Black quilt

Quilt Blocks

So remember the Quilting Bees I signed up for this time last year. I was so excited and it was so fun to learn how to do different blocks and help people make their quilts.

Well then I got pregnant and got really sick. I'm sure you remember me whining! :)

Anyway well my mom was here, we whipped out my sewing machine and got some blocks done! I'm soooooo far behind it's not even funny.

My mom asked what was stressing me out the most. I said that I haven't sent out a block in over 6 months. So that's what we did. We got 4 done while she was here and I have done 4 more since she's left. Just having the machine out and all the stuff together has really got my quilt gears going again!! I might actually get some of those quilts over there done this year!!

Well anyway, here are the blocks we made. I forgot how much I loved sewing.

(Blogger is being dumb and won't let me move my pictures so they are on top.)

More BLOCKS!!!

Aren't they just awesome!!??! I can't wait to start putting them all together!

We are still in Seattle. The well pump went out at Chris' parents house so we have been helping with that.

Bee and I along with Jane and Nicci went to Seattle on Monday. We got to Pike's Place and it was seriously crowded!! Come to find out, it was 100th birthday and they were handing out free cake! Nothing like free food to make people gather! We also took Chris' cousins down there. Aubrie and Tory with their kids. They are soooo fun and we will be playing with them soon. They have a Connor and an Emma, which is our favorite girl name. Coolness!

Mom, Mike and Kassy come home on Saturday night. It will be fun to hear their Dune stories! I wonder if Alex killed a jellyfish for me.

Welp I'm off to help with the living room!

What are you guys up to these days?

My first block done

So remember when I sent out all that fabric. ($72 worth of postage!)

This is the first block that has a picture posted!!!

It's done by Highway cottage. I don't know how she feels about visitors so I'll link once I find out!

Isn't it AWESOME!!

Can't you just see if with black sashing around it and sitting next to all of it's brothers and sisters!!!!???!!!

OH I didn't think I was going to get this excited but I totally am!!!

Bee Inspired and Live Piecefully

These are the fabrics for Bee Inspired and Live Piecefully virtual bees.

I sent out one black and one other color. They can make whatever kind of block they would like.

I'm going to be getting back 30 blocks which should make a king size quilt.

I asked to have the month of August for both bees because we are moving and I didn't want to have to worry about making a block while in Seattle for the month.

I also sent one to my grandma Carlson, red. And my mom made a yellow one when she was here.

This quilt is going to be AWESOME!!

When I get the blocks back, I'm going to write their name on it so I can know who did it!

Kat's quilt blocks

I wasn't a fan of the fabric when I got it. But it kinda grew on me. Our rules for this month were make a block that is inspired from the fabric. I thought this bird needed to be front and center.
And then the big flower!

So anyway that's what I've been up to.

What are you doing?
