~Fat 1/4 Birthday Club Gifts~

Phew, I finally been able to get around to blogging my received Fat 1/4's in the Fat Quarter Birthday Swap hosted by the lovely Chez

It's easy to play......once having joined up just specify what brand of fabric you would like to receive on your Birthday

Also one person is allocated another to make a special gift for!!!

This year I specified 'French General' fabric or Cream Tone-on-Tone

Here they all are after having come in

My Special Gift was from Chookyblue

This lovely Table Mat made from the French General range

How lovely is this!!!
