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!

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.

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...

Common Threads: Challenging, but so fun!

http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2010/08/challenging-but-so-fun.html

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Challenging, but so fun! This was probably the most challenging bee block I've ever made. I so appreciate the opportunity to stretch and struggle. When I saw that you wanted it to be dimensional, I thought of those little paper fans we used to make in school. So I played with fan folding, and angles. I hope the bit of color isn't too much. I'm inspired to make a dimensional quilt of my own. I love the fan and that big pop of red! August 16, 2010 at 6:57 AM. Soniksecurity offers ...

Common Threads: finally found a quiet moment!

http://commonthreadsquiltbee.blogspot.com/2010/08/finally-found-quiet-moment.html

Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Finally found a quiet moment! Here are my blocks for sarah and jess, hooray for a baby who goes to bed earlier than i do! First, sarah's block:. I decided to use fringe as my texture for this block. this was a stretch for me as i normally find unfinished edges unattractive, so i wanted to see if i could use them in a different way. The second block I finished was Jess'. August 26, 2010 at 12:09 AM. August 26, 2010 at 6:08 AM. I love that fringe texture. Brilliant idea! What go...
