Possum Magic

Hello

First of all I have joined a group called Possum Magic, we are group of eight from Australia and New Zealand.

We are in a Round Robin Improv, whereby each of us,  make a centre block and then itmis mailed onto the next person to add a border, until all eight of us have added a border, should take almost a year!

Here is my block, it has eighty (80) different fabrics, it is a version of Lurline's Place, scrappy dresden block and the centre of my block is made of nineteen fussy cut hexies, I got the idea for the centre from this site www.unitednotions.com/fp_printemps.pdf.

Weekend Overview

First of all I hope all the mummas and grandmas had a lovely Mother's Day.

Over the weekend I commenced sewing the Triangle Quilt into rows. Will post a photo in a few days. These were the triangles before sewing commenced

The Quilt along was hosted by The Sassy Quilter. 

I also sewed together some more 2 inch charms for my Postage Stamp Quilt. Mary of The Curious Quilter runs a charm swap twice a year, in March and October.  Lots of fun receiving packages from all around the world. Will post a photo soon.

A little knitting and tinking were undertaken on a scarf, called The Vacation Scarf, it is part of the Encouragement Angel Swap over on Knitting Paradise.  Let's hope there  will be no more tinking!
