Quilting bees can be addicting.  You can see proof to the right where you’ll now see that I’m part of SIX quilt bees.  Wasn’t one or two enough you ask?  NO.  Did I need any more excuses to use my sewing machine? NO. This isn’t about logic.  This is an addiction!  But its fun, and not nearly as dangerous as drugs, or as expensive as gambling (we won’t talk about Munki Munki).

January was actually my month for this bee, and I’m still happily collecting my blocks back from everyone.  As soon as I get them all in, I’m going to whip up a few blocks to go along with it, and then put it all together and showcase it here.   YAY!  Til then, you can see what we did for Shelly, as she was the host of our February edition.  She was sweet enough to even do the tutorial for us, helping to ensure that she got some pretty great blocks back.  This is called a “cropped nine patch”.  This one was a LOT of fun to do, and something I had never even seen before!   I’m especially fond of Shelly, too, because she’s an anesthetist just like me
