Bee Blessed Relocates

The sun was shining yesterday, but a thriving company of women didn't get to see much of it!


Bee Blessed has relocated to the church where I teach my classes!  And it certainly made a difference!


The vast floor space meant quilts could be easily basted and blocks laid out!

And we even have our own coffee area!


Two quilts are finished and ready to be donated.  One you can see here, which Sarah did an amazing job on. This one is going to a young man with M.E.

The second one is a beautiful Oakshott Cotton quilt made by Marion.  This is being gifted to a man who is ill and in need of some comfort.


There are a few quilts and cushions still being worked, but I will keep you up to date.  Thank you to everyone who has donated Converging Corners Blocks so far. They are really taking shape and it's going to be another fabulous quilt.

The next BB meet up will be on 2nd June.  I won't be able to make that one, because I'll be somewhere in the depths of London, sewing alongside my Brit Bee buddies while waving to the Queen as she floats down the Thames (at least I hope she floats)!

And before you hop on to the next blog in your reader, check out the wonderful zippy pouches my Friday class have made!

Apologies for the over-cropping by Mosaic Maker - I'm still trying to remember to take photos with this in mind!
Have a great weekend!
