Tuesday was our neighborhood crafty get together and this time it was here, since I have the kids at home from school. I had to clear/clean my long table and set up 8 chairs, uhhh it looked so NICE (for a few hours)
I made another small bee pincushion for an online friend
two pins for antennae’s 
Here’s MY bee and the new bee
I finished quilting and binding the X and plus quilt
Again I goofed and I had the backing about 3” longer TOTALLY one way and that was the way I mounted it and with the red snappers and my usual way of moving the top 1” below those, I ran out of backing about 1/2” before I was done!! bummer! so I had to take it off the frame and add some more.
I quilted a loopy swirl all over it
Since I used 1yd of each fabric and the layout was 6×7, I had cut enough fabric out to make 11 of each fabric combination so I had 2 blocks leftover which I seamed into the backing.
Happy 4th of July everyone!!
(I finally got my new green card, it was supposed to get here in April or May, now I’m good for another 10yrs- soon I’ve been here in the US more than half my life)
The pincushion is really cute and the quilt turned out great. I love the extra blocks on the back.
That bee pincushion is adorable!
The pincushion is so fun! I have saved the pattern and want to make one eventually!How frustrating to run out of the backing SO CLOSE to the edge! The leftover blocks look great centered in the backing.
Darling pincushion! Lovely quilting too on the quilt
Love the x and + and the backing too – simple and nice!
