Funny ones

Ones I had to google

VERY long ones

And just lovely ones

And now you would probabaly like to know who actually won the giveaway, right?

It is number 69! Congratulations Judith!

I will email you separately for your address, Judith.
Commiserations to the rest of you 🙁

And because it upsets me to post without a nice crafty photo, here is a scrappy block I just finished for the Tag Square Bee. This one is for Monfrank, who asked for lots of green with a little red and orange. The block was inspired by Rachel’s scrappy pincushion.

 Back with more crafty stuff soon!
