Name Game Swap
Here is the mini quilt that I received from Ullhärvan you can visit her blog here http://ullhrvan.blogspot.se/2012/03/name-game-swap_26.html
I just adore this mini quilt. I love all the time and effort that goes into receiving a gift like this. Thanks so much Ullhärvan and sorry it took so long to blog about it, I've been in a blog funk.

Swooning
I really taken a liking to the Swoon block. I sure most of you would have seen a lot of them floating about in blog land. I had been admiring the blocks for a while and couldn't resist any longer. Here are my first five blocks and what I love about these blocks is how large they are, only 9 blocks makes a 80x80" quilt.

Shopping, Shopping and more Shopping
I'm not generally a big shopper but I do have binges every now and then, I thought I would share with you some of my after Christmas Shopping Bargains!
First off are some Cookie Cutters Originally $6.99 reduced to $3.50 reduced again to $1 each wow I am ready for a cookie cutter swap anyone ? lol
Then I got these 9 fat flats for .70c each (marked down from $3.99)
Next up is this cute little Christmas fat quarter pack $27.99 down to $9.70, isn't that bird just the cutest.
I couldn't resist these 12 days of christmas vintage style fabrics, all 1/2 metre cuts $2.80 each
and just for good measure I got these just before Christmas and really wish I hadn't because I only 30% off the full price lol
All together I have over 20 metres of fabric, enough to make a project or two. My shopping spree is now over and because I have to do some serious saving.
I need to do some serious saving because I have decided to go to the AQC next year in Melbourne and I was hoping to get any tips and advise from anyone that has been before where to stay etc... I will be travelling by myself so any help will be gratefully accepted.
Talk to you all again next year.

These ornaments look so cool on my tree.
Some yummy fabric
Some inspirational tools.
Some delicious drinks and eats.
A very cute musical box with a Christmas Mug as well.
