Well mainly my Stampin' Up! and cardmaking Mojo! I haven't made any for ages - I'd been using cards I'd made previously to send along with swap blocks but I had an idea (I know! there's a first time for everything, hey??) and made 3 cards. They will be perfect for block swaps.
Not thrilled with some of the colour combinations but I played with some DSP that had already been pre-cut into 6" squares and it had a lot of new colours in it for which I had no co-ordinating cardstock.
I also made Nolene's log cabin block for the
block swap. I'm really pleased with it. I was terrified it would end up too small due to the number of seams but it's fine!
I also made another block for
Linden since her August one never arrived :-( I made it different just it case it ever does turn up. I'm happy with how it turned out. I only have slight issue with 2 of the points. The rest are OK and it's also the right size!
Today I'm planning to do Kathy's block. I ran out of time yesterday since I spent the afternoon at a
Chef's Toolbox party and made the recipes as soon as I got home. YUM!
I'm in two minds about posting block swap pics before they are received by the recipient. I've been wanting to try out a poll on this blog so I'll do that! Make sure you vote! (it's on the top left!!)
Just wanted to clarify - I'll post pics of the blocks both on my blog and the Quilt Block Swap one but my dilemma is timing. Do I post them as soon as I've made them or wait til they have been received so as to not spoil the surprise???
