I got my woodsy block done and sent off to Scott at
Blue Nickel Studios yesterday. There was some anxiety and fear that he will hate the style and possibly even the older background fabric. And then I thought, 'hey, it's a gift'. In the end, I couldn't separate the two trees because they looked like they belonged together!

I also received the Traveling Stash from
Em's Scrapbag! I've been soooo curious about these for the last couple years. Basically it's like having a mini quilting yard-sale delivered right to your mailbox!
 |
| What was in the box.... |
Lots of goodies to choose from. It was hard to make a decision about what to keep!
 |
| My haul... |
Even harder to figure out what to put in the box in exchange! I finally settled on this: 1 small bag of quilting labels, a box of tan Rit dye, 2 pkg. of John James needles, 50+ flying geese parts (the same ones from the Woodsy block), a fall fabric panel, various fat quarters, 2 half yard pcs. of fabric and then I threw in my 'Stir Crazy' pattern book from Buggy Barn just because it seemed like a good idea.*wink

That is such a great woodsy block, I love the curving trunk . A travelling stash is such a fun idea , it's been ages since I last saw it pop up.

I love your tree blocks. I can see a whole quilt done with them.
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate in the traveling stash. It sounds like a lot of fun. Hugs
I'll bet that Scott will love that block--unique, whimsical and sure to please.
ReplyDeleteThe traveling stash looks like it would be a hoot to receive and open, and then decide what to add after "shopping." I'm curious-- is the box heavy? and how expensive to mail? I know the cost isn't the thing. It's all about the fun of participating. But my inquiring mind is curious.
Cute block - how could he not love it! No travelling stash for me. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Woodsy block look great Audrey -Im sure it will be adored!
ReplyDelete:( at times like this I wish I lived in the US!
