Snip.Sew.Send - May

This month for Snip.Sew.Send, it was Lula Dahl's turn. She asked for log cabin blocks with a pinwheel in the center and sent tons of fabric which was nice! This is what I came up with.



I need to say that I am in love with this block and had a hard time mailing it off today but alas I did. I am going to keep this color combo in my head because I love it, the bright yellow with the muted orange.

Thanks Lula Dahl for letting me make this for you :)

Happy, Springy Blues

I finally got to sit down with Midge and put together this block. It went together so easily and I am embarrassed it took me so long to start.

Round 2?

Zonnah started a discussion in the Flickr group asking about the possibility for round 2. Check that out and let us know if you'd like to take part in round 2. I'll keep the "official" list over there.

Quick Notes (let me know if you object to any of this or would like to add something):

• Keep 12 members total
• Round 2 will run July 2010-July 2011 (skipping December 2010)

I got orange too!

I loved making this block. Something out the simplicity of it just made me happy. And the colors were nice too! One of the strips she sent me was just a little bit too short, so I substituted a fabric from my own stash that had similar tones (the bottom strip). Hope you like it! I really want to see all of these colorful blocks together!

Easy :)

April is Heather's month for Snip.Sew.Send. She had a block picked out for us to make and all we had to do was follow the instructions. She sent me these pretty orange fabrics.

Happy aqua

Heather sent me a pile of happy aqua fabrics to use in her block.


The instructions were very straightforward, the block went together quickly, and I love how it turned out (such pretty fabrics!). However, I'm a little worried because the block isn't 13" square as the instructions indicated it should be. Mine ended up 13" x 12.75". :(

I checked and re-checked, and it seems like maybe the cutting instructions in my direction sheet were a little off? The last piece needs to be cut a quarter-inch wider-- 5.5" x 13" (instead of 5.25" x 13")-- in order to make it work out correctly. Meep! Since I don't have any extra fabric to fix it, I'm really hoping that Heather will be able to make it work.

Pink & Yellow

I'm coming in a little late with Tina's block, but life has been a little crazy with work and then adding the wedding, I just got a little behind. Sorry!

I loved the pink fabrics that Tina sent, but I didn't have quite enough to finish the last square, but I hopefully she has more pink at home.


Heather's instructions were really straight forward and although I normally enjoy the challenge of doing something new, it was perfect to have something simple (thank you!). After listening to an episode of "This American Life", I had this block:


Hope you are all having a good weekend! I can't believe we've been doing this bee for almost a year already!
