Hive 3

My first blog post!  I expected to easily whip out a couple of these blocks, but that's not how it went.  I had trouble getting them to measure 6 1/4", and I finally did.  The top left is my correct block, and the top right is 6.25", but I cheated on that one, and used wider strips, so the seams aren't gonna line up right.  The other blocks, on the lower right, are smaller--I'm mailing them too, and you can do whatever you want with them, Debbie.  Lastly is my signature block--feel free to trim it to size if you want.  In spite of this being more work than I'd expected, it was a good experience.  Part of the fun of being in a bee is learning new stuff and trying things outside my realm.  I don't applique, but this was a good, simple shape for me, and it went well!  :)  I will mail them out tomorrow.

My March Hive 2 block

Once again, I had photo issues.  The background really is Azure solid.  I enjoyed making this block.  I may have to make a tree quilt for myself one of these days.  I will get this on in the mail next week, as well.

My Hive 1 finished block

Sorry about the somewhat fuzzy photo.  I have had trouble with this block from the beginning.  I have done quite a bit of foundation piecing, so this should have been to problem, but this one really got me.  I hope it is to your satisfaction, Cindy.  I will get it in the mail next week.

I think I did it!

When Sunni put up her tree block, I thought, 'not fair, I want to do one' . So you would think, when our Hive Mamma for this month asked for one, I would go 'Yippee, I know what I am doing!' No, not quite. I had all sorts of ideas, some wildly over ambitious, but nothing quite hitting my spot. And then, last night, I was talking to a friend, who is not a sewer at all, and then it came, so, I hope you like it, Tara!

I am sorry about the quality of the image, but I have left our camera at work, so am using the video camera instead!

Hive #2 March Block

It took a long time but the block is done and I just can hope the bee queen likes it ...

As soon as the signature block is finished I will sent it.

Star Block for Cindy Hive 1

I loved trying out this great block, I hope it sits well in the quilt Cindy. I used fabric I won in the Fugly Fabric Party from Kelli at Small Town Stitcher. I love the thought that fabric I won from the US came to the UK to be made into a block to go back to the US to be part of a QOV!

Im also wondering if any of the ladies who have the up-coming months have decided what solid they want to use? I've run out of Kona White but dont want to place an order until I know what I am going to need. I'd be really grateful if April/May/June could let me know.

Hive #1 - Cindy's block

I've been wanting to make this block!  When I saw Cindy was requesting it as her March block for Hive #1 and using them to make a quilt for Quilts of Valor,  I knew I needed to make one for her (even though I'm in another Hive). Blessings as you stitch them all together to make the quilt top Cindy! 

Take care,

Nancy D.

March Block for Deb

This was a great block to make, and literally had enough in my stash to make one. Too bad I didn't have more fabirc, would have made you more... In the mail this week!  ~Adrienne

Hive #1 Block For Cindy

Here is Cindy's block.  I really like how it turned out and I do hope she will like it also. :D

Hive #3 - March Block for Deb

I made two blocks this afternoon for Deb.  I still have to make the signature block and get it mailed off... should be sometime before the end of this week.  Hope you like them, Deb!
