Hive 1 for Black and White HST

Rochelle, this quilt is going to look amazing!!  I can't wait to see how all the blocks look together. ~Amanda

Hive 1, May Block for Rochelle


Hi Rochelle,

This block went into the post box last night, so it should be on it's way to you today.

Unfortunately, I did not have enough white on white print, so I had to go with plain black/white.

As it turns out, I am not the best at matching that many points. I do hope you can use this block. It was my second try!  I'm a bit on the late side this month, but I was prevented to start again on the block, by my sewing table (= kitchen table) being occupied by loads of plants for the garden - we had a cold spell and it was freezing over night.
As you might guess from this, apart from working full-time, my husband and me are keeping busy and making the most of having to spend most of our time at home. Our garden was never better organised than this year! :) I generally do get more sewing done nowadays, thank God for that! It keeps me sane and out of trouble...
Work is crazy busy for me at the moment as I am changing jobs in July. Between tying up loose ends and giving handover, there is not a minute to spare. This reminds me that I have to update the shipping address on the Address List, I will just use my home address this time.

I hope you and everyone else is enjoying the sunshine outdoors, when it comes out.

Take care.
Wishing you all the best from Ireland,
Rita.

Finished Quilt from 2018 - Hive 3


This is my fifth year in Stash Bee and love participating! I do get all my tops together quickly, but am slow at getting them quilted and bound. I had this one long arm quilted, and got it back last month. I think this is one of my favorite quilts. It makes me happy to look at it. Thanks for all who helped making blocks for it.  I do have my 2017 one basted and ready to be quilted by me, so hope to share that soon, too.  Gayle in Austin, TX.


Hive 1 Block for Rochelle

Spring is finally here in New Jersey. We are having warmer days, and the flowers are blooming.  Today is my granddaughter's third birthday. The pictures of her smiles makes everything feel good. 
So here is my block for Rochelle. It was a quick block, but keeping those points was a little tedious. In the end it came out pretty good. Enjoy! Rose

Finished circle quilt top hive 3 2019

Hi all. I thought I would share my circle quilt from stashbee 2019 hive 3. It’s just a top right now, I need to figure out a backing. I love all the blocks that I received. They really made the perfect quilt. Thanks to all my hive mates. 




Hive 1 Block for Paulette




Here is my block. April came so quickly and left so  slowly . The days seam to blend into each other. I made this block  early in April with the intent to make another. The second block never was made and this block was lost in the fabric clutter. It was mailed last week. I hope it has reached Paulette or will soon. Thanks for the  reminder Amanda. Hope everyone is well . Happy sewing! Rose

Hive 1 Block for Rochelle

Hi Rochelle,
This is indeed a big, bold block!  As with all the other blocks made this year, I'm looking forward to seeing them put together.  The quilt will be visually stunning.  I hope to drop it in the mail tomorrow.

HST Block for Rochelle Hive 1

Thanks for the HST practice! This was a fun and challenging block. Lots of unpicking the intersections to get the points lined up, but I’m satisfied with the result. I'll put it in the mail tomorrow.  These blocks are going to make a stunning quilt.

Hive 1 May block for Rochelle

I love big bold blocks.  This fits the bill.  It's done, but when it gets in the mail depends on when I have a reason to leave the house.  I try to get all outside contacts done at one fell swoop.
