August block for Mary Ann & forgotten pic July for Karen
This was so fun to make. I left my comfort zone and yet pulled only from stash; how does that happen? Is stuck in a fabric rut a thing? If so, thanks for pulling me out of it!
Made in August for Mary Ann

August block for Mary Ann, Hive 6
Here is my garden block for Mary Ann. I had to re-do my 4 patches because I miscalculated the square size and made them too small the first time. I ended up using the method Mary Ann suggested and it worked great. It was mailed today.

Blocks for Michelle - August
Hello!
This block was a lot of fun to make. I just finished a king sized log cabin quilt, so I was a little "meh" about one more log cabin, but this was a lot of fun! I really like the outcome, and cannot wait to see what the finished quilt looks like after the blocks are finished! These two blocks mailed out Friday 8/18.
Thanks!! Lisa

August HST for Hive 1
This month's block made me realize how low my stash of pink fabrics is! I have a bunch of small scraps, but only 1 large enough to make the required size squares. I hope these work well!

Hive 4 for Katrin...
Here's your finished block Katrin. I'm really mesmerized by your color choices. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Hive 6 - August blocks for Mary Ann
Mary Ann requested the garden star block for a charity project that she has undertaken. Once I got my mind around the unusual size, they went together easily.
Looking forward to seeing your finished quilts Mary Ann!
The blocks went out in today's mail.

Hive 2 block for Monica
A fast, fun, and easy block to make. I think I'm the only one who "scrapped up" my individual block. I wonder how easily it will be spotted in the finished quilt. 😊 I can hardly wait to see it.

As usual this month absolutely FLEW by! Lauren, here is your block. It's going to the post office tomorrow!
P.S. I love paper piecing and I loved making this block for you!
August Hive 2 block for Monica!

I think I might be the missing link this month. Is there a prize for that? :) I've had the pieces cut for quite a while, and finally sat down today to get it together. What a fun block, Monica! I hope these colors work well with your scheme. I'll put mine and Cyndi's blocks in the mail to you tomorrow. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Garden Stars for Mary Ann
Queen Mary Ann asked for a Garden Star block for the quilt she is making for Friendship House in Fayetteville. Mary Ann is planning on making a twin-bed quilt for each bed in Friendship House--24 total!
Here are my blocks for you, Mary Ann. I hope they work for you and I'm excited to be a part of a quilt for a great organization.

Hive 2 block for Monica
Here's your block Monica! It was a brilliant idea to have several bees make the same block to get a good sized quilt. I may have to steal it someday. And I like the idea of the signature blocks too. This was dropped in the mail last weekend so hopefully it should have arrived already.
Have fun with your quilt!

Crashing August Hive 8
Tori,
When I trimmed
the blocks it left a small border on one side. I have some leftover fabric so I will chop off that edge and make a larger seam allowance before mailing. Could you send me your mailing address to srecicar@hotmail.com. Shelly Recicar

August Hive 7
I love this Starry Sky block that Lauren requested. I have seen this done in many ways and it is always stunning. Hope you like my version! I left the paper on so you won't have wonky bias edges.
Enjoy!

Monica's August Blocks
Hello,
I finished my August blocks for Monica. I had not seen this block before so it was the first time making them. Pretty simple to put together and I like the way it looks when you start putting the blocks next to each. I used a novelty fabric for the red. Hope you like them and it works with your quilt.
Thanks,
Cyndi

Hive 1 Block for Sue
Hello, it's Diana from Hive 1. Sue, our queen this month, wanted a fun block that had 2 different sized half square triangles with some white sashing. She asked that we keep the block in 2 pieces to give her more options when assembling her quilt. I think it's going to look amazing.
Hive 4 August block
I ended up making two blocks. I hope I got the colors pretty close...thanks for the guidance using the Kona colors.
Hive 9 August Block for Shelly
Your block is a quick one to make and I'm sure your grandson will have a lot of fun with his new quilt!! I wish I had done better with the points but I may well come back to this pattern.

Hive 7: August 2017
Have I said I love paper piecing!
It's a good thing, since Hive #7 has paper pieced a lot in 2017!
This month Lauren chose this fabulous block!
It was certainly fun to do!
Peace to all,
Hive 7 August block for Lauren
This was such a fun block to make. I loved digging throughly scraps for just the right fabric, even a piece of original Katie Jump Rope. I hope you like this. It was a great tutorial.
This went out in today's mail.

August Block for Monica, Hive 2
I must admit this is my favourite block on Stash Bee this year, I love this block, in fact it is on my bucket list, wonderful. Thank you so much for introducing me to it Monica.
It was a lovely block to make too, I hope you like the fabrics and it fits in well with the others. Sorry about the pic, I had it ready to go in the mail when I realised I had forgot to take the pic. I cropped it and your block does have points, honest.
With smiles from,

Thanks for your patience!
I am all caught up now!
Hey All! I took a trip in July which turned out to be much longer than anticipated. I did not bring my fabrics or machine with me so I was very far behind on my July Block.
Here is the block I have created for Julie.
I used the Wonky 9 Patch Star on the Nido Quilters blog, from their Block of the Month 2014.
I hope you like it Julie.
Mailing blocks later today. I will email you the tracking numbes after I leave the post office.

Mary Ann's August Block
Queen Bee Mary Ann asked for the garden Star block.
I hope this block is what you were looking for Mary Ann. I had a little trouble trying to figure out the best way to do this block since it was an odd size for me. It looks like such an easy block.
It's done and in the mail.

Returned home from a business trip today and made a beeline for the sewing room to work on Monica's block. Tried out a could of different fabric combinations before settling on this one. Hope you like it.
I'll try to get it in the mail tomorrow!
