January Bee Block

Yes, it is February.

And yes, I did just finish my Stash Bee block.

I have a good reason why I procrastinated for so long.... kind of.

First if all, remember this block

Oh how I loved that block.

But it wasn't meant to be.

You see, when I posted about it, I had made it all, including using Heat N Bond.

A first for me.

I had zig-zagged around the patchwork with no problem.

In this photo you can see I started around the trunk.

At this point, my thread had broke and I NEEDED to post a finish.

Ok, so following that I broke a lot of thread, I gunked up a billion needles, and I HATED Heat N Bond.

Only then did it occur to me that "How could I hate Heat N Bond so much, and others love it so much?"

So I did some research (i.e. read the package)

I can tell you why... because I soon discovered (as it says on the package that I did not read) that I bought NO SEW Heat N Bond.... and then I sewed it!!!!

I was soooo sad that I could not finish this and I had to throw it away.

So sad.

But alas, I did. throw it away.

Here is the new one (which I love almost as much), and what will be put in the mail tomorrow...

In case you are interested, I used these markers for the siggy block...

I had many lessons learned on this.

So sorry to Sunni that it is late.

For this, I deserve for everyone to send my bee blocks late when it is my month!!!
