My block collection!

I am SOO loving how these are going to go together!  I have received 6 blocks since November (though mine was suppose to be in October) and missing 5.  Doesn't this remind you of the ocean?

Happy New Year!!!  I can't wait for my next little block package!!

October's is coming. . .

Ever had one of those DOH! moments, that was me yesterday when I realized I hadn't receive a Bee block this month -then realizing it was because I haven't send mine out!!  So I find sitting hidden under a pile of quilt fabric there are my 11 blocks waiting to be mailed out!!?!  Gimmee Cricket!!

So, I'm sorry for the delay in recieving my blocks this month - there is no hurry to get them back to me, but you should all have them by mid-week.

Thank you!

Toni

Catching up....

I want to apologize to everyone for I have fallen quite behind in my blocks!

Melissa-- I actually have TWO blocks for you, the block I made, and one that was accidentally sent to me instead of you! I had them all packaged up into an envelope, but didn't realize until today while trying to organize all that I need to catch up on (my kitchen table/sewing area is a catastrophe!) that I never took them to the post office! So, a very special apology to you, those will be whipping their way to you.

To Erin, Jadie, and Toni-- I haven't received fabric for your blocks, and it occurred to me that perhaps the email was missed a few months ago updating my address? If it was sent to the Texas address (the ex says I received a few envelopes there) then I am afraid I may possibly never get it (supposedly the stuff was forwarded to me, but that was a month ago and it's not here yet so I am not holding my breath). Please email me, ladies, so I can make it up to you!

Charlene-- I DID get your fabric, so that block will be made and sent out ASAP.

Thankyou all for not writing me off, or casting me out yet. I know I have been the worst swap partner this year :( I definitely bit off more than I can chew out of life this year.

First blocks received!

I checked the mail yesterday after the long weekend, and I had THREE blocks in the mailbox! What a rush of excitement! Here are the three of them together:

I love that Jadie (top right) and Toni (bottom) thought along the same lines with theirs, and Linda's (top left) is so neat next to them in contrast! I can't wait to see the rest of the blocks and see how well they all fit together! Thanks so much everyone :)

It has come to my attention that I may not have sent enough fabric for some of you to make the blocks you wanted to... If that is the case, I do not at all mind sending more fabric! This was my first bee, so I tried to base how much I sent off of how much I had received in other months and how much I used to make my 12" blocks but I guess I was still a bit short! I'm sorry!

For Robin....a tease.....

Hi Robin!  I have your block done and it will be in the mail tomorrow.....I hope you enjoy it, it was challenging!

3 Gorgeous New Blocks

Here is the first of three wonderful blocks I received in the mail yesterday.



This block is from Tiffany, Pink Sweet Treats.  Don't you just love the wonky look in this one?!?!  Thanks, Tiffany!!

This beautiful star block is from Erin, My Patchwork Life.  I love stars and this purple one is perfect.  Thanks, Erin!!

This beautiful block come from Toni, The Quilting Pirate.  She said that the block pattern came from the latest Quilt Makers 100 Blocks Volume 2 and it is #155, Star Flight.  Doesn't it show off the fabric wonderfully?  Thanks, Toni!!









I am  having so much fun checking the mail every day to see if more blocks have arrived.  Each block is so very special.  They are going to make a beautiful scrappy quilt!
