block from Alex

Alex sent me this wonderful block for March and a little something else as her husband had promised to post it but didn't - excuse the toes, we have timber floorboards which are great to take photos on. Thanks Alex for this and a great swap, now to go do April's block for Susan in WA.

New Members for April

Hi Swappers!

Please join me in welcoming Natalie from Vic, Donna and Monica both from USA to our group.  These ladies will be doing their first swap in April.

Partners for April have been sent out so please check your emails and let me know if it hasn't arrived.

I'll be adding blogs to the sidebar in the next day or two so if you've only just started a blog please let me know so I can add yours!

tic tack toe all sent, Beth asked for this block in blues and greens

Alex's Swap Partners - please read!

I emailed you all last week to let you know your blocks are on the way and they were...as far as I knew.

DH promised to post them but I found them tonight still in his briefcase!!

I'm so sorry.  He kept meaning to post them and didn't realise the urgency.  It's so unprofessional especially for a co-ordinator so the Australian blocks are going out in express envelopes first thing in the morning and I'll ask at the PO what my options are for the International blocks.

I'll be enclosing a little gift in each envelope.  I'm so sorry!  This is the last time I rely on DH to do my mailing.

April partners will go out tomorrow.  We'll have 3 new members which I'm finalizing.

Please email me with any questions or concerns.

Hi and a block for Alex

Hi I joined this group this month after seeing on another swap group people also making and swapping in this group. I look forward to swapping and making blocks with group.

Baby bunting white and light purple

Alex asked me to make a baby bunting block which I have done, I hope she likes it.

I now have 3 lovely blue and white star blocks so thought I would post a picture of them

Thankyou to Alex, Sue and Kym who made them for me

More Swap Fun...

 There are a few new swaps happening which are related to the original Quilting Block Swaps Group so I thought I'd give you girls a heads up.  Buttons can be found in the side bars...

Sue B, who runs the above group has started a second swap group for 6 inch blocks. If you'd like to join, click the button below:

The other exciting swap is run by Cathy and is an unsewn swap.  Fat Quarters are exchanged each month!  How FUN!  Click on her button below to get more info.

Thank You...

For all the blocks I have received.

I hope I have emailed everyone to say they have arrived safely but as I have FIVE swap partners for March I'm being kept very busy, so I sincerely apologise if I have forgotten to email you!

I'll be posting photos of blocks I've sent and received and so on.

I'll also be mailing blocks to my March partners as soon as I can.  Happily there is a little fabric shopping to be done in order to have everything I need.

Even More members for March!

Wow this group is really taking off!

We've had another 2 confirmed members and another on the way!

We have Sue S from NSW who would like any star or pinwheel block in autumn colours and

Elaine W also from NSW who would like a Shoo Fly Block in bright colours on a white background.

Welcome ladies, we're thrilled to have you!
