Just five more days until spring break...I can make it! I am tuckered out and in desperate need of a break! I didn't sew nearly as much as I had hoped this week, but I did manage to finish my March Bee Blocks
as I made some progress with the scrap pile. Of course, the bag doesn't look any less full, but I've cut quite a few more block components for my various projects. I think I'll pin pieces together so when I have a few minutes here and there this week I can get some blocks sewn up. I'm the type who usually just cuts the pieces for one block, then sews them together, rinse, repeat, not the type to cut out a whole quilt and then sew it all together, so having a bunch of pieces cut already is novel to me. If I sew up everything I have cut out already, that's quite a few more blocks to add. We'll see!
In other crafting news, I belong to a Buy Nothing Facebook group, and look at what I scored this weekend! I tied a quilt some years back with buttons, and have been itching to do that again, so I was keen to get more buttons, but some of these buttons really make me want to knit up a garment to feature them.
Some of my favorites:
|
I love big buttons on hand knits |
|
I can see this holding a cape closed at the throat |
|
I'm ready to knit up a cabled cardigan just to use these beauties! |
|
Can you say baby sweater?? |
|
And who is this cute little critter? Reminds me of a Sandra Boynton character... |
|
So retro! I see another cardigan in my future. |

It's hard to wait for a vacation but it's coming! Hopefully you'll have time to piece more blocks. They're very pretty, happy stitching!
What is the name of your Bee block? I don't think I've ever seen that block before. Have fun with the buttons.
Great score on that button jar!! Enjoy your time off.
The blocks pulled me in -- and what a delightful button assortment!
