BEES IN THE ATTIC AT ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

Bees In The Attic Bee Hive met Wednesday morning at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Pat was Queen Bee this month.  Above, you can see the blocks we gave her.

Last month, Pat showed us five blocks that she had made so we could have an idea of what she wanted.  You can read about it here (scroll down).  Pat also gave each of us a generous amount of fabrics that she asked us to use when making her block.

Pat's block is called Bitty Bits and is from the book Irish Chain Quilts by Melissa Corry. I'm looking forward to see this quilt finished.  Pat said she is making it for her daughter who wanted these colors.  It is going to be stunning.

Cheryl is going to be Queen Bee next month.  Unfortunately, she could not be with us on Wednesday.  However, she did send us directions for making this Chain block.  She also gave each of us fabrics to be included when making the above block.  She said in her note that we will need additional fabric to complete the block and asks that we choose autumn colors.  Looking forward to seeing Queen Cheryl next month!
