I've never had a community like this before or a place to sew with other people before, so this is pretty great. Plus, it means I will definitely sew at least one day per month. :)
I'm taking part in a round robin style bee with some of the women of the guild. The starter blocks were really eclectic, but I think that's going to make it fun! My starter block was actually one from another bee I was in that didn't quite fit with the other ones I received, so I figured this would be a fun way to give it a new life.
Last month, I received this block from Cherie.
It was so beautiful and the piecing was perfect. I wanted to show it off and allow some space for others to add something more detailed later, so I just squared off the block and framed it up. I'm excited to see what becomes of it!
Yippee! So glad to see you are settled into your new job and that life is allowing you to get back to hobbies!!! All I can say is that your new bee partners are sure lucky to have you participating : )
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty block. Bees are so fun and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
ReplyDeleteA modern quilt guild? PARTY TIMES :)
ReplyDeleteI have that yellow fabric with the white berries in my hexagon quilt. Assuming I ever finish it (AAAHHH).
How fun! It sounds like you are definitely settling in and making time for yourself. I look forward to watching as your bee progresses. You are so creative and no doubt will be coming up with some awesome rounds! I love how you framed up this block (which is just gorgeous!)-- simple, but so very effective, and it really does set it up well for the next person.
