Long Time Posting

I bet you thought I'd disappeared!!  We'll I had knee surgery and it ended up that I had three torn meniscus.  Can you believe it!  We suspected one but it didn't show on an MRI so that is not always the end answer.
While I was laid up I made an ABC quilt for a friend.  But I can't find a photo!  I'll have to figure this out as it was cute.
I've made another set of Bee blocks for the 3x6 Bee on Flicker.  I was in two groups this round.  These are the blocks for one group.

This is the block that I made in my colors.

 This is a block that I made for the October Tag Square Group.
This is the angel block that I made and the block is Indiana Puzzle
 This is my November block for Tag Square Group.  She wanted a rainbow and for some reason I found that difficult until I just started cutting pieces of fabric, sewing and trimming.  Now I like this block a lot.
I've also been working on doll quilts for my granddaughters.  Here's one I did last night.

I have a pink one to do today for the other granddaughter. Must do the colors they like. :)
I've also been teaching a quilt class for the Disappearing 9 Patch at Church.  I'm not a great quilter but I know how to do it and it's worked out wonderful.  I hate binding and you can always tell.  I need a class just on binding so that I could get more comfortable.

It's a sunny morning here in Indiana but right now it's only about 22 degrees.  Burrr!  I have some cleaning to do and more doll quilts to make.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Black, White and Yellow Quilt Blocks

These are all yellow, black and white but some look tan or orange from the photo.  They are beautiful!  I just completed a swap where the person making the block chooses what square they will use and the person receiving the blocks chooses up to 3 colors.  The group is starting a new swap and there is probably time to join at http://www.flickr.com/groups/6x3bee/
This is a 9 patch that I made just playing around with fabric and of course the same colors

I made this block today as I'm also in a swap and the block must be squares.  I think this round is filled but you can check it out at

Both of these are for anyone not just USA.  That is fun as the fabrics are all great and the selection would be so hard to duplicate.
When I get enough of these squares then I will have one beautiful quilt. 
Would anyone be interested in a signature block swap?  There will be one coming up soon I hope at
The more the merrier and this should be great!
Hope everyone is having a great week-end!  It's cooled down here and feels great but we need RAIN!!

Bellsbellsjo is having a new swap for quilt blocks and if you would like to join then go to

About Tag Square Bee



We are a group of thirteen quilters from all over the world, making each other blocks from our own stash. All the blocks will be based around squares and square designs. Members get to choose the colour scheme they want for their quilt.
The above is copied and pasted from the group.

This is a Flicker Group and I'm also in the 3x6 and waiting to get into the Siggy Block.  I have some beautiful blocks from one of my last swaps and the maker picks the block pattern but uses colors that you request.  The photo below is some old blocks but they are square.  If you like square patterns then you will love this group!!
