My sewing room has been buzzing with so many secret projects that I can’t share just yet. So, I thought I’d share some of the FUN 3.5” bitty blocks from this year’s swap. These ladies are just so talented and creative.
2014 Dec./Jan. - Sewing Room Theme
2014 Feb./March - Laundry Theme
The background of the bottom block is a real 1928 journal entry about doing the laundry.How fun is that!
2014 April/May - Word Play Theme
This month was my favorite by far. Can you guess all the words being played?? It’s hard to pick a favorite.
2014 Aug./Sept. - Steampunk Theme
This was another fabulous theme and is currently being displayed in my frame.
2014 Oct./Nov. - Snow globe Theme
I’m waiting on two more to finish the set. One got snagged in the mail.
And a cat tote that is going in the mail today.
Are you ready for the holidays?
This months bitty blocks are done and on their way. It was a snow globe theme.
Gah! They remind how far behind I am for making Christmas gifts!! Have you created many gifts this year?
Ho, ho, ho…it’s still too hot in Texas!
Apparently when I get stressed I like to do hand sewing. Who knew? What do you do when you’re stressed?
I’ve been making 3 1/2” cross stitched snow globes for the bitty block swap. I haven’t cross stitched since my kids were little… back in prehistoric days….but I’m really enjoying it!
Can you say HO, HO, HO before Thanksgiving?
Well, I officially lost my marbles. I signed up for the bitty block hand quilting round. What was I thinking?!? I’m doing everyone’s initials and will be squeaking under the wire on this finish.
And because I’m as distractible as a dog seeing a squirrel…McDonald’s has hexi bots in their happy meals! I’ve nabbed 4 so far this week. Two are wind up and two are pull & go. My dog has been enjoying the burgers and I’ve been enjoying the toys. LOL.
How is everyone doing with their S-N-O-W blocks? Are you ready for row #2?
It seems like FOREVER since I hopped in on a bitty block swap. This round was a steam punk theme so I couldn’t resist.
Here’s my version of a steam punk hummingbird. All his components are pieces from my various high school mechanical drawing homework. LOL. What a weird flash back going through that stack of papers.

The Feb./March Bitty Block Swap theme was laundry. Here’s my contribution….a laundry nightmare.LOL.

Grab a button and share the fun!! If you didn’t see it yet….the EQ Photo Fun Blog Hop information can be found here.

Thought I’d share some 3.5” bitty block swap fun.
October’s theme was TREES. This is what I received.
December’s theme was SEWING ROOM. Which makes me think of my stash so this is what I’m sending.
Have a Great Day!!!
I thought I’d share some of the creative goodness I received from the bitty block swap. These are all 3.5 inch blocks.
Weather Theme
Rainbow Paper Piecing Theme
These are amazing!
Have a FUN day everyone!
This month’s 3-inch Bitty Block theme was trees. I went tropical as it’s still too hot here to think evergreens and snow.
Hope you are enjoying fall where you are!
The other Bitty Block theme for this month was weather. Here is my take on it…
ZAP!
They crack me up all together. Poor guy. LOL.
Have a Great Monday!
The Bitty Block Committee on Flickr has returned from it’s summer hiatus. One of our themes this month is rainbow paper pieced. Here’s my contribution….a color wheel of cards.
These blocks are just 3.5 x 3.5 inches big.
Fun sitting all together. I’m looking forward to this swap round!!
Hope you have a colorful day!!
I can finally share a special bitty block that I made for a friend. It had to be kept secret for the longest time. It was part of a surprise wedding shower album.
3.5 x 6.5 inches
Congratulations!!
I finished my 3.5-inch Bitty Block prototypes for this month. Now I have to go back and make the rest. The themes were Farmers Market and Beach/Underwater. The fabric is bitty little peas in the bag.
Have a fun day!
Sometimes my trash can just gets in the way of my creativity. Hahaha. I don’t think I will ever be the poster child for paper piecing but I sure had a ton of fun doing it.
I finished my March Bitty Blocks. The theme was butterflies. These are all 3.5 inch blocks.
Both designs were from EQ7. The black butterfly was modified a lot though.
Looking forward to
spring and trees and flowers and chirping birds….
LOL. Makes me think of the song They’re Coming to Take Me Away….anyone know that song?
SWAPs Received…
Here are the 3 1/2 inch bitty block monsters that arrived. Are they great or what!
And I got a wall hanging from the MAQ6 swap on craftster that uses Creativity…creatively!!! She used lots of techniques including blanket stitch, embroidery, patchwork, reverse applique, applique, cross-stitch, stamping, beading, yo-yo’s, kansashi flowers, and felt flowers. She included all my favorite things too…irises, hummingbirds, mushrooms, owls, trees, cupcakes, and buttons. TOTALLY FUN!
Hope you have a crafty day!!
I thought I’d share the wonderful 3 1/2 inch bitty blocks I received in January. I’m lucky to get to play with these folks. They are just so creative.
This was the snow people theme. Bikini’s, mustaches and quilted blankies…oh my!
This was my favorite theme so far….chickens. Just look at all the fun ideas that everyone had.
Hope this gives you some creative inspiration.
Now go hop outside that box and make something fun….
Just finished my February Bitty Block swaps.
Be afraid, be very afraid. He’s coming for you….first up is the monster theme
Second is the bee theme. This embroidery design is by Artistic Threadworks.
Happy Sewing!
I thought I’d share what I received in my December Bitty Block swap. Our theme was fantasy figures. All these little blocks are 3 1/2 inches square.
Aren’t they lovely!
Thank you everyone!
Here is one of my blocks for the February bee theme. It’s a machine embroidery design by Artistic Threadworks.I haven’t decided what I’m doing for the monster theme yet.
Sewing onward…..
