A Trashy Block!!!

Dear Jane BOM

I made this block using just fabrics from the trash!!  Heehee!  Yup, scrounged the bin at our last quilt-meeting and said that I could make something pretty from what my quilting buddies threw in the garbage!!!
I think it turned out ok....for trash, that is!!!
The "scrap-lady" strikes again!!!

On The Rocks!

This picture was taken on the penninsula, Kullen, in Sweden a few years ago.  I just love all of the rocks!  I dedicate this shot to my Icelandic friend, Anna Margrét, who is a rock fanatic!  With the volcanic eruptions going on in Iceland right now, I am thinking of her often, hoping that all is well with her and her family.  Take care, Anna Margrét!

Spring Swap Goodies!

Isn't this little black-bird cute??!!! 

Here are my lovely spring goodies which I received from my swap-partner, Karina, from Lithuania!  This sweet birdie decorates the front cover of a beautiful, hand-bound journal.  Karina's hand-work is just so exceptional!

 

Along with the journal, came some very pretty pieces of fabric and a cute card!  Thanks so much, Karina! 

I just love my swap goodies!!!

Here is the stitchery holder I sent to Karina (made from a pattern by Natalie Lymer!), a matching card and two Fat Quarters in blue tones.  As Karina mentioned to me that she one day hopes to learn to quilt, I included a few essentials in the stitchery holder to help her along!!

Good luck, Karina!

Make sure you post a picture of your first Quilt Block! 

Thanks again for swapping with me!

Cheers,

Mary Ann
