W.I.P. Wednesday

I have gotten a good chunk of stuff done this weekend and week so far! I finished my Chain Link top!!! I am trying to decide on how I want to quilt it. I think simple vertical/horizontal lines will do the trick. I want to keep the symmetrical vibe in tact. Of course Marta satContinue reading “W.I.P. Wednesday”

My Weekly Works in Progress

I have made major progress on my Chain Link. I know, I\’ve been working on this one forever! I am determined to finish the top for my guild meeting on Monday and I\’m in the home stretch! I finished all of my blocks and trimmed them. This is a step I used to step butContinue reading “My Weekly Works in Progress”

3×6 Solids Bee Block

So after I got my solid stash in a decent shape I needed to think of a block that I wanted to do. I spent all weekend thinking of what way I wanted to go with it. When I think of solids, I think of modern, when I think of modern, I think geometrical. ThereforeContinue reading “3×6 Solids Bee Block”

I\’ve Got a Solid Bee.

I was lucky enough to be put in the Solids Hive for the 3×6 Bee this quarter! I have been wanting to play with solids for months now and I finally have my chance! There are some very talented ladies in this bunch so I\’m excited to see what we create! First of all, betweenContinue reading “I\’ve Got a Solid Bee.”

Trying New Things

I am in the Beejeebers Bee this year and we were asked to make a wonky tree, a wonky house, or a wonky log cabin block. Since I did a wonky tree for the Stash Bee this month and a wonky log cabin for Sew Bee Joyful in November, I decided to push my limitsContinue reading “Trying New Things”

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 toContinue 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 addContinue 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 changeContinue 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 IContinue reading “W.I.P. Wednesday”

3×6 Sampler Bee Q4

Here are my blocks for the 3×6 Bee! I will be mailing them out in the next couple of days. 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 becauseContinue reading “3×6 Sampler Bee Q4”
