But I think the most important thing to remember is to enjoy and second, come to grips with the idea of having to wait 6 yes SIX whole months before we get to open our first gift... ooohhhh... can we do it?... yes we can!... we are crafters! and we shall take the royal oath ...

My April block from Melody (my partner in Quilting Block Swaps Australia) arrived and once again the block and fabric choice was just PeRfEcT!
I might just have to get them all out and photograph them... it should be sensational !
Melody also added a few little goodies for me too! Isn't she NiCe !
~~~*~~*~~~
I finished off my kitchen towels and have wrapped them up ready to send off to my partner tomorrow.The Lets Exchange swap needs to be mailed off no later than May 15th... so I'm ahead of schedule... yehhhh!
I hope my partner can use them in her kitchen and likes the recipe I enclosed too.
I actually did 2 different towels with different toppers....
just to add variety...
The plainer red fabric has "fruits" printed on it... matching the towel perfectly.

My blogger friend Joyce sent me over 2 lovely Blankets of Love. Joyce's quilting is wonderful and even though she wasn't happy with them I thought they were just perfect. If you want to find out more about BLaNkEtS of LoVe just go here and read about this wonderful project. Then drop by "Young by design" and say hello to Joyce....she does envelope drawings... sound interesting?.. it is... she is a talented lovely lady!
