3 x 6 Bee – Star Hive Blocks

5 Comments / 3x6 Bee, A Lovely Year of Finishes / By

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven’t been around much this week! I’ve been working on my Season By Hand project and that has consumed my time. That and the fact that summer showed up this week and Anne and I have been busy enjoying the sun.  Oh yeah, and she decided to grow up when I wasn’t looking, I registered her for pre-school on Tuesday. She was excited, I was ready to cry! LOL

Last month I finished my star hive blocks for the 3×6 Bee. I really need to get both sets of my blocks off in the mail, but that hasn’t happened yet. Luckily I have until July 15th to get them mailed.  For the star hive I decided to do the hexie star that I did a tutorial for back in November 2012. I love how they turned out.

A quick apology, I am terribly behind on email again, I will catch up over the weekend! I promise!

What have you all been up to? Don’t forget you have until Friday to link up your goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes!

A Lovely Year of Finishes – June Goal Setting Party

6 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts, Sew BitterSweet Designs Patterns / By

Well now how do you like that! June just snuck right up on me! I thought for sure, based on the weather here in beautiful Olympia, WA, that it was still February!  We had such low temperatures last week that my 2 basil plants got FROST damage!  Here’s hoping for a warmer month this month!

It is now time to set our goals. I have have an adorable quilt that I would like to get quilted up and a pattern written for! You might recognize the design, but this is a much larger scale. I will be writing the pattern for a baby/lap quilt size and also for a king size. The king size will consist of 4 blocks total, let me tell you, it looks super cool all mocked up!

Your turn! Shanna and I are excited to see what you have planned for the month of June!

As always, we have some amazing prizes offered by our fantastic sponsors, please make sure you take the time to visit each one and give them a little love. This challenge wouldn’t be near as much fun without them!

Remember, to be eligible for prizes you must link up to the party and the end of month party showing off your finish. We have a mid-month party too but it is not required, more for fun and cheering each other on!

June Prizes Include:

 1. Choice of $15 or 2 charm packs from Stitch n’ Giggles

2. Loving Pieces donated from Paper Pieces

3. $20.00 Gift Certificate from the Quilting Lodge

4. A Fat Quarter Bundle from Moda United Notions

5. $15.00 Gift Certificate to Fat Quarter Shop

6. $25.00 Gift Certificate to Superior Threads



May Finishes Party – A Lovely Year of Finishes

21 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts, Swoon / By

Can you believe the year is almost half over?!? One more month and we will be there.  May is supposed to be the month of flowers, but here in Washington state we are still experiencing Showers mixed with hail on some days.  Luckily that hasn’t stopped my garden from growing along nicely!  This month I picked my Swoon Quilt top to finish – it took me 17 months to finish the top as I started the first block in January of 2012.  I’m very happy to cross this off my list, and looking forward to figuring out how I want to quilt it.

Here is a picture laying down on my lawn. This quit top is HUGE! We tried getting a picture with my hubby holding it…but he isn’t quite 80″ tall, but the colors look SO much better in this pic.

See how the colors pop in this pic? Next time I will get him a ladder to stand on! LOL

Your turn! Time to show us all what you have been working on! Remember, you can link up here or with Shanna over Fiber of All Sorts, no need to link up twice. Make sure you grab a button from the sidebar to let everyone know you are playing along, and try and visit at least 2 other people who have linked up and leave a comment, we all love comments!

No worries if you aren’t a blogger, you can link up your finished project from a photo you’ve added to our  flickr group.

Shanna and I are excited to host this monthly link with tons of prizes!

To be eligible for May prizes you must have entered into the goal setting party.

May – A Lovely Year of Finishes Mid-Month Check In

8 Comments / A Lovely Year of Finishes, Fiber of All Sorts, Swoon / By

How on earth did it already become the middle of May. I think that time is moving faster and faster each month. On Mother’s Day my little Anne turned 3.5, I was not ready for that AT ALL!  Thankfully my 3.5 year old still naps! So that has given me plenty of time to work on my Swoon Quilt! Here are my last 2 blocks:

The bottom one is my favorite of the 2 but then I’m partial to that lovely red print.

Now Shanna and I would love to see how you are doing this month! This is not a mandatory link up, just a nice way to see where you are at and a friendly reminder that you have only so many days left to finish.

Please grab a button from my sidebar and link up. Remember it is the same link up on Shanna’s blog so if you have linked up with her, you don’t need to link up with me too 🙂

And let’s not forget to thank our lovely sponsors who had so much fun to each month!
