Two More Beauties

This beautiful block was made by Wendy.  It is called Borrow and Lend from http://www.quilterscache.com/.  Doesn't this block highlight each of the fabrics wonderfully?  Thank you, Wendy!


This amazing block was made by Robyn.  She said that it measured 1/8" short on each side.  When I meaured it, it came out to 12 1/2" perfectly.  I really like the design of this block!  Thank you, Robyn

*************************************

This reminds me..... Please remember to include the name of your block when you mail your block to your partner this month.  And if you designed it yourself, please let us that, too.   I forgot to include that in the monthly assignment letter.

Sneak Peak!

So my Mom, Jadie, doesn't have a blog, so I am posting a sneak peak of her block for Linda. We had fun racking our brains on what to do with it (I know its supposed to be her making it, but we do a lot of things together!) She (and I) hope you like it Linda! (ps she mailed it out today, so you should be getting it soon!)

A Finish

I was so nervous to start this block. I've been doing a 'live' bee all of last year with a group of friends, but for some reason this was WAY more nerve wracking! I was excited to find a block pattern that was new and looked good. As I was piecing it together, I was even more excited that the points were coming together fairly nicely (although, not perfect in every instance).

Here's a sneak peek for Linda, your block will go in the mail tomorrow. I will be dedicating a post on my own blog in the next day or two if you're interested in reading about my experience.

Melissa's Square for Linda

OK, guys! This is my first bee and I have to tell you, it took all I had to cut into that fabric! How nerve wracking! But here it is ready for Mr. Postman!
One down and my feet are wet now!

My First LBT Block!

Hello all! Jorie here, from Beautiful Chaos. I finished Linda's block today! There were a few hiccups (let's just say I calculated all my measurements right, and then cut them wrong), but I resolved them all. While the finished block isn't exactly how I planned, I still think it's great. Linda, I hope you love it too!

Here is a little sneak peek:

I hope to have it in the mail by Friday at the latest! It is SLIGHTLY larger than 12.5", but I don't have a square ruler or a cutting mat large enough to hold it all (my mat is only 12x18--so I would have to move the block and reposition it-- and I am in the process of moving, so I'm holding off on buying a larger one just yet), so I am sending it without squaring/trimming it up. I hope you don't mind, but I am worried I will mess it up if I try!

Group B January Block

I was surprised to receive Linda's fabrics on Tuesday, but sat right down and whipped up a scrappy block just for her!  Used all the fabrics and had to add a little more white on white, but happy with the results.  I'm going to tease her with a sampling of the block....


Will be in the mail on Monday!

Happy New Year everyone!!
