Something is Buzzing in the Bee Hive.

I was trying to finalise my bee block for the month on March for the Modern Irish Bee.   See it is the first time that I have been the Queen Bee and there are many ideas buzzing through my scatty brain over the past month. 

This was my idea but I think there is far too much buseeeeeey - ness going on and my little star is getting lost in the Low Volume background.  

Before I cut into some other background fabric to send my starved colony of bees to work, (I think they are buzzing with impatience for me to get my parcels of honey out to them) Is it going to look too much? or am I better sticking with one coloured background?

 

Queen Erin......buzz, buzz, buzz.

Finally!

I am happy to show you that I am finally back in front of the sewing machine.  

 

As I have a few bee blocks to get finished and to plan my block for March, I really need to get my skates on.

My blocks for Fiona at Patchwork Delights is for the Modern Irish Bee.   You can find the tutorial at Crazy Mom Quilts. 

I loved making these little triangles out of my scraps.   I'm glad now that I keep every little bit of fabric because I was able to use lots of little bits up....so much so that I went a little crazy on the blocks.  They were lots of fun to make and really quick and easy to do.

I haven't forgot Lucy at Charm About You too.  Lucy is always efficient and I know she is probably waiting for her feathers and tapping her fingers at me..."Come on Erin!"....I got most of them done last night but have stalled with one side of the feathers.   I hope to get them finished today.

 

So I better head off and get them finished and make sure they are both in the mail for tomorrow morning.

Happy sewing.
