Love to BEEEEE!

Do you belong to a bee?

I sure hope so!

I belong to several and they are such fun!

We share our love of fabric and all things quilty, but also so much more!!  They are my DEAREST friends!  :-)

I have a big bag I made last year that I take to bee when I have a quilt to bind!  It’s quite large with plenty of room to carry most any size quilt.

But I often do not have a quilt to bind at bee, so I needed a much smaller bag to carry my ongoing hand work projects to bee.

So, I made this one last week with some Sewing Box scraps leftover from several previous projects!

It’s the perfect size for my current wool stitchery project and my Sew Together bag with all my thread and such needed for the project!!

So Yogi wants to know all about the bee you are a member of!!  Do tell!!

March Schnibble Done!

Today was bee day at Suzanne’s house!  I finished sewing down the binding and attaching the label on my version of the Schnibble quilt for March just in time! 

The pattern was Bibelot!  And I did not even realize until it was finished that I used the same exact fabric collection as Carrie herself!!

Moda’s Curio by BasicGrey!!  Such lovely calming fabrics!  Wonderful!

I just quilted it with a simple meander with white thread!  My backing was a stash floral that matched perfectly!  I already know who I am giving this quilt to for Christmas!!  One gift done!!

We are sooo coated with pollen here in northern VA that the pollen count has broken records! 

So, with my allergies and asthma, I am much better off in my sewing room than out gardening!!

So, what are you sewing on this wonderful spring weekend???

Sick and Tired…

Yes, that’s me right now!   I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. 

I’ve caught a bug from my dear husband, so you can imagine what the past 10 days have been like here in our home… 

We’ve both been to doctors and been diagnosed with bronchitis and put on antibiotics…which has really not seemed to help us out at all.  Constant fever, wracking croupy cough…hurting chest….upset stomach and diarrhea… super  yucky stuff.

Finally, last night I slept for 6 hours straight, thank you Nyquil!  So, maybe I am on the mend.  That would be good, as I missed three days of work this week…and lots of good sewing time in the evenings.

I was super disappointed that I was so ill on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,that I was unable to finish up my entry into the Moda Sliced Contest.

I was making a Bee Bag from some Stitch in Color charm packs.

It was looking so bright and fun and cute!

I’ve not been back in the sewing room since Sunday….sigh…

Yogi is feeling blue, too.  He must be so sick of all the loud coughing…

and yet, he stays always close by my chair… 

my sweet Little Man!!

Hope you all are well and busy sewing on something super fun!!  Want to share with me so I can enjoy your sewing vicariously?
