How tweet it is!

I purchased the 100 blocks magazines when I saw Issue 2

and then

 had to buy Issue 3 after my friend Wendy 

encouraged me to get it... he he,

she made a gorgeous block twice into a mini quilt..see Here

 

I fell in love with this block from Issue 3

by Lynette Anderson.

 called 'How Tweet It Is'.... block No 227 Issue 3

 I made this block into a cushion for a dear friend Judy..

she is my number one fan, 

she encourages me when I am down,

gets my design brain working clearly at times...

 and even tests all my patterns/projects that I need proof read.

Love you Jude!

 Is that enough reasons for a gift... he he... 

Well the story goes like this.

 I was making a mug mat for the said Judy and another 

friend Heather last year when we had a discussion at sewing 

 about Mug-Rugs...LOL... they both said "ooh yak.. what for, why use them"..

I was in the process of making them a mug-rug 

for their birthdays the next month....

so out the window went that idea of making them one

(now they do like them by the way)...

OK maybe this year girls...LOL

After agonising about other handmade gifts, 

 and listening to some hints and loves I made 

Heather a heat pack (see here) and Judy the cushion...

 and I rang Judy yesterday and said "I think I better

bring over the late birthday pressie I made you

or I'll keep it as its so nice and I love it,

  it matches the quilt on my chair, and and, its just nice...

 so off I went for a cuppa, a chat 

and to give a present a wee bit late.. he he

 I think I better make another one for me,

but first I shall finish some

other gifts that are way late too..

 Happy Stitching

Sweet (better late than never) Hugs
