I hope you enjoyed last week’s Share-It Tuesday!. I really enjoyed seeing what you have been working on.

Here’s what I accomplished the past week. Scroll down to share what you’ve been working on too.

Block 7 of Rachel’s Pinwheel Sampler Quilt.

Block 8 for this sampler quilt was our choice. I chose Mosaic 2.

Yippee!! The blocks are all done for the Pinwheel Sampler. I also stitched the top and bottom borders and the sashing cornerstones. Now to it put together… soon! Previous blocks are here and here.

For Bradie’s Summer Star Sampler, here are Blocks 7 and 8.

And Blocks 9 and 10.

Fabric is Arabella by Pat Sloan. See the previous blocks.

That’s it for me. What about you??

Thank you to dear friends that have sent or given me such lovely gifts lately. You are all wonderful and I treasure your gifts every day I see or use them.

Anita from the Netherlands sent me this lovely embroidery. It just arrived in my mail one day totally unexpected. Thanks Anita!

In late May, I finally had the pleasure of meeting Upstate Lisa. She’s from Ottawa but now lives in upper New York. She gave me this lovely travel wallet to take with me to Spring Market in Minneapolis. It was perfect as it held my travel receipts and passport. Thanks Lisa!

My friend Sandie gave me this cute memo holder. The Bird of Paradise was the theme for her daughter’s wedding. Thanks Sandie!

Earlier this week, this lovely needle case for the applique swap arrived from Berit in Norway. She also included a birthday calendar of trolls. It’s super cute. Thanks Berit!

I also met with my Dealer this week, my Aurifil threads dealer that is, Bytowne Threads. Aren’t these colours just fabulous? Can’t wait to start using them.
