I have signed up for two Flick'r swaps
which will keep me busy for the next month or so!
Firstly the Mouthy Stitches hosted by Hadley, Susan and Cindy!
I have to make a zippered pouch and send it with some scraps to my secret
partner by the end of February!
I have used zippers in dresses and skirts before but never in a pouch....
In fact it is probably easier!
It came together pretty well, I'd probably cut the lining a little smaller next
time to make it a better fit!

And I am thinking of maybe adding some embroidery...

The second swap came as a bit of a surprise -
I have been invited to participate in the newly established
and this is what I have planned discarded so far!
The fabrics are not as dull in real life as they appear here!
I'm thinking about foundation piecing?
Or I may do something completely different!

(Thanks Mary, for a great tutorial for this block!)
I'm hoping my partner (or any of my followers) comment so I can get more of
a feel or ideas of where I might go with this!

Love the mini spiderweb idea!
Your purse looks better than my purse!!!!! That looks really good and doesn't look like a first attempt.
I like the spiderweb idea.
I have to get this off my chest- I think it's an Aussie thing but pouches make me think of kangaroos. Okay that being said I really like the one youve made. It's so pretty! I'm excited about your special little quilt swap, I know you'll make something amazing. I really love your Rock Your Socks Off Mary blocks! I'd love to see you do more with those.
hi Suz!!
I've just realized that I'm missing all your posts!

I'm not sure if its just your blog.
Sorry if I've not been commenting, but that is the reason!!
Have a great weekend xx
Hi Susan! I love your Rock Your Socks Block...hee hee!!! Those individual squares and strips must be tiny! I love it! The pouch is sweet and I had to laugh at the kangaroo comment! Have fun with your swaps :)
Love the stars, you exclusive lady you!!
swapmania is spreading throughout the world. Your zip looks good and the quilt...well, I'll just have to watch it progress.
You've got two lucky swap partners. Love the colours in your star blocks.
It is all lovely. I love both your ideas for the swap.
