Blocks for others

Quilters Quest giveaway is here

Before I start this post, I must apologise for the quality of the photos. The light had started to fade as I was taking them and I was unsure as whether or not to use the flash.

Anyway good or bad, here they are!

Today I made some blocks for Judith's charity quilting bee 'Bee Blessed'.

This is the second block for the 'bee' - a disappearing 9 patch block,

and is much larger than the wonky star block.

Next I made some blocks for Karen's 'Kind Stitches Bee'

She is making some non wadded quilts for a children's shelter in Pattaya, Thailand.

I hope these bright fabrics bring a little cheer.

Both these ladies from Northern Ireland, Judith and Karen,

are spreading a little quilty kindness to others through these bees.

They would really love your support by donating some blocks to their bees.

Check out their blogs for more details.

Wonky Stars

The Creative Grids Giveaway can be found here.

Closing date 31st August.

I only got a little sewing done at the weekend,

I'm still trying to get the Dresden blocks finished from Lily's QAL!

(Yes, they have been ongoing since March! Maybe I shouldn't have made 6..)

However I did find a quiet moment to make some Wonky Star blocks for the Bee Blessed project.

Bee Blessed has been set up by Judith who blogs at Rags to Bags and Sarah who blogs at Sew me. "The purpose of this group is to make quilts and other projects that we can gift to needy families/people/groups in our local area."

The guidelines are here and the Flickr group is here, jump in and try a Wonky Star block.
