Bee news

I am Miss November for Hipbees. I chose November as it is my birthday month and I thought it would be fantastic to have a bunch of lovely, talented ladies make me a block for my birthday.

I had so many ideas for blocks, so decided to start trying out some ideas

I love this block, but it was fiddly and time consuming and I don't know if I want a whole quilt of it.  I will be turning this block in to a cushion cover for a friend who has a birthday shortly, so it won't be wasted, although I will be sad to see it go

In other bee news, a couple of weeks back I had an email from Sheila, asking me if I would be interested in joining a Bee.  If Sheila was in, then so was I!  So I now belong to:

                                                      

I think it is such a fabulous bee name, I really did chuckle when I saw that.   

The idea is that we make blocks out of our scraps, based on what the queen bee requests that month

Look at all the other fabulous people I am with (some fellow Hipbees too)

 We are kicking off with a scrappy pincushion swap, before we start for real in January. I can't wait!
