From cutting to finishing touches it took less than 30ContinueContinue reading “Monday Makeup Bag”

Finish It Up Friday

I\’ve been doing some embroidery work lately. I really enjoy how well embroidery projects travel and how quick they are to work on and put away to fill that time throughout the day that would be wasted otherwise. I started a set of owls a couple of months ago and just recently picked them backContinueContinue reading “Finish It Up Friday”

Bee Block Progress

Finished the hand stitching on Sunni\’s block: I wanted to add some hand detail so I stitched around the trunk and tree and then put I ❤ SB for Stash Bee but then when I went to mail it today I realized Sunnis last name also starts with a B! What a coincidence! Meant toContinueContinue reading “Bee Block Progress”

Sunni\’s Tree – Stash Bee

So after trials and tribulations this is what I have come up with for Sunni\’s Block. I think I might add some handstitching but this is the base of it. I wanted to do something a little offset and modern. I really like the way it turned out. I\’m going to head downstairs and addContinueContinue reading “Sunni\’s Tree – Stash Bee”

Frustration.

So two of my bees this month asked of trees. I had an idea so I started on it and then it went a little off plan and then I tried to fix it and then I ended up hating it. A lot of the time when ideas start spinning out of control I changeContinueContinue reading “Frustration.”

W.I.P. Wednesday

So I\’m glad to be back in the swing of things sewing. Things have been sparse for the last couple of weeks so this WIP Wednesday hiatus was probably a good thing. 🙂 This is the beginnings of a quilt I\’m making from thrifted men\’s dress shirts. I\’m still playing around with how big IContinueContinue reading “W.I.P. Wednesday”

I designed the block myself drawing upon the crappy sashing I did in Denise\’s quilt and I\’m really happy with the way they turned out.I still might redo the top right one just because itContinueContinue reading “3×6 Sampler Bee Q4”

3×6 Bee Blocks in Progress!

So today after I had figured out what kind of block I wanted to do for the 3×6 Sampler Quilt Mini Bee I started on the blocks for my Bee Mates. Go Hive #3!!!This was my test block in my colors to see if what I was thinking would transfer into an actual block. IContinueContinue reading “3×6 Bee Blocks in Progress!”

My First Bee Month

So I am in the Bee Sew Joyful Bee and January is my month and instead of giving a pattern, block, fabric, or anything, I decided to just go with the theme of \”owls\”. I\’m letting them to absolutely anything they want, using any medium they want as long as I can sew the edgesContinueContinue reading “My First Bee Month”

My First Class!

So I technically taught my first class this weekend. Yes it was to my roommate and my best friend but I had two participants and I had them both create a simple table runner complete with quilting (one did hand quilting, the other machine after seeing how long it took the other one) and thenContinueContinue reading “My First Class!”
