…to Little Mademoiselle! She made her appearance last week, quite a surprise to us all!  7lbs 12oz’s, she is cute as cute as a button and such a joy!  Little Mister is taking over the role as big brother with ease, and Mister Parfait and I are doing quite well! 

We did find a chance to finish and send out the quilts blocks for the 3 x 6 Bee!  Above is the whole set, I’m going to miss them!  Now I have the next quarter to look forward too, better get to thinking up blocks!

Also, we are still working on a tutorial for the block; there will just be a slight baby delay! ^_-

EDIT: Tutorial is up!

Above is my test block for the [3 x 6] Sampler Quilt Mini Bee 2nd Qtr 2011 – Beehive 23!  Unfortunately I can’t take any credit; that belongs to Mr. Parfait.  My original design did not work out, and I wallowed in self pity for a few days before giving in and accepting that it just wasn’t going to work.  After days of trying to think of something else (I had a mental block due to my original design, heh) my Husband came up with this design.  A few days later we got busy working on a test block using my color palette.  It is cut and pieced as patchwork, then set on point.  I really love the finished block, the interlocking squares/shapes look really neat!  I can’t wait to see it made in the other color choices; I think orange and aqua on gray is going to look great!
