Hi everyone,
Miss November here. Yes, it’s my turn to receive blocks this month for the block swap organised by Kate and Sue.
I had tried to put to the back of my mind, the fact that 33 patchwork blocks would be dropping through my letterbox from all over the world this month. Then a couple of days ago I received these three beauties from Lynn who lives in France. Aren’t they gorgeous?
I was just coming back to Earth again and then these treasures arrived from Kate who lives in Australia. I can tell you I’m feeling incredibly spoiled 🙂
I chose to be sent blocks in bright blues and purples (these blocks all look a bit more purple in real life), and I dropped many hints about the style of blocks and fabrics that I love, just in case the other participants were reading my blog. Lynn and Kate have done a wonderful job of fulfilling the brief. I’ve got all the blocks laid out on the table just so I can give them a little stroke now and again. They can be my fabric eye candy until the next set of three can join them. Whose blocks will be dropping in next I wonder, and where will they be from? I’ll share them here as soon as I get them.
This is so exciting!

/ November 20, 2015WOW! So far the Miss November are perfect for you. They are all lovely. I think your hints have paid off. Looking forward to seeing how they fit together with the rest of the blocks.

/ November 20, 2015I haven’t made my own three blocks yet as I thought it would be best to see what I receive first. However, having seen these blocks, I now have a finished quilt in mind….putting the cart before the horse I think 🙂

/ November 20, 2015It’s always fun reading the comments when a participant’s first blocks arrive; suddenly the whole thing is real and they realise they’re getting almost a whole quilt’s worth of blocks without all the stitching! I hope the surprise packages continue to delight…
Oh Sew Tempting
/ November 20, 2015I thought making and sending blocks was fun. This is even better 😉
katechiconi
/ November 20, 2015That’s definitely the impression I’ve got from the responses of earlier participants! I’m very glad too that I got the colours right for you; hopefully there’s not too much wonkiness either!
Oh Sew Tempting
/ November 20, 2015I didn’t spot any wonkiness at all thankfully LOL.

Oh Sew Tempting
/ November 20, 2015Well two of the other partipants have told me my blocks are on the way so I’ll be looking out for the postie every day 🙂

/ November 20, 2015It does make a lovely change from bills and junk mail doesn’t it? I’m looking forward to seeing what drops through your door next.
Oh Sew Tempting
/ November 20, 2015It certainly does make a change. I’m looking forward to you receiving my blocks just as much. I wish they would turn up. Everyone keeps telling me they will 🙂

Oh Sew Tempting
/ November 21, 2015I know you aren’t a fan of purple but I love it. They’ve done very well 🙂

/ November 21, 2015I have been buying purple fabric this week! Maybe it is all the jacaranda blooms on my street messing with my head.
