Cottage Swap

It’s that time of month again, when we receive our cottage in our monthly swap.  This month was my turn to mail out blocks.  Here’s what I came up with:

Everyone’s is a little different with a face in the window.  I had a good time doing these, it helped me get back into my sewing area.

Here are my previous blocks received (Sept, August, July, June, May) :

September’s Cottage Block Has Arrived!

Betsy our hostess of the Cottage Block Swap, sent our September blocks a wee bit early—how exciting is that!  She sent a wonderful little package, filled with 1 block, 1 button, a card and a label for our finish quilts!  She rocks!

Cottages BOM Swap

I totally did not share my newest block from Ms. Cindy!  Again, I’m participating in a monthly swap with the cottage blocks by Bonnie Hunter (Quiltville) and I have October (imagine that!).  We started in May and I have 3 blocks now.

My latest one from Cindy definitely symbolizes July well:
