Catching up on my bees

I actually got to do some sewing last night and today and have been catching up on my July bee commitments.

Firstly my block for Karrie-Lynn - Fresh Modern Bee.
We had to choose a half square triangle block for the sampler quilt she is creating.  It took me forever to choose a block, then decide on my colour layout, but got there eventually and I think it has come together quite well.  The fabrics were Make Life by Sweetwater for Moda which are gorgeous, so I needed to them justice.

Here is the block dry stone walling . . .

Next I finished my blocks for the Sewn Together Bee, July is Hollie's month and she is making a quilt for her fiancée so she has chosen "manly" fabrics!  I started these blocks on Saturday but had a bad sewing day and couldn't finish them.  My zig zag was puckering and no matter what I did I couldn't sort the tension, I ended up tinkering with my sewing machine and in a foul mood! Yesterday was far more successful and I finished them really quickly.

Now I just need to finish my swaps and I can sew something for me.  I recently got City Quilts and Cherri's Tempest pattern and am dying to have a go with some of my solids from the shop.  City Quilts is a fabulous book, I would highly recommend it!
