Caught Up!!!

It feels so good to have these done finally. Note to self, don't join anymore Bee's that have time limits! Yikes!

I was supposed to have all of these done for the Vintage Sheet Freedom Bee before Delilah was born....4 months ago.Yeah, that never happened.

But she is finally taking a few predictable long naps in a day so i was able to pull out all of the sewing stuff again and get to cracking.

These are so fun and easy to do. There is no measuring or precise cutting involved in most of the process. I just take the fabric and scissors and start cutting strips. They each take on a life of their own and each one is a little different.

Some were harder than others for me. Color was sometimes a challenge and the quantity of fabric i was sent was also sometimes a challenge....to make sure i had enough to finish was a lot of pressure. But i guess part of the fun is making those things work.


This block in particular was really hard for me....when i opened the package I thought the fabrics were never going to work together...in the end i think it turned out to be my favorite. The challenge for me on that one was to make the color of the pink fabric stand out, not the actual pattern on the fabric.

Bee Blocks Update

A little while back there was a huge earthquake in New Zealand, near Christchurch where the wonderful Deb from Works in Progress lives. She has a giving heart and wanted to do something for those that lost everything....she started a earthquake quilts project, and asked for a little help.

I was able to make up a few blocks to send to her this week. She specifically requested that they be in blues and reds. I hope that they work out Deb, i enjoyed making them.
The first two were made from a simple tutorial she provided in case we were stuck and could not think of what to make.

These wonky stars were made for Deb from my favorite star tutorial at Silly Boo Dilly blog. They always turn out amazing and i always love them!

These last three blocks are for my vintage sheet freedom bee, also started by Deb. I am plugging my way through them so that i can be done in time to have them back to all the other ladies before i have this baby.

Vintage Bee Blocks

I made up a couple more blocks for the Vintage sheet bee i am in today. Deb sent a lovely package full of sheet goodness. I sat right down to make some of them to help me keep myself awake...pregnant makes me tired!

this one is for Anissa. I love the yellows and pinks.

And this one is for Marissa. i hope that i am getting that right. I mailed them already and can't check. Sorry ladies i hope i have this right. i don't want to mislead anyone. The similarity of names is not helping me figure it out either.
