I had been curious about Bees for about six months. I was not sure how they worked or how you found them or if they just found you. I mentioned to Amy that I was interested and being the CAN DO gal that she is, she told me about one the very next day.
I was accepted to join the Bee a {modern} Swapper group of hives! The first thing was the pincushion swap {super fun} and now it is actual blocks! I got caught up in the courthouse steps quilt and then painting and the blocks are due to be mailed before Sat!!!! Eeeek!!!! I really did not intend to wait so long to start but I did finish in time :o)
My Queen Bee asked for trees and I found this tutorial on Cluck Cluck Sew. It has been bookmarked forever as one of those I must try someday projects. It was fun to go through the scraps and play with the size of the leaves and the colors. I decided on the light blue background. It is from Harmony Arts and is my favorite go to fabric, this color goes with everything!
I used wonder under and then zig zagged the leaves down and on the trunks I used a blanket stitch. I hope my Queen likes them!!!! Katy is in love with them so it looks like I will be making some more in the near future :o)
I finished off the day by laying in the hammock just looking up...
