Hive 3 April - Chevron block for Beth

Here are the blocks I whipped up for Beth... I'll get them in the mail by the weekend. Looks like I need to hit them one more time with the iron -- I've had them made for over a week and they've gotten squished & wrinkled a bit under a different project.

Windows...........

Here are my gothic window blocks for CeLynn.....

There was a practice attempt which was abismal, and I nearly gave up!! But I am so glad I persevered as I enjoyed learning this technique and I think in the end my blocks look OK.

Despite this being a stash bee, I never seem to have the required colours in my stash!! So big thanks to Sarah who sent me the black and yellow spotty material - that's my favourite out of the two blocks.

These will go in the post tomorrow

Gothic Window Block For CeLynn

This was a really fun block to make and I love the dimension the faux-Cathedral windows add. I didn't have enough black and yellow fabric to make more than one, so I hope one is ok. I mailed it this morning.

Block for Stephanie - Hive 2

Stephanie I was stumped for a little while and then found Shabby Fabrics. They have a block of the month with free downloads for Country Cottages. I choose the April block, they did hand applique and I did mine on the machine with a blanket stitch. I also added some buttons, lace and made the flowers a little smaller and this is what I came up with.

I hope you enjoy it, and can't wait to see all the blocks.

I will be mailing my block and the signature block tomorrow.

Hive 2 Block for Stephanie

Stephanie I decided to do my house using my embroidery machine. I used applique designs with a blanket stitch around them. Then added the clouds, sun and tree. I hope you enjoy, it was a lot of fun doing it.
