I have had a lot of fun with #savethebeesbom I enjoy your blog & your beautiful creations thanks so much!
I’m enjoying your newsletter.
Love the Bees blocks. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.
I started this as a gift, I am thinking I might have to keep it. I will make another for a gift. I have very few quilts that I have made, usually give them away.
Love your blocks! This is such a fun project.
I am fairly new to quilting and am amaze at the talent some people have! Would love to win the goodies! Thank you for sharing all that you do!
Love this block, so adorable.
Your blocks look great! I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s finished quilts next month.
I just discovered your blog and what great timing. I found fantastic ideas for gifts in you library. Thanks.
I also use the Olfa rotary cutters, both 60 mm and for curves, 28 mm.
Your blocks are beautiful! Thanks for participating as a blog hop blogger! It’s so fun to see how others are putting these blocks together!
I love the Save The Bees quilt. It is so cute. Thank for this giveaway.
Love this Bee Block! It has been fun to see the different color combinations people have used!
The 28mm Olfa rotary cutter was my first rotary cutter. I now have every size and use them all the time.
Hola Connie, bonita abeja. Mi cutter favorito es también el de 28mm. Ojalá sea la afortunada. Un saludo
I have Olfa rotary cutters and mats in assorted sizes. They’re the best!
True story, I cut the back of my hand with my olfa cutter this week…it had a relatively fresh endurance blade on it…
THanks for the inspiration for this bom by the colorsand fabrics you chose. Can’t wait to make one myself
Nice bee block!
Thank you for sharing your block. It is lovely.
Hi Connie. I love the bee blocks and your choice of fabrics. Thanks for being part of the hop. It would be great to win Olfa’s Package since I don’t have a folding mat. It would be good to have when travelling.
Love Olfa products!
Beautiful colors in your blocks. I am really enjoying seeing everyone’s blocks with different color ways.
I like the colors and fabrics that you are using in your blocks.
I love the fabrics you’re using in your bee blocks! Thanks for participating in this fun project.
Buzz Buzz, we’re all going to fly with this block!
Lovely bee blocks. I appreciate how this give away is open to international readers like me, as we often miss out.
My beekeeper friends will love the little guy keeping them company, on the wall next to their netting hats…
I have used the same two OFLA rotary cutters for nearly 25 years. I use the 45mm the most, but love the 28mm for intricate cutting.
I really like how your quilt has turned out! I need to get busy on mine
Your bee blocks are so darling — this has been such a fun BOM! I do love my OLFA rotary cutter. I have about eight in different sizes and shapes and colors, but my go-to is my pink, ergonomic 45mm cutter! 🙂
I’m working on my hexie block, almost done! I would love to win the folding mat1
Love the block!
Your bee is really cute!! I love Olfa products and have discovered the endurance blade is a must use product.
Thank you for sharing your lovely block with us.
I like the fabrics you chose for your bee.
Your block turned out great!
The Save the Bees quilt blocks have been a fun project. I have learned new techniques, too. Your blocks are so pretty. Can’t wait to see them all together in a finished quilt.
I love your bee. Thanks for sharing
This is my favorite block of all four blocks. This sew along has been sew much fun.
Such a fun BOM, and easy to do and keep caught up, thanks.
I just love the Save the Bees sew along.
I like the fabrics you used for this cute bee block.

I am in need of a new ruler and mat. The ruler I bought is less than a year old and the markings have worn off at least 50%.
It is so cool to see how all the blocks are so unique! This has been fun
I love all the Bee blocks, so creative
I have really enjoyed participating in the Save the Bees BOM. I love seeing all the finished blocks and the different color schemes that everyone has chosen. So much talent out there!
Your block is perfect! Olfa cutting tools are wonderful!
I’m loving this BOM so much. And I love that it’s one block a month because it’s doable for me.
Great block, Connie! I love the bees! I need to get to mine, but other priorities have taken over!!
I love your block! What would we do without Olfa products.
Love the bee BOM have a very special friend that is a beekeeper
love the sewing blades, nice and sharp…then my day goes great!
That folding mat would be perfect to take in the camper! Fabulous work on all your blocks.
I’m loving this cute BOM and am planning to donate the quilt to a fundraiser for one of our students!
I am really enjoying this blog hop! These bees are so cute. Thanks!
Beautiful block, thanks for the chance to win ♥
I love to see all the different fabrics chosen.
Love the bee.
Hello Connie, I am so glad to have signed up to participate with this BOM this year. I have enjoyed each and every one of your posts, especially with some of the creative ideas you have shared along the way! Only, as you know, I have been so involved in another project that I have not been able to create any of these blocks. Plus, there are some very important other projects that I must get finished up also. All of the give away items have been special, this month is also a great prize! Thank you for sharing and encouraging! Have a spectacular day!
Your bee block is so sweet. I have two different sizes of Olfa cutters, but I would also like one of the 28mm as well. Each size has its advantages and special applications can only be done with the right one.
Another favorite block. I have three different size olfa rotary cutters.
I bought and used my 28mm cutter to cut out clothes, then got into quilting.. Still have it, still use it. Great products!
Love you Bee. So darn cute.
I love this block!
Loving this project
So interesting that you mentioned 1979 as the year Olfa first marketed their 28 mm rotary cutter. I was thinking that I was in high school when I bought my first one and it must’ve been 1979 because that’s the year I was a senior! I am so far behind in my Save The Bees blocks. I made the first one and hope to get caught up at some point. They look so awesome together!
Firstimer having fun with the project. Love the bees.
Really enjoy looking at all these blocks.
Love this block! My step brother let’s a guy use his farm property for hives. He gets honey as payment. Sounds like a good deal to me!
This has been a fun and educational little project. Thank you
Your bee is cute! I especially like the black fabric you chose.
Love the bees!! And really liked seeing the different colors!
Love the blogs.
Thanks for being part of Jacquelynne Steve’s “bees” project!
So enjoying this BOM =)
I am a fan of their straight handle cutter so I don’t have to move the fabric when cutting out the pattern.
Great looking blocks. Thanks for the giveaway
Love your colors Very cute Bee.
Cute bee. Looking forward to seeing your finish.

I need to invest in a new rotary cutter

Thanks for show how you put your bee together.
I’ve fallen behind. Time for me to get busy! We have friends who are beekeepers and this will make a great display for them at the Farmers Market next spring. (So I have a little time…)
I love the colors of your blocks. I know I am probably an odd duck here but I have never used an Olfa cutter or mat. I haven’t been using one very long and just picked one up at the dept. store. Thanks for the chance to win this!
Love seeing the bloggers blocks!
I am so looking forward to getting started on the is cutie pie Bee! Love it!
Olfa brand is great! Really enjoying this BOM and can’t wait to put it all together.
I’ve been enjoying your blog & newsletter! THANK YOU!
I really like the colors you used. The black background for the hexies really makes them standout.
I’m an Olfa fan as well. i love the 28mm for paper piecing
I love the colors in your blocks. I also love the Olfa cutters and mats. I have not seen the folding mat before. It looks interesting.
I like the fabrics in your block. Love those Olfa cutters, too.
I started using the olfa mats and cutters in the early 80s when I was sewing for my daughters. Their entire dress patterns would fit on one 36 in mat! I still love the smooth cutting and have added rulers to the tool box. Your blocks are so stinkin’ cute!
Love the interesting texture in the black in the bee body. Thanks for sharing your work,
i love what you did with the antennae, very cute.
A great looking bee Connie!
