Bees a go-go

So yeah, a year ago I joined Stash Bee, fast forward and now I am organizing two virtual bees! Not quite sure how that happened, but I am stoked about the whole thing. First there is the ModQImpovB


We are a brave group of Canadians and Americans (so basically North Americans) who are improving each month. I must say that this one is SO FAR outside of my comfort zone (I need a pattern people), but that is why I did it, to learn new things and get outside of my box. For my month I asked for completely scrappy improv, here is a peek at the blocks I have received so far (the ones on the left)


and blocks I have made for July and August


The newest Bee started like today! Global Scrap Bee

This group started as a result of the Plum and June Let's Get Acquainted Blog Hop. Some of us met on the hop and decided to keep the fun going with a Virtual Bee! We didn't quite have 12 blog hop people so we also invited a couple of fellow quilters who love a good Bee! We cater to those who are outside of the US and those in the US who don't mind some international postage! This group has some new-ish quilters and some folks who are trying their very first Bee. With members all over the world, I think we are going to have a great time.

I am first up as Queen Bee for September and am going to ask my Bee mates to make this


with this as the color inspiration

I cannot wait to see what comes out of people scraps / stashes :)

I was worried as Stash Bee started to wrap up that I would not have any more Bee work, guess I have no more worries there!

Are you Bee-ing? Would love to hear all about it!

  3. You totally had me fooled, Adrienne! I thought you started ModQImprov Canada because you loved improv piecing. Looking forward to the new bee! The colours for that first block are right up my alley!
