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....

  2. It 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.

  3. Can'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)

    Glad to have been able to contribute!

  6. I'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!

  7. I'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!

  8. Love the finish. The bee blocks are great in making two quilts. And one for each so no fighting, presumably.
