Swap jackpot!

Santa came yesterday but I have been spoiled already this month when I received 2 lovely parcels from my last swaps of the year. The first I received was the #jollyswap all the way from Monique in Australia. And I loved it of course. What could have been better than a bright and happy Christmas tree made of hexagons?

And Monique didn't stop there, she also embroidered this gorgeous zentangle(?) tree in a hoop for me.

Look at this gorgeous package she sent me. I am really happy with yet another amazing swap (I love the Santa on his surf on the card!).


The second was the #igminiswap. For this one, I had my eye on a gorgeous white and red star that Esther was showing and I was secretly hoping that it would land in my house (I even teased Esther a few times about it) so when I received this huge parcel and saw her name on it, I couldn't contain my joy. I am so so lucky, I have received the most gorgeous mini which fits so well in our living room (yes hubby had to stopped his TV program there and then to hang it straight away)


and the extras Esther send were so great too. Look at this pouch with a pocket and an Eiffel Tower lining


and the mini pin cushion on a ring, how clever is that!


Now you know why I can't stop myself signing for gorgeous swaps after gorgeous swaps!

September in the Hexagon!

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y

Blog hop and a giveaway

Welcome to my blog if you are new here and found me from the Quilting Gallery website and welcome back if you are a regular reader. I have written a blog for over 2 years now but started quilting about 10 years ago, mainly self-taught. I love fabric and my stash is probably too big for my needs, but can a girl really have TOO MUCH fabric? I don't think so! Michele at the Quilting Gallery is organising a blog hop for the 4th anniversary of her site . If you don't know the quilting gallery yet, you need to hop over there and have a look around, there is plenty to browse at. Every week, there is a themed-contest. Everyone can enter their quilts and everyone can vote on the entries. Well worth having a look at, you can even enter your quilts if they fit the theme. I have entered a few times in the past, but never won! From September until December, 36 designers shared a Christmas block for free in the " Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along ", you can still collect the pat

Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along

Image
  Yes I know, another new project... but (!) this one is all about using my scraps, what's not to love. And the instructions come in German for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along .  The first 3 blocks are made of rectangles and I used only scraps to make those (I can't really say I have made a dent in my scrap basket either actually...) I picked green as the focus colour for the blocks since this is the January colour for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge organised by Angela I joined the challenge years ago but hadn't participated in recent times. Of course it would be tempting to start yet another project but I think using my scraps for this quilt along in the set colour of the month is a safer plan.
