Common Threads: Texture
http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2010/08/texture.html
Thursday, August 5, 2010. There was so much fabric I decided to make two blocks -. Hope that is ok! This was so fun - such gorgeous shades of solids and then deciding on. What pops of color to add to it. I used some scraps from. Far, Far Away 2 to add another dimension of texture with the linen. I'm mailing them off tomorrow. So excited to see this!

Common Threads: The Red Cross Quilt
http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2010/08/red-cross-quilt.html
Thursday, August 19, 2010. The Red Cross Quilt. I started with this wonderful embroidery and made it a focal point.I adored that teeny tiny cross too. I planned something totally different when I first thought about this project, but it evolved into this and I'm pretty happy with it. I had another bee make crosses for me as well, and of course they got all mixed up in the process. I'm working on making this two sided with another cross design on the back. Oh wow Jacquie - this is absolutely gorgeous!

Mid Mod Quilt Bee: September 2011
http://midmodbee.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 6, 2011. This was a tough one. I found Yahaira's inspiration very inspirational. In fact, I didn't know where to start. I also found myself wanting to make an entire quilt as opposed to one block. In fact, I will definitely be making a quilt inspired by Lucienne Day one of these days. So much eye candy. Thank-you Yahaira, for pointing me, us, in this direction. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What is the Mid Mod Bee? Who's in the Bee? Rossie (of rOssie/Fresh Modern Quilts).

Mid Mod Quilt Bee: Block for Blair
http://midmodbee.blogspot.com/2011/07/block-for-blair.html
Thursday, July 7, 2011. I had a lot of fun putting this block together.perhaps too much fun as it is not the appropriate dimensions and I'm out of fabric. Ruh-roh. Well, I have faith that you, Blair, can figure out a way to work it into your quilt top or just slap it on the back! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What is the Mid Mod Bee?

Common Threads: July 2010
http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 26, 2010. Jess and Sarah's blocks. First up is my block for Jess. I had intended on making a block similar to the one circled above. My width guestimation was way off, so the beginnings of that block turned into the center of my final block and a little strip in one of the outer edges. Here's an unobstructed shot of the block. Here's the final block. I guess I was trying to create "texture" with my blurry photography! Thanks so much for participating in the bee this round, everyone! Everyone...

Common Threads: February 2011
http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 7, 2011. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Twelve quilters from eleven different states come together to sew in a virtual quilting bee. Each Quilter is assigned a month. That quilter picks out their fabric, purchases it, cuts it into smaller portions and sends it to the 12 other quilters. They also include directions to each of the 12 other quilters as to what they would like the blocks to be like. The 12 quilters do the stitching. The quilter then assembles their blocks into a finsihed quilt.

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Hope you enjoying that little guy and that wonderful baby smell :-). I used Oh Fransson's Hedgerow pattern. For my block - hope you like it! Somehow I had trouble getting my seams to line up perfect for all the crosses for Jacquie. But I made three and hope they are ok! I hope you are doing great with your new baby! I had a lot of fun stitching up your blocks yesterday. I was in a groove and ended up making three! I hope you like them! They will be in the mail tomorrow. The blo...

http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. I have learned that some of my packages for June didn't get sent out (SIGH.long story). They are going out today, so if you haven't gotten my fabric yet, it will arrive this week. Sorry for the delay! Thursday, June 24, 2010. Last but Not Least. I Hope! This was made by The Mayfly. For the Virtual Quilting Bee. I love it hard. The simplicity of the neutral tones, the fabulous texture, the pleats. (Oh! I loved them all! And it struck me that this block was just as textural as the ot...
