Have you noticed I have been good!?
I have been sticking to my plan of finishing UFOs - well almost - the Siblings Together quilts being the exceptions, but that was for charity so I'm sure they don't count as being bad!
I also had a pirate costume to make, which was on my daughter's list since Christmas, though I seem to have missed it off mine - obviously it should have been there!
I am feeling very virtuous! Heehee! You know there is a but..... coming don't you?
So when Lucy wrote about a new bee starting I followed like a lamb and found myself in the midst of chatty girls and lots of fun - aka Scrappy? Sew Bee It!
Well it's all Cindy's fault apparently as the Bee mama May fell in love with Cindy's Stargazing quilt which I contributed two blocks to in January! I am expecting to see this quilt finished at FQ Retreat next weekend - pinch me, I can't believe it! - adorned with Trudi's beautiful FMQ! Now she is a Queen of FMQ and I cannot wait to see someone's work who can do it properly!
Anyway here is a sneaky peek of my third Stargazer block....
And a siggy block to go with...more can be revealed once it lands in May's hands but she just wants to see a glimpse! I may have revealed too much already!? Yes and excuse my writing - eugh - this is the best I can do - honest peeps!
My virtue continues as I have done two converging corners blocks for Bee Blessed as asked by Jude! This is a bee which makes quilts for people in need in Jude's community and prolific they are too!
On a purely selfish point I enjoy the challenge that Jude sets me each month and all the tutorials she creates or points me to! This block makes stunning quilts - go check it out! So if you want to help out and learn at the same time - why not join in!?? There is no obligation to play every time and fabric is always welcome even if you cannot make blocks!
One or two things left to do before next weekend - my swap samples - panic not I hope to finish them today - and if I can fit it in, another Siblings Together quilt!

I was in a very green moment and just hope they fit in! Jude offered to collect them at FQ but I am entrusting them to the Royal Mail as with my record recently I would no doubt leave them behind! But I am looking forward to meeting Jude at FQ too!
And I know a girl called Martha May (my beautiful bag that I won from Jude) that wants to be re-united with her mama! I love this bag!

You and Martha May on the weekend. Perfect!

You definitely have been one busy bee. Love your stargazer and converging corners blocks...you picked really nice fabrics and color combination. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you haven't rewarded yourself with some new fabric?! I was the same as Sarah, I kept waiting for the big bundle of FQs! (I think you deserve it!!) Well done on making the lovely bee and swap blocks now go and polish your halo and get to work on the third Sibs quilt!
