New boxes

Hello again. Today I received 3 boxes from  Arlene and 1 box from Sara.
I will just add some photos and hope you see your blocks. i will begin posting photos of some finished quilts made using blocks we have received  later this week.


There are some nice pieced blocks in this lot.

Nice star blocks, we all wished there were another dozen or more of those black,green and rust blocks .


We had a working bee at my studio Yesterday and here are some photos.

Lyn is sorting some blocks and collecting a pile to take home.the girls never go home empty handed.


Here is Sandra placing some blocks into tops in the foreground and Kaye sewing borders on tops in the background.
Val in the foreground is discussing colour ways and Caroline is listening on intently.
Val and Caroline again. Even my lovely big, airy,studio us getting a bit crowded. See all the rolls of batting and backings, in the background?

Now there are four of us rumonating over a lovely top  Lyn,Val,Caroline, and Wilma in the front.
