BE WARNED ....... this turned into a BIG blog .. and end of week update xx SO.. go get a cuppa to get you through to the end xx
I made my Brit Bee blocks ...
I have green in my stash .. but not so much .. it seems ...of the grey/green fabric Jo sent me. SO... a bit of a search commenced for fabric to co-ordinate with it .....not too bad an effort I think ... at least they came out the right size xx
Then I made this little beauty....
she is a request.. it is getting harder to part with them I MUST make one for ME!!! ... sometime x
While I was busy this beauty...
popped through the letterbox x.....
there is one more Brit Bee block to come ... if it doesn't arrive soon I will make another block to finish off the collection. As this was the February block the chances of it arriving are getting fewer.
I know what I want to do with the top....
and have begun to match up the blocks x
This last week I made 2 baby quilts ...
with fleece on the back to make them light .. but snuggly ...
Over the last month or so I have been hand quilting my 2013 Stash Bee Blocks ... I asked for a flower on a plain background... it has become a NINETY x NINTY quilt!!.. getting a picture proved a bit "tricky"! I put it on the bed ..
and you can see it .. sort of! Then I tried it on the wall... some climbing and WORDS were involved..
although SOME were not helping at all...
I was getting pictures ... and feeling good about it ...
when THIS...
happened! Sorry Gus .. but it cheered me up no end!!! lol x
PHEW!! That was quite a catch up... I seem to have done far more than I though xx Off for a cuppa xx

Such a productive time. I love your Brit Bee blocks, such a beautiful colour scheme. You are doing an amazing feat , hand quilting that very large quilt. Glad that Gus knows how to cheer you up.
Love the huge quilt, and the Brit bee blocks - I dont think I realised you were "that" Diane until I saw the green blocks!!!!!
