My First Bee.....

I have never been in a bee before.....

Well, not a regular one!

I did swap embroidery blocks on a couple of 

occasions last year or the year before....

I'm pretty excited to be participating in this bee...

(aka "Modern Stitching Bee"!)

August is Leanne's month and she requested....

Grannies, with a border!

I made this one before I realised she wanted 

scrappy...


That'll teach me to not read the instructions 

carefully....

This, however, is an official one!


and this one too....


I hope Leanne enjoys them as much as I enjoyed 

making them for her!

What bees are you participating in at the moment?

Great Grannies! I especially like them since they are orange and yellow themed.
I'm in the Great Granny QAL, is that like a bee?

Congrats on the bee! I'm in Modern Blocks Been, Always Bee Learning, & do.Good Stitches. I love the scrappy grannies - maybe even better than the regulars!

Your blocks turned out great. Leanne will really love them, I am sure.

They're so nice, I do love the grannies. No bees here either, but I'd like to try one at some stage (maybe when the kids are a bit older and I get some more time). They look like a lot of fun!

Great job....not just on the blocks but you have gotten Susan cussing...of course that is easy to do. Maybe I should have said....you got Susan scurrying about!
