Bee blocks

I haven't shared my bee blocks in so long! We just finished another round in the Stitch Tease Bee, and we're about to go again. Here are my blocks from the last few months:

My month was September, and I wanted curvy log cabin blocks in blue to make bubbles. Here are four of them them set together. Two are mine and two were from my friend, Cindy. I can't wait to put this top together!

Orange Peels for Kari

Flying Geese for Di

I also joined a new local bee, and we call ourselves the Stripper Stash Sampler Society. Don't get the wrong idea! "Stripper" comes from our love of fabric strips. We get together once a month to hang out, play games, and gamble with our scraps! Now we've added the bee, and we exchange our blocks in person every month. It's a blast. For the first round, we all picked two blocks to make every month. The queen for the following month brings a fat quarter of her focus fabric for each stripper and hands them out at the meeting. Then we have the month to add some coordinating fabric from our stash and make our two blocks for her. It's been fun to see our blocks done up in different fabric combos, and it's always exciting to see what each queen picks for fabric. These are my blocks from our first three months:

For Catherine

For Andria

For Dayna

 

Here are a few of us this month having a grand time and celebrating Andria's birthday. I'm so grateful to have a friendship with all of these fabulous ladies!
