I go To The Sea To Breathe

My quilters mental block is over, I have the idea for my Hot Air Swap. And I have the fabric...I am so happy, I was afraid I would never be able to do one again.

Hi Deb,
Somehow I missed this thread:(
I loved doing the SBS, you did an AWESOME job hosting it:)

Wish I had the time to jump on the wagon (or balloon)
maybe next time.
I will be checking back to see all the pictures.

There are so many swaps going on that it is hard NOT to join every one! Hosting can be a challenge, I am torn between suggesting another one for fall and just taking a break...

Deb, I'm sorry I can't post a picture. I didn't take pictures before I sent them. Guess I should start doing that.

I'm so glad you are back to being excited about this swap. I had the same problem in the beginning and nearly dropped out. I'm glad the other members talked me through it and gave me ideas and patterns. Thank you to everyone for all your help. I'm excited to see your creations. :-)

Six down, six to go!

This is a block I drafted. I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks, but it's kind of fiddly to sew and get to look right and be the right side, thus it's going slower than usual. And important things keep coming up to get in the way of my sewing, like going to the pool with my kids...and camping trips. Summer is busy!

I bought half a yard of the sky fabric, before I knew what block I wanted to do. I made some cutting mistakes, and wow, that 1/2 yard didn't go very far! So i bought some other fabric for the rest of them. Hopefully I won't have to go fabric shopping for these blocks yet again. All of the fabrics of the balloons themselves are from my scrap basket.
