And she’s off!

My baby girl had her first day of preschool yesterday. I have never seen a child more excited to grow up!

On the way to drop her off she said ‘You’re gonna drop me off right? And not stay? I can stay by myself, cause I’m a big girl?’.

Yes, baby. You’re a big girl now!

I’m slowly getting into a groove and realizing just how much can be accomplished with a quiet house.

I finished up a few more bee blocks today. July is done and it feels much better to be caught up.

Mary requested a block pattern from the book Block Party:

and Sabah requested a Log Cabin block:

I also got a surprise in my mailbox. A misplaced package I’ve been waiting on from Moda arrived. The circle quilt tutorial will finally be on it’s way, hooray! I know it’s been a long wait.

Hope your week is off to a great start,

Lindsey

June Bee Blocks, a new quilt forming and lazy summer days

Goodness, time has passed since my last post!

I am for sure caught up in the laziness of summer. It’s definitely a nice time to enjoy a slower pace.

Regardless of my lack of writing, there is still sewing going on. Relaxation for me can’t happen without some stitching!

Here’s a recap of the bee blocks I’ve made for June:

Threadheads Bee. – Chelsea asked us for a Starburst Block using the tutorial from Film in the Fridge.

{Modern 12} Bee – Crystal asked for a Snail Trail block

and for the Simply Strings Bee. – Kelly asked for us to take the gray block she sent and create string pieced circles to applique on top. We could do one or more and place them at random. Can’t wait to see how these all look together!

I was on a block roll, so I decided to try my hand at a block I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. This is pattern from a book I have that is filled with older traditonal blocks. It’s called the Wheel of Fortune or the Road to Fortune. I LOVE this so much and can’t wait to have a finished quilt.
