Having decided to have a go at a swap, am really looking forward to it. Just dawned on me having re read the conditions, I now need to know - what constitutes "winter themed" because other than Christmas snowy stuff and leaves I don't think I have seen anything else?

Hi lindyline,
Well we certainly are in winter, like your appliqued blocks, I don't applique myself. Can see this is going to be a bit of a challenge.

Cheers
Maybe1day :-)

Love those applique blocks. And they are very wintery. Thank you JudyG for that link. That was about what I was thinking for winter :) I was having a hard time explaining. Sorry for that guys.
