We've finally had some rain ... yipeeeeeeee. It's been really dry here in SA - only 50 mms since 1/1/13 - had at least 3 mm today :) I've been busy with the "Spring 13 Mystery Quilt" we're up to week 5 - can't wait to see the finished article.


There is a deliberate mistake in the photo (I've unsewn and resewn to fix it!!) - the light wasn't brilliant so you don't really see the colours but I like it so far.

I've finally finished my Fall 12 Mystery Quilt - I even quilted it myself


I've also participated in the "Dreaming of Spring" mini quilt swap - sent mine to Canada.


Finally I've made blocks for my Quilting Blocks Australia and Christmas Block Swap Australia Partners - here's some recent ones..........





Last but not least my 11 year old daughter was inspired by the Fall 12 Mystery Quilt and wants to try making her own - here's the progress so far (I helped with the cutting but she's done 75% of the sewing)


I'm going to listen to the rain (one of the benefits of a tin roof).........

Fat Quarters received from Narelle and Helen (March & April partners - Fat Quarter Swap)



How lucky am I? Can't wait to use all of these - yellow is my all time favourite colour :)
Gorgeous blocks received this month - Thank you Linda NSW (Quilting Block Swap Australia) 



and thank you Linda QLD (Christmas Block Swap Australia)



Fat Quarter Swap - these went to Helen in QLD


and a birthday present for Barb 




Busy day today  - finally finished my "Fall MQ" Jack of Hearts - I'm really pleased with it. It was destined for my bed but eldest daughter has other ideas.............





I've started on my Spring MQ now - managed to cut all my fabric and complete both clues - there's something to be said for a rainy day.




Not sure what's next - Friday seems a long way away for the next clue....

Busy, busy long weekend.....




This is my April Swap Block for Linda in QLD and her birthday gift :) Quilting Blocks Swap Australia will be 3 on 6th April. The photo doesn't do it justice - it's pastel pinks.



Christmas Quilting Block Swap for Vicki in NSW- like me she's a traditional girl.



This is my first ever attempt at a table runner..... I used a Moda Charm Pack called Farmer's Market by Brannock and Patek. This is also for a swap - organised by Sue of Quilting Blocks Swap Australia. I made the whole charm pack but then decided it was too long so ended up with a smaller quilt too 12" square so I'm going to send that to my partner Larissa too.




Need to do some research on how to personalise my blog more - just not sure where to look.....
