These are the blocks I made for my fellow bees in this round of the 3x6 bee.
It's intimidating to make something for people I don't know. It helps when they're chatty on the discussion threads. I study their request forms and what they've made on Flickr or on their blogs, then I start pulling fabrics from my stash in their colors. Then, the fun of creating takes over, and I try out different combinations until I'm happy with the product. There are lots of discarded pieces that end up in my scrap organizer!
Now I look forward to getting squishy envelopes in the mail with blocks from around the world. Our hive has a pinwheel theme, so all the blocks are going to have a sense of movement, and should be fun to put together!
I also made these cute booties for Maggie's baby shower. Handmade, stylish, cute; I knew she'd love them.

It's a very sweet deal indeed. Sounds like your partner gave lots of clues and I bet you hit the mark.
Those baby booties are stinking cute! Makes me want to have another baby...totally kidding Mom! But that hedgehog thing is awesome. Since I don't know how to sew I would just wrap it around my arm and nap at work.
The person who is getting that hedgehog invention is one lucky lady. It is so pretty and interesting and useful and creative! I marvel at you. And the booties are waaaaaay too cute!
