The Big Reveal is Almost Here

For one year now I have been in the Stitch Tease - An International Mystery Quilt Bee. There are eight of us under the auspices of our Queen Bee Di - Random Thoughts of Do or Di. The brief was we each make a block or strip for a quilt we would like to have and then the others would make a block or strip to go with it.

The hitch was we wouldn't get to see the blocks being made during the year. They were sent to someone else in the bee and that person would piece them into a quilt top and send them to the intended person at the end of the bee year.

Well, that time has arrived and eight quilt tops are now in the hands of the postal system making their way to five different countries on three different continents. I pieced Di's quilt top and it has been sent. Soon, very very soon if the postal people do their job, Di will see this quilt top.


Only she will finally see the unpixelated version. The only bit she can see clearly in the photo above is from her original block so no big surprises revealed there.

I am pretty sure she will love it. I do.

    oh, you sneaky B. Every other pixilated photo I could sort of figure out what it was, but you have me so confused and now my poor postman will think I am a stalker. Instead of running down when I hear his truck I will be camping at the mail box.
    love you!!!!
