I’ve been busy as a bee on this quilt! It’s the Bee Happy Quilt by Lori Holt<\/a> using her newest Bee Basics & Bee Backgrounds lines. The pattern is a free download from Riley Blake Designs’ website<\/a>. Each week, Lori posts great photos of her block construction and tips for making yours as cute as hers. I wasn’t so sure about doing the embroidery on this one, but I’m glad I went ahead and tried it. It doesn’t take very long to do and it really is a great detail on these blocks.<\/p>\n

Brace yourself! Many, many pictures ahead! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
