    Default I can't believe it's done

    I was asked by my sister who is a teacher and a beekeeper, to make 3 things. A round table topper (never did one before) a wall hanging and of course a lab robe sized quilt. I tried to incorporate both the teaching and the bees into the projects. She found a quilt which ironically was made by one of our board members with bees and a hive but unfortunately it was embroidered and I don't have an embroidery machine. So thanks to seeing Terri bb's quilt 54-40 I happened to notice on the picture a beehive and some adorable bees. Needless to say thanks to this awesome woman I was able to use the pattern for that block. So now without further ado here hopefully are the items I have made. I tried uploading these yesterday and kept running into a failed upload so I hope it works today. BTW my sister loves everything and school started today. I also need to thank my long arm quilter Sarah, she had it back in 3 days!!

    WOW! Fantastic projects. You done great on all of them. I love each & every one of them. I really like the bee fabric you put in the quilt. I look every where I go but haven't found any yet.
