Jennie's first block

Visted Jennie this morning with my completed block.  Really enjoyed making this block for Jennie, even though I was the one that mucked up my first piece of fabric!!!  Jennie put the two blocks together. It was lovely to be able to see one of the quilting bee quilts in person as you got a real feel for the colour tones and how it might look once they are all sewn together.
I hope everybody is perhaps enjoying some warmer weather than us at the moment, middle of June and it is more like winter.  I do wish the sun would come back.  Some would say the perfect time to be getting on with lots of sewing, but I have no idea where today has disappered to!

The hearts come together....

I have finally got round to putting the heart blocks together.  I spend a long time trying to decide what to do and whether to incorporate another colour, but finally decided on keeping it red and white.  I'm quite pleased with the outcome.  I have pieced together all the different reds also for the backing.

Blog discovery - get updates by email

Something others may be interested in  - or maybe know already....
Susan, you know how I asked how could I get emails when  an update is made to the blog. Well I just found one way. Click on comments for a post and down the bottom in green there is a "Subscribe by email" you can click on. Seem to have to do it on every post.
Maybe someone, Vreni?, knows how to set this to happen for anything added anywhere in the whole blog? J.

Block size for June

Hi ladies, just in case you don't check emails regularly I should point out that the cream background fabric is very tight on size. Finished block should be 21 x 17' so cut to 21.5 x 17.5 For the 21.5 I only just managed to get 2 pieces across the fabric width, so you may not need to trim, or may even need to use the selvedge to get the right size. If you can leave them as near to 21" finished that will be great. I can always trim them all down a bit if they don't look right! Sorry for Ny confusion. Jennie

June blocks in the post

Hi everyone, just to confirm I have put all blocks in the post this morning so hopefully should be with you fairly soon, depending of course where you are. Please be as creative as you wish within the instructions for the block. I have started my block today. Feel free to do as little or as much hand sewing as you wish! Jennie

Mason's Quilt

Mason was born 24th September 2011, the first of the baby quilts.  This was from the Nancy Halverson book, Winsom Baby.  Really enjoyed making this quilt and I hope my Godson spends many hours snuggling with it.
