As I mentioned yesterday – I headed off to Mom’s for the weekend. The plan was in the works before the furnace stopped working so I wasn’t just trying to avoid a potentially cold house.
I had two quilts to quilt, but I only managed to get one done (the story of my life lately) and that one is Bee a Star
As you may recall, this one was created from the blocks provided in the second half of the Moda Blockheads 5 sew along. (The first half resulted in this quilt.). Like the first half, I kept this layout simple, this time opting for some cornerstars with fussy cut bees.
Of course this one has all kinds of wonderful bee details throughout the blocks
The backing fabric is a lovely yellow paisley that just matched so perfectly.
I have a small chunk left so no doubt it will show up in some scrap quilts at some point.
This one is destined for the shop, but sadly, not just yet. You may or may not know, but Canada Post is currently on strike. Shipping by courier is exorbitant unless you’re a bigger business that can get a decent volume discount, so we’ve put the shop into vacation mode until the strike is over.
Hopefully, the two sides will come together soon and we can get back in business.

Beautiful fabrics in this quilt. What a crappy time for a postal strike – hope it is resolved quickly.

I love, love, love this quilt. Bees everywhere! I guess they knew when the postal strike would do the most damage. I hope it all gets taken care of soon.
Blessings,

Stunning! Absolutely stunning.
I saw your comment about your holiday Barbie and of course, I would give her a good home if you are sure you want to part with her. I just “winterized” my other dolls, putting them in warm winter outfits. I am totally shocked at how much joy they give me. I feel like I am 10 again when I play with them. If that’s a sign that I’m going to the home soon, I’m packing my girls up and they are going with me….lol.
