In the pink swap




These three squares and wishes were the final three to arrive from the in the pink swap that I hosted. I am lucky as both swaps which I organised I have recieved squares from everyone. Some swaps that you join, some squares and wishes dont arrive. I am not sure if this is the mail or people dont send them out. Its a real shame.

The cream and pink pattern comes from the Judge Family, Australia.


The lovely pink gingham material comes from my good cyber buddy Janet, all the way from the UK. Thanks J:)

And the pretty pink floral pattern comes from the Harper family from Canada.

Today the backing arrived for my quilt, now I have my squares, sashing, wadding and backing there is no excuse! I intend to start sewing the front the first week of March and have given myself a month to complete the front. I am still not sure if I will then send it out to be quilted by someone more experienced than myself. It also depends on if we get our referral before then!

RQ swap


This square and wish comes from part of the rumour queen swap and was sent by the Bigalow family in Florida.

This was a large swap and I should still have 12 more squares to arrive if everyone posts them! Also this week I have participated in four more individual swaps.

I now have exchanged enough squares to start sewing the main quilt soon, probably at the end of the month one the book is finished and the decorating done! I have also finally ordered the backing! So when that arrives there will be no excuse!

In the Pink Swap


This pretty pink butterfly material and wish came from the Walpert family, AL from the in the pink swap that I hosted. The last day for mailing has now passed so hopefully the other three squares will arrive soon.
