SAL Update 7.4.21

Happy 4th of July my friends! I’m super happy to get some extra stitching and sewing time in during this extended weekend. I’ve had such a busy month at work that I have done very little stitching and have barely made my goals. Up until today, I had not made any progress on this block, Block 18 – Bee Bountiful, but I was determined to take a little time this morning to make some progress to share. Here’s where I was last time:

And here I am now! I decided to stitch until the red barn was complete. I will move to the weather vane and the mini quilt for the next update.

SAL Update 6.13.21

Hello Friends! I made a little progress on Block 18 – Bee Bountiful. As you can see, I’m starting with the barn in a traditional red color. It’s so much fun seeing the design come to life!

SAL Update 5.23.21

Hello Friends! No stitchy progress this go around, but I did prep my fabric for the next block. Here’s Block 18 – Bee Bountiful. I took the liberty to do a little redesign on this barn as the original left off the roofline and I found it to look a bit incomplete. I’m much happier with the touch up! The cornstalks and the bee is teeny so I tried very hard to be soft handed with my tracing, but ultimately I’ll have to reference the paper design to ensure I stitch the corn and leaves where they should be. Loading to my q-snap and I’ll get to backstitching soon!
