A Cold and Some Bee Blocks

A cold has kept me down for the past week or so.  The kids got it and recovered quite quickly...so, imagine my dismay when I came down with the same thing and have been slow to mend!  I think it's all the busy-ness of being mama that has kept me under the weather!  But, I did manage to make and mail some bee blocks!

Stash Bee, August {I know, super late!} for Rachel, mammafairy sews.  The block is Starry Night by Faith of Fresh Lemons, which was my first real attempt at foundation paper piecing!  Good thing Faith has amazing directions!



Next up, Modern Stitching Bee, September for Chrissy of Sew Lux {my favorite fabric shop!}, the block is "Four Acres" from Modern Blocks: 99 Quilt Blocks from Your Favorite Designers.  It was a fun, easy block!




Okay, that's all for now, hopefully this cold will get better and I can get back to work.  Right now I think I need a cup of hot tea with honey some tea in a cup of honey, and to watch a Jane Austen movie on the couch...

    Sounds like you have the cure! Add some lemon to your tea for extra vitamin C and take a good long, hot bubble bath after the movie (or during if you have a TV near the tub!). Get well soon!

    I love it. Tea in a cup of honey would be my idea of a soothing throat coat.

    Love the blocks!! I know, don't you just get tired of a cold when it hangs forever. We are empty nesters so we do not get sick as often but sometimes the grands just think they need to share a few germs.
