This year I joined up with a merry gang of birthday fat quarter swappers.... so of course... it being my turn last week I received my squishies in the mail box.....
I had said I would like to build up a collection of blue of white fabrics
~ oooops, there are a few extra's in there when I put my blue's together ~
Thank-you so much birthday swapping ladies - perfect picks
It's very exciting - I now own a 'blue stash'
My daughter made a lovely cake but I needed help with the candle
Dinner was excellent (even if I say so myself!):

I am in a French inspired swap group hosted by Cheryl and she sent this cutest fob this week
There is a lovely Lavender sachet pattern HERE - I might do one of those for the swap?
I did finish this cute Rosalie Quinlan design ornament
for my 1 Christmas Item a Month
It's not too late to join Narelle's challenge - no pressure, make one if you can and showcase it
or pop along HERE for some great ideas
Righto, gotta go.... cheese to make, scones to bake ....

Such a lovely stash of blues and all so different. Looking forward to seeing them in projects.
I'm jealous of all your beautiful blues. Can't wait to see how you use them. Who had more fun blowing out the candle? Great picture. Nola
Such pretty blues!!! Looks like you had a great helper with your candle, sweetie, how adorable. Love your scissors from Cheryl, and your ornament you made!!
being a big blue fan I drooled at your stash, so lovely and fresh. I have been contemplating the French swap but have so much going on dont want to overcommit so quite torn, and adore the Christmas stitchery- love redwork.
It looks as though you had a wonderful birthday.
