Catching Up!

Hello all, sorry I have been a bit slow to post and update things these past few months...between work, school and prepping for baby number two things have been a bit hectic. Does anyone not have a crazy busy life? If so I would love to hear how you do it! At any rate I love getting these packages in the mail each month with a little surprise and something to create purely for fun and hope all of you do as well.

I wanted to share pictures of my January and February blocks...I have to admit I am still working on the blocks from Aynsely (March) which I would venture that several of you are in the same position with that one as well. :) Thank you Terry for sending a quick and easy one for April!

Don't forget (like I have) to post pictures of the blocks you have made for the bee as well as other quilt related projects you have been working on.

April block is on its way!

HOORAY FOR SPRING!

Spring is here!  Are you ready for spring?  I am so ready to see flowers, eat the fruits, and veggies.  I love the colors of spring, the greens, the yellows, the oranges, the pinks, all of them.  Can I just say---I love SPRING!  This month I decided to have all of you help me with a quilt I am making for a granddaughter who will graduate from High School in May!  I know that May is just around the corner and it doesn’t leave much time.  So the pattern I chose “Skipping Squares” is super simple and easy!  In fact,  I have even cut out the blocks, so sewing them is all you need to do!  Just sew them up and ship back to me and I will put it together in a snap!  After last month blocks from Parker which were very challenging you should be able to do these in your sleep!  That’s how easy they are.   You should receive your packets by the end of the week.   If you have questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Just a few points to remember.

·         Please press the seams together as indicated on your instructions.  Not open.

·         Please be extra careful when you press so that the fabric doesn’t become distorted.  Sometimes stream tends to stretch the fabric, it’s okay not to use steam.

·         Please use white or very light colored 100% cotton thread.

I hope you enjoy the blocks for this month.  They shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the Spring weather for very long.

Thanks to all of you for your help!
