It’s time for another block in the Save the Bees block of the Month Quilt Along! Every month a group of us are sewing along with Jacquelynne Steves and her super cute Save the Bees Quilt. This month we’re sewing up little hexies – they are perfect to go along with the flowers and bee blocks.
I am really loving how this is coming together! I’m using Vintage Adventure fabrics for my quilt and I think the florals are looking so fun with these blocks. I did a little fussy cutting for my hexagons – focusing on the bicycles and some little florals.
For my version I did regular paper piecing for the hexagons then stitched them to the background fabric with a small blanket stitch on my machine.
Then I added a little embroidery running stitch around the hexagons to tie in the block with the bee blocks. I think it helps them stand out too!

I like to sew everyday all day. So no holiday sewing planned, just everyday sewing
Holiday sewing had better be done by now as I get overtime work between now and February. I did finish an overized twin quilt for one of my grandsons so that is done.
I found a quilt pattern last year for a loving Christmas Quilt/Throw. I got the material earlier in the year and I have finished it in plenty of time for the holidays. I just love the cardinals and poinsettias.

I have lots of ideas and intentions in my head, but with my schedule, I doubt they will get made.
My Christmas projects are just a few – all organized into separate plastic organizers from the Dollar Store – a table runner made from inherited double wedding ring quilt piece leftovers from family quilters who have since passed on, a jellyroll star quilt, and my big brother’s University of Montana logo quilt for his new guest room. Aurifil thread would compliment all these projects!

Holiday sewing? I plan to make some bags and pouches and pillow cases at least.
Last year I started a few projects that involved sewing some rows of mini charms, and then sticking sweet Christmas phrases. Well, I never got around to choosing my Christmas phrases and doing the stitching. That is my goal for this year: do the stitching. Finish the projects. Give the gifts.
Finish a tree skirt I started last year.

I am working on two twin bed quilts for Christmas presents.
I am making a few lap quilts, couch quilts, and wall hangers for gifts. I have 3 made and about 7 more to go.

Your blocks are so pretty and I like the stitching you did around the hexagons it really does make that block blend in with the others. The only thing I have planned for holiday sewing is finishing a Christmas quilt that I started over a year ago.
I am finishing up a Christmas themed king size quilt for my granddaughter and have a king size quilt ready to go to the long arm quilter for my daughter. I plan on making pillow shams for both quilts. If given the time, ha ha, I will make a tree skirt for our tree.

I just got my sewing room set up (almost!) after 3 years. I try to always have a baby quilt on-hand in case I need one. I have one almost finished and one of my nieces is pregnant! So that is the first project to work on.
If I manage that, then I will make a bunch of mug rugs and coasters.

Thanks for the chance to win some thread!

I have my Christmas sewing all packed in the first tote to unpack when we get moved Nov.1. I have the foresight to get everything cut out and even got some piecing done. For each of my adult children and grandchildren’s households I have new tree skirts and sets of holiday placemats in their Christmas colors. I even managed to get 2 sets of placemats pieced before I had to pack the studio. I confess to suffering from fabric withdrawal!

I’m planning on working on a snowman quilt I started last year
I have the pleasure of going to a quilting retreat in November which gives me time to do some sewing for Christmas – love it!
Holiday sewing – Oh my YES! This year am planning on making placemats for everyone that comes to Thanksgiving dinner to take home with them and I am making special placemats for my Grandkids to use at their Christmas dinner this year! I love doing different special things each year for the kids.
I am finishing up a Halloween Quilt now, but will soon pick up the 3 Christmas quilts I need for this year. Mostly the tops are finished, sort of, just need to quilt and bind and label. Here’s hoping!
I have a Dresden plate Christmas top made with sparkly blue fabrics. I hope to finish it by Christmas.
Holiday sewing? I just finished up a Christmas throw for one niece and am working on another for another niece!
I have never sewn using a panel before, but I found the cutest one at my LQS that reads “Baby it’s cold outside” on a chalkboard-looking background and knew I had to make a quilt with it!
Holiday sewing is always a fun treat. I’m working on a holiday mug rug. I’ve had an ongoing BOM Santa quilt that I’m trying to finish. I fell in love with applique and changed this Santa BOM from pieced to applique blocks. I’ve added different Santa’s in Action to make it more personal, e.g., Santa flying a plane, fishing, in a pickup truck and in a military uniform..

I’m working on baby quilts, bibs, and burp rags for our local Babies In Need program.
I try to sew every day – now that the grandkids are school age I have them help make an ornament for their tree – saw a cute quick ornament that will probably be the project this year!
Yes, I have a lot of Christmas gifts planned out … now how many I get done is another question!
No holiday sewing for me.
I have one holiday lap quilt to surprise my friend for Christmas who lives in another state. She loves horses and I found a beautiful panel to use for the top. I have 3 Quilts of Valor tops and another lap quilt to back and bind first. I’m a beginner but I have really jumped in with both feet! I don’t even have a stash yet! LOL
