Bees Knees finish!

You helped me make this quilt!

It turned out so cute, didn't it?

I'm going to give it to my grand daughter Charlotte, for her 7th birthday.

I machine quilted it myself on my Bernina 750 QE.

It wasn't difficult, but it took hours!

Lori Holt's Scrappy Strawberry block from her book "Farm Girl Vintage" is perfect :)

I backed the quilt with a soft pink minky, which Charlotte will love!

Thanks so much friends, for helping me to create this quilt :)

Simple String and my finished Mama Hen quilt

April sent me a whole whack of 2 l/2" strips from her fabric line!

I thought the beautiful floral in the middle would be a great focal point.

Since it's so pretty, I didn't want to cut it too narrow.

I auditioned the rest of the fabrics, you really can't go wrong with such a great selection!

Here is the finished block, sewn with little stitches onto cardstock.

I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished quilt April :)

My bee month was September 2015.

Here is my Mama Hen quilt close up, pinned and ready to machine quilt.

I used Nedra's hen block and put it in my Farm Girl Vintage "Country Fair" quilt because it matched perfectly.

I replaced it with the aqua hen and the orange/pink star.

Sinta was so kind to make two hens for me, I really appreciated that as I was pressed for time!

I made the quilt for my son and his family.

They have a chicken coup in their backyard :)

Jordan and Kimalee and their two adorable little girls, Reagan and Paisley. 

They are expecting another little girl at the end of February :)

Thanks everyone for helping me with my quilt!

Block for Cynthea

The block was super easy to get done with all the cutting Cynthea did for us! What an awesome job she did and I'm excited to see this all come together.

Hope you all have fun making your chickens!

XOXO,
