Horse Shoes and Hand Grenades

We all know that close does not count except with horse shoes and hand grenades. So when I say I completed my bee blocks for August in August, I did, almost. Close is not good enough!

Worse yet, I didn't finish them because of my own numptiness. I had to send to my August mama and ask for more fabric in one of the bees because I didn't check what the iron was set on and (whisper) I scorched a piece of the fabric. I feel so stupid! Either way you look at, I failed. Sob!


So there you have it, two sets of bee blocks - almost. We have retro flowers for Katy, Miss August in the Brit Bee Round Two.


 And granny squares for Leanne in the Modern Stitching Bee.


I shall slink off into my corner now.

  7. There is always September. I am ok with the iron usually, the problem is for my husband afterward - who used it for his clothes (I only use for fabric)

  10. Come out of the corner silly billy! I'm quite sure someone as lovely as you will be forgiven very swiftly. Happens so easily with the iron.

  19. I love my grannies, they are a total success. And everyone burns a fabric once in a while, although it feels bad when it is someone else's fabric. I stained bee fabric with my iron in July, maybe we have similar irons?
