Bee Weekends, Covered in Love, and bye-bye Stash Bee 2015

Y'all Thanksgiving is comin' up fast, and for that matter, so is Christmas!  You can really tell when folks are finishing quilts and working on Christmas gifts.  Unfortunately, the Christmas gift I was working on is for my mom, so I'm not posting it here until after Christmas!

Thimblelinas Bee

Karen's Bargello quilt

This was a kit, and Karen has worked on it most of the year and finally finished the top!

This is Maria's civil war quilt using scrap from Barb's quilt, which won a ribbon in the West Houston Quilter's Guild 2015 show.  Maria wanted it bright, and boy, is it!  I love the bright civil war fabrics!

Jeannie finished her Strip-n-Flip quilt by quilting each row with a different stitch!

This will be donated at Guilt meeting on Wednesday to our Comfort Quilters, who provide quilts for nursing homes and Project Linus.

Karen's Sunburnt Zebra quilt was quilted by bee member Lillie.  Love those flames!  This is another donation quilt.

Jennifer is piecing a fun sawtooth star variation quilt with CATS!  The low volume fabric here is SO cute with cat outlines.  I wish I had gotten a close-up pic!  

Yayas Bee

I continue to stay terrible at taking pics at Yayas.  I'm not sure why I'm on top of it at one bee and not the other.  There are similar projects and four of us are in both bees (hey, we really like each other!)  Anyway, the only thing I took pics of was Lillie's piecing for the store (Quilt 'n Sew) sample for the NEW 2016 Block of the Month from Red Crinoline Quilts.

Block 32 of Latimer Farms

This one has a lot less of the triangle paper than the previous RCQ BOM that Lillie pieced: Hampton Ridge.  You just really have to like sashing your blocks!

Covered in Love

I can finally show you some of my work!  These are the blocks that Kat now has hanging on her design wall:

Falling Leaves blocks

So, I may have used some questionable fabrics for the backgrounds, but hey, I'm keeping it interesting and different!  A little Route 66, a little Curious Nature.  This is a GREAT scrap block!  Thanks again, Kat!

And if you're interested in contributing blocks for Covered in Love, go check out Kat's blog:

Stash Bee Hive 6

This month I sent off my last block for Stash Bee Hive 6:

I got a great quilt out of this, but it was a lot of shipping cost, so I'm taking a break next year.  Plus, I really enjoy not only the blocks, but also the reason for Covered in Love.  So, that's where I'll  focus my efforts.
