A Bee in our Bonnets

Do you ever go through a phase where you feel perpetually behind the eight ball? Both Becca and I are caught in a perfect storm of this, that and a lot of the other. Finally, we had a little time to whittle down that to-do list just a smidge this weekend.

Yes, Bee-ers, that means you! The packets are ready to be sent for Round 2 which will benefit the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS. These will hit the mail in the next day or so.


As far as Round 1 goes, we've still been waiting for 5 blocks for each Project Linus quilt. Then we discovered that the Post Office had a hiccup in our forwarding order. We got that straightened out today and expect a parcel of blocks to hit us this week.

So far things are looking great. Becca will be heading up the quilt for the boy since she has two girls and has sewn her share of pink. The final layout will depend on the remaining blocks but we're so pleased with how amazing these quilt tops are coming together.


I'll be championing the girl quilt because, conversely, I have two boys and yearn for a little something feminine once in a while.


On a related note, everyone who has expressed interest in the Bee should have received an email from us by now. If you haven't, we haven't been able to get your email address through Blogger. Please send us an email at info (at) sewfreshfabrics (dot) com. Thanks.

  5. My block must be in the glitch group b/c I don't see it here. I sent it on the 27th or 28th.
