SWAPS, CHARITY AND NEEDS

Just before this computer goes in for a service,I have a few little things to show you. I completed the Easter mini swap on time and posted it before the due date.


My 3rd crocheted baby blankie for the women's refuge is completed.

 



Yesterday I went to a Vic Quilters gathering in Kilmore with one of my patchwork groups. Despite the
7-00am start we had a fantastic time returning home around 7-30pm. We stopped at a lovely cafe in Kilmore for a cuppa and the bus driver ( one of the girls from our group) had a big brekkie. We got to the hall and checked in receiving a cute little fridge magnet ( which I haven't taken a pic of yet) and we settled in for a lovely day of stitching, chatting, guest speakers etc. Unfortunately, I forgot to take my camera so I haven't any pics of the gorgeous quilts that were on display, most of them being my much loved hexies. There were a couple of versions of the Insanity quilt I am doing. Anyhoo, as usual, there were stalls of local shops there and I purchased a couple of things. ( this is the "need" part). Some fat 1/4s of Civil War repros a cute little sewing tin and a lovely pair of embroidery scissors in a leather cover.




I have nearly finished the top of one of my little Civil War quilts , have crocheted  a couple more facewashers for charity , have  already worked out what I am doing for the mini swap due in July and am about to start an new Lynette Anderson little wallhanging. Hopefully next time I will have pics of the completed  "Sew Laugh Love" stitchery  the top of my little Civil War quilt and maybe a couple of other things.( Including the scissors I bought and didn't put in the pic above. Were you searching for them? Hehehehehe.

Until next time, I send you many angel blessings and hope that you can keep as relaxed as my cat.
