February Blocks for Hive 1

Sorry I'm posting last-minute.  I'm learning a new photo editing software, so its taken me longer than I wanted to get decent pics.

Rose, I enjoyed this block and they were sent off this afternoon.  You should get them by the end of the week.  Enjoy!

Tu-Na Quilts: Katie's Block for Hive 4

It's with great pleasure that I present my block for Katie in Hive 4.

Katie asked for the Every Which Way Pinwheel block. You can find her tutorial and a link to the pattern here. It is in the envelope and will be mailed later today.

What I Learned Today:

1. February is a very short month!
2. Be careful when pressing blocks. Bias edges will stretch. Press not iron.
3. I do not have many blues in my stash. I should remedy that!
4. I do like the "test" button when inserting the links here on Blogger. My blog platform doesn't have that option.

Question: What color are you short of in your stash? Here in my AZ house, I have a smaller stash that only has 2 blues. My ND house is a whole other story. Tu-Na Helper (my husband) says I have enough there to start a fabric store. He's so funny.

If you've enjoyed what you've read, you're welcome to stop by my blog Tu-Na Quilts, Travels, and Eats for a look around. I have several options on my sidebar to follow me so you won't miss a post.

Thanks for stopping by and do come again.

Hive 1 - February for Rose

Fingers crossed this block makes it to it's destination as it's been a battle to get here.

1st:  I sat down to sew and we had a power cut
2nd: The following week it then too dark to take a photo
3rd:  My work laptop refused to log onto blogger so I had to wait until I was home

So fingers crossed that's the "3" things....

Rose hope you like!

Hive Crash for Darrel

Want to almost guarantee that I will crash your hive?  Request novelty fabrics in your blocks!  I'm a sucker for novelty fabrics.  The block Darrel asked for was a bit of a challenge because each block needed 4 5" squares of the same fabric, but I was able to find a few sets in fabrics that are teenage-boy friendly.

I hope you these fit with what you have in mind, Darrel!

February block, Hive 1, in transit. . . . .after a bit of a rest!

This block has been completed for at least 2 weeks, but due to work and other "issues" I have not been able to get to the post office when they were open.

It is now on it's way to another "Jersey Girl" and will hopefully arrive before the weekend.

This was a fun and easy block and I look forward to seeing the completed top.  I am sure that it will be lovely.

Hive 2 block for Tracy

This is my block for Queen Tracy. The antenna is made out of bias tape because I don't embroider :-)

February - Hive 7

This month was the Disappearing 9 Patch.  The block is simple.  It goes together very quickly.  Whipped up the first block the first day of the tutorial.  One of my goals this year is to make at least two blocks for everyone.  The second block took longer as I really had to dig through the stack for "male" fabrics.

They look a bit wonky in the photo but they're really not!

Hive 4

Here is my block!  It's been done for at least a week, but I procrastinated on taking the picture because my phone died.  (And of course there were zero other ways to take a picture of the block in the house. :p)

Sorry for the shadowy picture - by the time I got out the Ipad to take the picture it was a dreary day.  But it's done!  I really like the colors and can't wait to see the final product.

One flying geese pinwheel block - all finished and in the mail in the morning!

Sorry, I only had window light on a dreary day, so it's not the best picture.

Hive 4 March Block for Katie

The first thing I thought when I saw the tutorial was... I've seen this block before ...because I had.  I just made this block at the end of last years Stash Bee with the same colors so it was total deja vu for me.

It will be interesting to see how this quilt comes out....Block is in the mail to you this week :)
