Been a while...

It has been a while since I blogged and I'm sorry - I have sort of sold myself to IG (nickyeglinton) which is quicker to post on but I had intended doing better than this on my blog!

Well I have been busy stitching - did you expect anything else?  And I have sort of got carried away by a few new projects...nothing new there!

The most delicious of which is my #nordikquilt!  I set a challenge to my Stingy Bees for August: to make Scandinavian inspired blocks in red and cream with touches of aqua and teal; and they have not disappointed, indeed they have blown me away with their talent and generosity!

Maybe the photos should speak for themselves!

From Sheila


who also sent two extra snowflakes she had cut with her Go! and I backed in some of my fabric!



From Janet




From Di 



And just today this gorgeous block arrived from Helen



But to appreciate the work involved in this one you do need a sense of scale....



And with a few of my own blocks this is how it looks at the moment

  2. This is an AMAZING collection of blocks. Fabulous efforts by all your bee buddies and great inspiration from your own stitching too. I love watching the progress of this one on IG and will continue to sigh every time you add a new pic.
