Final Finish For The Quarter FAL 3, Q3
Well nearly another month has passed, and I'm only just back here, whoops! Life has been a little busy, there has been a bit of sewing, mostly hand sewing on Hexy 2, but I did manage a finish, and it wasn't even the smallest item on the list, so 9 to complete for the final quarter, can't see that happening but I'm going to give it a whirl :o)
Last year for my favourite bee (it's also my only one now, as I decided to reduce my commitments for when the baby was coming), Stitch Tease, I requested house blocks for a quilt for the girls (eek, still feels weird saying that). After giving a few suggested patterns, I got some fantastic blocks back, and decided to make 2 picnic blankets with them, and this is the first one.
I backed it with a bargain blanket from Primark that I bought a while back, something light weight for dragging around next Summer, as I'm a little late for this year :o)
A big thank you to my fantatic Bee buddies for their blocks, I love them all. The second blanket will hopefully follow shortly, but I seem to be juggling about 20 different things at the moment....

Just gorgeous and your girls will treasure them!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely, and your bee mates have done you proud! And you can always have a picnic indoors, my kids used to love that on a rainy day.
ReplyDeleteCan't think what's been keeping you busy, isn't the life of the SAHM sitting around with your feet up eating bon-bons? ;o)
ReplyDeleteGlad to have been able to contribute!
Indoor picnics sound good! Your blanket is lovely ;0)
ReplyDeletePerfect quilt! I love the eye spy of the windows!
ReplyDeleteI'm also going into Q4 with 9 items on my list. We should make an effort though as it'll be harder to show Kerry up now she's not going to be busy with a wedding. Love the picnic blanket, it is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm really worried now - I can't really remember making these blocks. Did I? I really hope so. I have a vague recollection but am not entirely sure. If I did contribute, I'm happy to have helped as they look great: Hoping I'm in Quilt No.2!
ReplyDeleteLove the finish. The bee blocks are great in making two quilts. And one for each so no fighting, presumably.
