FNWF...

That's right tomorrow is 

 Oh! that's a bit large hahahaha

anyway it is here with Cheryll

this is what I will be working on

 a baby quilt for my daughters friend...

 this is one of my birthday pressies, from my daughter, her hubby, my bestie (grandson) and my bestie girlfriend... had some blocks laying around so made some quick cushions for it...

Swap Time...

I have been in another swap, this time for a block keeper, organised by the lovely Maree.

my partner who sent to me was Jeanette

and this was the lovely parcel of goodies that arrived on my birthday of all days.

 gorgeous block keeper

 and some pellon sewn inside so I can keep a few blocks flat 

(I didn't do that in mine)

such a wonderful idea... Thank you Jeanette for all my goodies.

 This is the block keeper that I sent to Christine

 I purchased some French General off eBay especially for this swap

and so glad I did as the fabrics are just lovely...

 the red and grey looks so good in this gumtree too

 I added a handle and a purse clasp.

I also made it quite big so it could hold some larger blocks.

 and I stitched Christine's initial inside too

 you can get the initial patterns from Michelle

and

look how my little puppy is growing... he is now 5 1/2 weeks old.

I don't get him for another 2 weeks... 

I think the whole family is excited about him coming.
