September, October, and November!

I did some catching up on my Bee blocks for you guys!

Shari's block was so fun and just way to easy. 

Just what I needed to work on!!!

Then I got to work on Calli's block with the outdoors theme.

Since I live just outside of Yosemite... I had to represent trees and camping.

I also worked on MY blocks for this month.

I actually got them sent out in the mail today!

Amazing!

I will post tomorrow using the format we are filling in about our blocks.

I did include a copy of the pattern (that was free) from Little Miss Shabby.

I hope you like it! 

I caved in and used my Heather Bailey fabric I have been hoarding.

I think that this one will actually be one I use for myself when it's all done.

(one more little thing... I can't comment on our blog... whenever a blog has the dropbox that
says Google Account... it won't take my comment for some reason... does anybody have that problem?)

Le Finish!

Okay that's a wrap!

I finished my last  blocks for our last round of Bees Knees!

This was so cute... I can't wait to see them all together with the 

yellow centers! 

Thanks for a fun year!

Now, it's on to the first project of THIS year!

Have a great weekend!

I'm All Starry Eyed!

Hello my fellow bee keepers!

September is my month!

After much deliberation and changing my mind a half dozen times,

 I went back to my original

plan. 

I have my project all packaged and ready to put

in the mail.

This is a photo of the quilt block for me!

Starry Eyed

It's a Moda Bake Shop pattern so the link is here.

I am asking you to make the star block. I will make the alternate blocks.

The pattern calls for 10 blocks of each, so I plan on using the block from 

my 11th person in our group for a matching pillow. Since that makes me

the 12th person... I will make 10 alternate blocks.

It works out perfectly!

The block is 16.5" (16" finished) after the checkerboard border is

added to the star. 

Inside your "kit" you will find a 4 1/2" center square and

4 coordinating 5" squares to be cut for the star points.

The checkerboard strips are pre-cut exactly for you.

I am using Christmas fabric... but it's from 

this line of fabric.

You will have just enough fabric to make the block.

I hope you have fun with it.

All the blocks we have been making so far have been super

fun for me to make and last year my block was a bit on the 

challenging side... so I am making it up to you this time!

Promise!

Speakingn of Starry Eyed.

 if you look into the night sky

you might see some interesting 

things this month!
