.. my Hive #4 block for August, I had my new fabric...
and logged on to read the instructions ... when-ever I read "this is a fun and quick block"... my heart begins to sink!! OH NO !! This time I was hoping to be proved wrong.... BUT NO... I have made 2 blocks as requested..
BUT NEVER AGAIN! They were NOT quick, they were NOT easy.. they WERE frustrating and fiddley.... because of the way the corners were attached they created A LOT of waste fabric .. and I NEVER want to make them again . They are going in the post to-day.. and good riddence x
One of the ladies had posted a picture on the blog with the caption .. they are wrong, they are in the post.. I dont care!.. I SO know what she ment xx
On the positive side I have found I like red and white fabric xx

.. from the Australian-Christmas-Block-Swap, I touch ,and stroke, and plan what I am going to do... then I put them away again!
SO,.. I decided I had to ACT!!!!
I have started sort of medium sized...... then I can get bigger ..or smaller.. if I want to!
I made this table/bed/wall runner..
with 3 of my blocks that I felt went together well x There is no rule as to what block is sent/received .. just Christmas fabric .. (if anyone wants to join in the button thingy is on the side bar)
the fabric on the back is a piece I have had hanging around .. bought it and it never seemed to fit with what I was working on..
found a use at last x

... for this month calls for red and white fabric x NOW while my stash is threatening to take over the house.. there is very little red ... and NO red and white! I know.. can you believe it?!!
SO what is a quilter to do? BUY FABRIC OF COURSE!!! I'm surprised you had to ask xx
This wonderful fabric came today..
from www.thetabbycat.com I ordered it YESTERDAY ..and YES .. it came today normal service NOT special x.. talk about wonderful and fast service ... and they have the most fabulous address at MUFFIN CORNER ...isn't that just wonderful? I love it xx
Off to make my blocks
