WIP 02/05/2012
Well it is that time of the week again. I didn’t get a lot
done in the past week, but I did get my bee blocks finished by the 30th.
Two blocks went in the mail on the 30th and the other 2 are going in
today, since I forgot to take them along the other day...lol April was a busy
month with the blog hop, going away and the 5 bees I am in. Most of my April to
do list did not get completed so here is to May being more productive!
Today I am linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced and @The Needle and Thread Network. Make sure you hop on over there and see what everyone else is working on too.

Okay so I am going to start with a couple of finishes off of
the April to do list.
We Bee Learning group one block for Jane-
Whirly giggle. After I got my template to the correct size this was nice and
easy to make. Jane asked for girly fabric and I think this will go along nicely
with the others.
International Stashers block for Meg-
Octagonal Orb for Amy. When I started to sew the triangles together I was
amazed at how well my seams were going together. However, when I put the pairs
together it started to get a lot less perfect. Nonetheless, I am still really
happy with it. It was A LOT of work though. The link to the tutorial can be found
HERE
My May to do list
We Bee Learning group one block for Teresa-

April and I am working on May.
Halloween Wall Hanging- this was a kit

So there you go my rather long and scary list of what I would like to

things that are not coming off the list....lol I noticed too and I am going to
try and get one thing from the WIP without progress section this month!!!
Excellent hexagon variation! I saw the tutorial awhile ago and have been contemplating it... Maybe it is time to start it...
ReplyDeletehahaha! I get tired reading your list!! You sure do have a lot on the go! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...your list is scary! But I am sure that you will get a lot done! A true quilter with a bottomless basket :). I love your octagonal block, the colours are so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, your list looks as long and scary as mine! Fantastic job on that Octagonal Orb block - all that piecing of small pieces makes me nervous -- but you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteThat orb looks like a heck of a lot of work. Good on you for getting it done!
ReplyDeleteLove the bold colours--so nice and cheerful!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Pickles, this is Jennifer from International Stashes...the orb block looks GREAT!!! You need to post it on our blog too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow your list makes me tired! Your orb block is beautiful....I am so excited that it is headed to my home! Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteAmy International Stashes
Great piecing and if you only move ahead by two, well, that is still moving forward.
