January Bee Blocks go in the Mail!

Happy Sunday afternoon! Most of the weekend has been filled with sewing Bee Blocks and Swap Blocks for the month of January. The completed blocks will go out in tomorrow's mail! The first two pictured blocks are for Mary from the Block Party Bee on flickr. The Block Party Bee is alot of fun. We are using the book "Block Party, The Modern Quilting Bee" each month. Mary chose a String X Block and each Bee member is making two blocks for her. Mary picked really cool fabrics to have her blocks made!

The next two blocks are for Melissa from the Mod Mosaic Bee. This is the first month for the Mod Mosaic Bee. Mosaic Blocks are made from Elizabeth Hartman's Mosaic Pillow Tutorial. Melissa requested monochromatic Mosaic Blocks. She is receiving two blue blocks from me.

For the Sew & Bee Happy Bee on flickr, Cindy requested a Stargazing Block from the book "Modern Blocks, 99 Quilt Blocks from Your Favorite Designers." This block was a bit complicated to construct and took several hours to make. I used scraps to make the three wonky stars in the block. It turned out really cool!

There is one more block going out in tomorrow's mail for Nancy of the Block Swap Adventure. Nancy requested a Bears Paw block in Red and Cream colors. My blocks for the Aqua and Red Bee on Flickr will be finished some time this week and mailed by weeks end. Well, time to make some dinner. Have a Happy Sunday and Happy Quilting!
