SATURDAY SNAPSHOTS


The last little while has been spent sewing blocks for the swaps I am in. This month it's my turn to receive blocks from the Mid Century Modern girls. I'm soooo excited about this quilt but more on that as the blocks start arriving    : )

Debra is part of the Scrappy Sew bee it group. This little ship is sailing to Australia




Lisa designed her own foundation pieced butterfly and sent us the pattern. This is a Canadian Solids group I am in.


Nicky is also part of the Scrappy Sew Bee it group and these are on their way to the UK



Just one more block and I am done for April.  I also have been busy making hexagons for my Hexi-bet quilt 








Have a fabulous week-end!

  2. Nice bee blocks and nice hexies. I won't even think of starting the alphabet until I'm done with the hexathons. Yours are enticing though.

  10. The bee blocks you've made are great. Love the fresh colors and designs. I hope you'll allow me a wee bit of extra time to get your April Mid-Century Bee blocks made. It's just a matter of feeling well enough to sit at a sewing machine, which I cannot do while I'm wearing the catheter in my chest. Thanks for your understanding.

  20. The hexabet letters are so cool- do they come from a pattern or are you designing them? Your blocks are all lovely, I really like the things you make.
