My Healing Heart Blocks

These lovely blue healing hearts blocks were given to me over the last few months from my dear lady friends from my Wednesday craft group "Crafty Chicks" after I had a operation last September.

Will be looking at maybe putting the block together over the next few months. Just have to find the right fabric and maybe some ninepatch blocks inbetween each heart.

Just any idea.

I have one present made and ready for Christmas. Will show you all after Christmas.

Getting back into my craft and I have been finding and finishing off some cushions UFO's that I had in my cupboard the last week or so.

I have finished two cushions and the third the logcabin 14" block will be done over the weekend. I hope!!! I would like to find another UFO block ( or Make one) to make a fourth cushion for my lounge
