Sew Sweet Bee and Some Quilting


Happy Hump Day sweet friends.
Can you believe February is almost over?
It has been very cold and dreary here.  But we are not North enough to get all sleet some people are getting.  I would love to have a snow day.


This Sew Sweet Bee block is for Alanna at A Merry Mix she is queen bee this month.  Alanna choose the Flying Dutchman block after an antique quilt she found.  She asked all of us to sign them.   I wanted to embroider my name.  But I could not get past the d and I took it out.  I can not seem to embroider letters and like them.


This is a sweet Texas Aggie quilt I am quilting for Carla over at My Life A Little Of This A Little Of That I love how Carla incorporated denim in her quilt.


This is a baby quilt I am doing for Carla.  I thought swirls would be fun on this quilt.

We are still busy working on my shop room.  Sorry there are still not pictures we are just getting the lights up.  Hopefully this weekend we can start putting shelves up and I will start taking pictures to show you my new Lavender Nest.

Hope y'all are having a great week and staying warm.

Hugs
donna

  1. I bet the embroidered name looks better than you think. We're alway our worse critic.
    Can't wait to get those quilts and see them in person. Love the quilting. Thank you Thank you. I'm curious to
    see what you have up your sleeve for the other quilt. I know it's gonna be great.
    So the shop is it in the house or a separate building?
    I can't wait to see some pictures.

  6. I can't believe it's almost March and we're still having record cold - hoping March goes out like a lamb around here. Your block is GORGEOUS. What stitch were you using to embroider? I prefer backstitch, and if you try it with only one strand of floss it might be easier. Your quilting is STUNNING, Donna!

  7. I love quilts! And as creative as I am.. you would think I might make a few... Haha.. but the truth of the matter is Im an lazy and I think making a quilt takes ambition and determination. some day I hope to find enough of that with in myself to make my own quilt.. but for now.. I just have to enjoy the old beat up ones I have here and all the beautiful ones I see "out here" that you awesome quilt makers make! lol! Have a great day! xoxo

  11. Hope your weather is improving! It's been mostly a miserable winter here. No warm weather in sight either. Your bee block is so pretty! Can't go wrong with flying geese in a pretty palette!
