Bye from CathyC in Australia

Hi everyone, this is my last post for this group :(

Some of you may know that I am currently studying and I have had to make a decision to step back for the time being.

I have loved being part of this group - I have some lovely blocks to show for it too - and will send a photo to  Melissa when I have made up my next 'Friendship Quilt'.

Bye for now, and happy swapping!

Cathy

blocks to and from CathyC

I have been remiss in not blogging about my blocks here on the group blog
So I have made a list and checked it twice ............ here is what I missed

This is the block I made for Rosalyn for BSA for September. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from Rosalyn, so I don't know if it has been received or not and I haven't received a block from her yet.

Here is a block I made for Susan in July - this was my first time making a pinwheel block and I must admit, I enjoyed it very much.

Susan made this one for me ;-)

if I have missed anyone, please let me know ;-)

Lattice Square block for Holly

this is what I have sent to Holly

This was the first time making this block - it was a bit of a challenge, but I conquered in the end ;-)

Blocks from and to Susan

I have been remiss in not posting a photo of the lovely block I received from Susan for July.

Here is what I made for Susan - this was my first time making a pinwheel block and I must admit, I enjoyed it very much.

Cheers,

CathyC

Dutchman's Puzzle for Donna from CathyC

I completed a Dutchman's Puzzle block for Donna - this one was fun ;-)  

I tried a new 'no waste' way of making flying geese and once I got the maths right (it took a few attempts ;-))  ...... it came together just fine

Donna, your block is packed ready to post - I just have to get out to the Post Office ;-)

Block from Richard .... and a pretty extra

Morning everybody ;-)

I have received two blocks from Richard for March and I am feeling very special  ;-)

Richard has asked me to post pics for him  ;-)

thank you Richard - I hope the waiting game for the new baby is over soon ;-)

Block for Richard in the mail ;-)

Hi there

I have finished the block for Richard for March Block Swap Adventure and it is in the mail ;-)

Richard asked for any block in any colour ;-)

February block from Michelle

Hi everyone

Here is the great block from Michelle

Thanks so much Michelle, love the fabrics you have chosen ;-)

Here is the block I sent her 

Michelle asked for any block in any colour - so I turned to my fave Starflower block

Friendship Quilt

My First Finish for 2012 ........ Yay!!!!!

I finally got around to piecing together some of the blocks I have received in 2010 and 2011.

Ready to snuggle under when it gets a bit colder ;-)

I love the fact that all these different blocks have come from different parts of the world and look so great together.  I am really looking forward to snuggling under this one this coming winter ;-)

You can see more pics on my blog post HERE

So to my swap partners, thank you so much for the lovely blocks you have made.

Blocks for December & January

Annie, my swap partner for January has let me know the block I made for her has arrived safely.

Annie asked for "Anything but I really like stars, bear paw and churn dash ..... in Blue ..... with bright whites as contrast".

I have also received a beautiful block from Colleen for December, along with some beautiful extras ;-)

I need to take a photo when the light is a bit better, and will post a pic soon ;-)

Have a great day everyone, see you on FNSI
