So my first and only bee is wrapping up. I have to say it worked out perfectly. We’re finishing up 2 months early as we had 2 participants drop out…who just happened to have the months of November and December. Perfect for me since who knows how much time I’ll have to sew with a newborn…who’s arrival is late!
For August. our bee mama asked for a block to make Mona W’s European Stories Quilt. A very easy block to make…I was really hoping to send Corley an appliqued block but nothing came out quite right so I fussy cut a MoMo print. I dove into the scrap basket for the border and love the scrappy outcome.
I was slightly confused about September’s block…Christine requested a Scrappy Depression Block, basically sewing a bunch of half square triangles together any way we wanted. I might have taken it a bit too literally, because my block looks nothing like anyone else’s….
Pam requested a monochromatic, crazy, scrappy block using Aneela Hoey's tutorial. We each picked a different color to send and although my pink scraps/stash far out weigh any other color I chose red to challenge myself. I like how it came out but I don’t think I could make more than 2 of these blocks ever. It’s good to try new things though.
I’m currently on maternity leave from work…baby girl is a little late arriving….5 days past so far! Here’s my 34 week belly at my last Phil’s game of the season!
Here’s hoping she comes soon!!

Hi Tricia - you look great! Mine came 12 days late. 12 days. OMG, I thought I'd be pregnant forever. Here's to the little one's arriving pronto!
wow, you were right that that girl is going to be stubborn and stay inside! Hope she comes soon for you (and that you got your nursery done!). Great job on your bee blocks.
