Weekend Sewing

I spent lots of time sewing this weekend! It was lovely.  I did break for a few hours to de-leaf our yard and enjoy the nice weather.

I started working on my blocks for 4x5 Bee hive mates.  I'm making the Supernova block from Craftsy.  This one is for Becky of My Fabric Obsession.  She asked for navy, aqua and green this round.  I love how this one turned out!

4x5 Bee Block - Hive #6 - For MyFabricObsession


I also decided that it was time to work on finishing my On a Whim out of Amy Butler prints.  I managed to finish getting all the blocks pieced yesterday!  Now they just need to be put into rows.

I also put in some time working on my Sparkling Cider quilt!  This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my husband but I'm a terrible secret keeper and I already spilled the beans - oops!


According to USPS the backing fabric for my leaf quilt is being delivered today!!  I have one 4x5 bee block that I am mid-piece on so as soon as I finish that it's on to basting and quilting!!

Did you do any sewing this weekend?  Did you go to Sewing Summit?

Winner & A Newish Project

First things first - congrats to Lyn on winning the 100 follower giveaway!!  I just sent you an email about it :)


Thank you to all who entered!  It really meant a lot to me that so many of you entered and left such nice comments.  Plus, I learned about a bunch of patterns and fabric lines that are new-to-me!

The "newish" project?  A double wedding ring quilt!!  I started it months ago (I may have made a quick mention of it here on the blog), made a bunch of the arcs and then got sidetracked and it's been sitting neglected.  Then I saw that Jennifer and Rebecca are each working on one as well and are going through it together and they were kind enough to let me join them!

Mine is a scrappy version with everything  for the arcs coming from my scrap bins.  So far I have 60 of them pieced - Only 20 more to go!


I have a print from Terrain and a print from Flora for the corner squares and another Flora print for the background. I'm still not sure what I'm going to use for a background.  I was originally thinking a white with light polka dots but now I'm wondering if that will be too busy....

Are you working on any new projects?!

PS - Linking up at Manic Monday!!
