The New Leaf Bee Block Blog Hop is in full swing, and I've been truly inspired by the blocks that have been created and the info that's been shared so far! Vintage reproduction, fussy cutting, paper piecing w/ downloadable templates, value studies - I learned a ton last week (not kidding)! I invite you to grab a cuppa, click around last week's posts to see how each block was inspired, conceptualized and pieced.
See full schedule below.

Fat Quarter Scramble to win some New Leaf fabrics
- Each blogger will share a letter at the end of her post, like this: "The FQ Scramble letter is: _____"
- Write down each letter as the blog hop progresses.
- Unscramble all the letters to make a word that relates to the inspirational theme for the bee blocks, which can be found here.
- Email your answer to me at info {at} daisyjanie.com anytime between
January 31st and February 3rd.
- All the correct answers will be entered into a random drawing to win a fat quarter bundle of the New Leaf fabrics.
