Welcome to Happy Mail for another week.
I didn't have a lot of happy mail to show you this morning .....
and then I went to the Post Office!
Now that is happy mail!
For all the new followers this is when I showcase all the lovely things that have arrived in the mail. USUALLY there are several Block of the Month blocks to share. Blocks of the Month are a specific block that I stipulate at the beginning of each month. I write a tutorial (unless I can get someone to write one for me!) and post it on the blog with lots of photos. You can see February's BOM post here and January's BOM here. I tried something new this month and I suspect that it has not been as popular or perhaps as easy as previous months. This month the BOM block is an appliqued word. I know a few people are having a go and I am loving what has come in so far.
Go to the top of the Class Karen B! You did a BONZA job and were first in!
And another BRAVO to Judy C for her four fabulous blocks. If you look closely you will see that Judy has free motioned her letters on - what fun!
Loving these blocks and looking forward to seeing some of the others I have heard abou
Louise send down three quilt tops, a nautical one
a rugby themed quilt top
and a the golf themed quilt top.
She was kind enough to make a matching laundry bag for the last one as well.
Louise also sent me this gorgeous wacky magpie fabric. I just love it! There is only a little bit of it but isn't it just wonderful! Not sure what I am going to do with it but I know that just the right person will come along for it.
Miriam sent me two more of her simply wonderful quilt tops as well. These are such a simple classic design but they always look so great once they are quilted and bound.
Anne sent me a terrific completed quilt. Perfect for an Essendon fan!
Lynn sent more of her fabulous quilt tops including two that are special requests that I asked her to make. Thanks so much Lynn!
I already got to this one and added the roos.
Perfect for a dirt biking fan
And one for a four wheel driving nut
And last but not least look what the lovely Stephanie D from WA sent me! Not one but two Space Invader blocks! Don't you just love them! These are just perfect for the fellow I wanted them for but there is no way I would have had time to sew them myself. I am just so grateful that Stephanie responds to begging and pleading in emails in hot pink letters in huge font! Stepanie - you are AWESOME - there you go - you have it in writing.
Till next time .........keep spreading the word and happy stitching!
Those word 'BOMs' look great, I must finish mine. I was just waiting to see what someone else did, not I can cut out the letters I have marked out and get to it. There seem to be very few limits on what can be done with fabric.
