Ruffled Wonky

Saturday's mail brought me another beautiful block!  This creative block was designed by Lana.  She calls this wonderful block "Ruffled Wonky".  I hope you can click on it to enlarge it so you can see all of the little blocks used in making this block.  Thank you, Lana!!  (I'm sorry that the picture is a little dark)

Sneak peek for Linda

Here is a little sneak peek at a block I designed and called 'Flor Linda'.  I may be a little late sending it as I have been sick and may not get to mail it until Saturday.

This has been fun!  I can't wait to see what is coming up this next month.

A Little Look for Linda

Finally decided on the block for Linda, then I had to make a test block just to be sure before I started cutting into fabric that wasn't mine.  (This is only my second bee/swap block ever and I was a little nervous.) I didn't realize what a challenge it would be to come up with a block that would not only fit the color and style of the fabric but also enough of each color for the block elements.  It was a fun challenge though and I hope Linda, that you'll be as pleased with the outcome as I am.  The fabrics you chose are SO pretty and I really enjoyed working with them.  I should be able to get this in the mail tuesday.

Sneak Peak!

So my Mom, Jadie, doesn't have a blog, so I am posting a sneak peak of her block for Linda. We had fun racking our brains on what to do with it (I know its supposed to be her making it, but we do a lot of things together!) She (and I) hope you like it Linda! (ps she mailed it out today, so you should be getting it soon!)

Blocks From Shannon, Melissa, & Charlene

 It has been so much fun to peek into my mail box lately and find smushy envelopes addressed to me!



This beautiful block was made by Shannon.  She said that she had fun making this block and the Block Swap Adventure block that she sent me in the same envelope (smart thinking there!).  She also included a post card of Idaho which is in the photo I am sharing on BSA.  I like the arrangement of the fabrics.  Thank you, Shannon!!

This wonderful block is from Melissa.  She included the darling little note card that let me know that this is her 'first swap block ever'.  Well done, Melissa!  I'm sure your nerves will lessen with future blocks.  I like the way the blue travels around the center diamond.   Thank you, Melissa!!

This special block was made by Charlene S.  She included a note that said "The colors and florals are out of my usual color path.  It took me awhile to step out of the my 'self-imposed' box and see a block".  The arrangement of the different fabrics is perfect, Charlene!  Thank you!!

I had a thought after receiving these blocks.  In the future, when you are able to select any block you would like to make (like these), it would be nice to know the names of the blocks or if they are your original design.  What do you all think?
