We were asked to make a bookshelf block with a theme - what fun! I had such trouble deciding but "A Bugs Life" won out because of the fun fussy cut bug jars!
My foray into quilting was a little odd. I started sewing when I was about 7 - I wanted a Barbie sewing machine for Christmas by my grandma and mom said I would learn on their machines. So no pink machine for me but I did learn to sew - not quilt, however. My daughter was in grad school and living with us in 2013 and wanted to go to QuiltCon so we took a roadtrip - there I saw the most amazing quilts - I was hooked! I made lots of blocks and played around with mini's for a few months before I jumped into a quilt. I'd been sewing for 45 years so it wasn't a big leap for me.
I don't blog yet but that is one of my goals for the year. I am active on Flickr and Instagram as Mumziepooh. I am looking forward to this Bee this year!

Debbie, great block! Is that a echino/kokka print with the bee? I had some deer that I was thinking about using, but it was the linen mix, so I wasn't sure.
Love the backyard baby applique :)
Yes - it is echino/kokka - I am crazy about it - I know it's a linen mix but it's small and it will be all quilted with the rest so that will stabilize it for the wash. It will be fine!
