Pincushion Swap and a Few Blocks

I sent out my pincushion to my partner yesterday, and mine came in the mail as well! I love it, and it's so nice! It's a felted wool flower in the cutest little garden pot. I think it's a neat coincidence that I just started needle felting, and then I received this beauty! Thanks to my partner Linda, she has a great blog that I have added to my list. I forgot to take a picture of the pncushion I made, oh well. I sealed the package and then said, oops!

These are my blocks from the class last night. I don't love the green on the darker blue, I'm going to switch it out to orange or red I think. Not enough contrast for my liking... The class was fun though, and I haven't sewn with my friend Chris in a long time, and she's just a fun person to be with. Thanks to Barbara for all of her tips on the technique! I can't wait to get more blocks sewn, so that next time I can do the topstiching. That is what makes the blocks look like they are curved, and gives it lots of movement. I am on vacation next week, so I might not be posting... I'll see how the connection is, etc. I'm looking forward to some relaxation and fun!!!! ;-)
