Look what was in the antique shop window - swoon along with me Melody Miller fans...
Anyhow, I didn't buy it, but came home with a spring in my step and flicking my hair like I just stepped out of a salon (metaphorically, for goodness sake!) and threw myself into my May blocks for Bee Blessed.
Judith, Sarah and Co. have asked for Converging Corner blocks, based on this tute by Ashley (Film In The Fridge).
Although it probably took me more time to pull the fabric than sew; trying to get pieces that were long enough was not so easy, I got these made in a couple of hours...
Thankfully there was no seam matching to be done, unlike the Retro Flowers, which, if I have to be honest are draining me right now, so these were a doddle and a pleasure to make.
If you want to make some blocks for Bee Blessed, then what are you waiting for? No fabric? Well there's still time to enter the Fluffy Sheep Quilting Giveaways, or you can just go ahead and do some shopping with the discount code, also found here; it's OK, if it's for charity, buying that sort of fabric doesn't count!
Do we get to see the happy haircut?! Lovely bee blocks and I hope the sunshine sticks around!
ReplyDeleteOh you have to share the new do! And love that typewriter, how fab!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely blocks! I really like the colors you used. I've never seen that particular pattern before.
ReplyDeleteI'm suprised you didn't buy the typewriter and come home and play secretaries flicking your hair about ;-) Blocks look lovely and sunny. I am sworn off buying fabric but had to go place an order with Cindy because well it's Cindy lol
ReplyDeleteLet's see the new locks!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that typewriter is just delightful. I can't believe you didn't buy it! A little piece of history for the kids? Adorable.
Yummy bee blocks!
Oooh you're having your FQR "do" done early! I've got mine booked for May 28th, so if by some miracle it looks good, it'll still look good by friday... lol Cant believe you managed to leave that typewriter behind, its fabulous! As are your lovely blocks too of course... :-)
ReplyDeleteThat typewriter! Gasp! Nice bee blocks, I love the little piggy in the middle. I had thought it was just me who found the retro flowers painfully slow/painfully fiddly...
ReplyDeleteCan't believe you didn't get the typewriter!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking blocks! =D
Dear God, I have to book a hair appointment!!
