Bee Blessed Finishes!

We were delighted and privileged to be donated 3 long arm quilted quilts to Bee Blessed, which just needed finished off with binding and labels.

I showed you the first one here.  Now just take a look at these beauties!



Isn't that quilting divine!  This huge quilt is going to a lady in her 40's who is currently undergoing chemo.



You can get a better view of the quilting on this whole cloth quilt from the back.


And you may remember the 'Very Square Like Me' blocks we were making in June. Well here they all are in quilt top form! Can you see your block in there?

And proof that men DO know how to hoover, despite what they may say!

Clearing up after Saturday's Bee Blessed gathering

Thank you gents for being our dependable and reliable Bee Blessed helpers!

Bee Blessed Block for June

Well May is nearly finished, and as I'm away somewhere (!?) this weekend, I thought I'd let you all know what we are planning for Bee Blessed this June.


This block is called 'Very Square Like Me; and has been designed by my super talented friend Sarah.  Hop on over to Sarah's blog to get the instructions on how to make this block.

Thanks everyone for donating Converging Corners last month.  We had a great response and we couldn't make up as many quilts as we do without your generous input.

If you fancy having a go at the June block, here are a few wee things to take into account:

As always, we are asking for 12.5" unfinished blocks, using white where we have used white.  Also, it would be great if you could use a solid colour where we have used solid, but the colourway can be anything you like.

A very special event is happening here on 23rd June.


This exhibition day will also be a fund raiser for 2 charities that are very close to my heart:

Bee Blessed and Oasis Ladies Quilting Group.

We are really hoping for lovely weather so that lots of folks will come out and support our exhibition and buy lots of gifts and treats that we are all in the process of making.

I'll be chatting more about this exciting event in the run up to 23rd!

Have a great Thursday all!
