Sunday Chat from From My Carolina Home

This month teases us with nice warm days, followed by freezing cold ones. I am ready for it to moderate, and be warm enough during the day to run around without a coat. The daffodils are coming up, and just starting to make buds. I am hoping for some happy flower faces soon.

A few more are coming up in the circle too.

I got this photo of a pretty bluebird sitting on a limb. I’ve been seeing a bit more activity at the birdhouse, and I have hope that they are going to raise a family there this ...

Yellow and Grey Bee Quilt from From My Carolina Home

Last February, at our sleep-at-home retreat, I started making half square triangles for a yellow and grey quilt with bees and honey fabrics. I thought using the less desirable prints in smaller bits would showcase the others nicely. So, I made a bunch of HSTs.

Then I sewed them in pairs, intending to make pinwheel blocks.

At the overnight retreat at Febuary Hill, when I finished the potholders, the top to the Christmas mat, and the bird quilt top, I pulled out the pinwheels to figure out a design to use them. I pinned them on the design board as ...

Helping Hands Scrap Quilt from Baby Boomer Quilting Bee

Once a year, our Quilting Bee exchanges blocks for as part of a challenge. My blocks were monochromatic and a variety of colors. The sashing is from 1-1/2" strips of black and white scraps and square cornerstones. It was interesting at best.

My though process .... I threw the blocks on the wall and started playing with variations. I settled on the black and white strips to even up the size of each block. The quilt was donated to our Helping Hands Program for children living in temporary settings.

Flexible Patterning Score by Sherri Lynn Wood

My Bee mates and I had a slow year last year. We decided to start this year off with a bit of a prompt for ourselves and totally optional. I got out SLW's book of scores and chose 'flexible patterning'. I picked a shape to work with that I thought would be fun to build on. The letter F. I chose a teal blue on blue color palette added in a fun Marcia Derse print and black and started the process.

Sparkle Jane Has Been Bee-zy from Wedding Dress Blue

Sparkle Jane (Daughter) has reached that age where friends are getting married and having babies. Her friend of many years is due this fall and Sparkle Jane wanted to make her a wonderful and unique quilt.

Here it is!

The bee blocks are her own design. The sunflower is adapted from a picture. And the squares, of course, are scrappy goodness.

It will be quilted soon and ready to go when the baby arrives. Minky is planned for the back. Any suggestions for quilting?

Die Modern Cologne BeeQuilter Blöcke in 2020 from Quilt Collection M.

Seit einigen Jahren nähe ich auch in der Modern Cologne Bee mit. Das ist ein kleiner Kreis, der aus den Modern Cologne Quilters entstanden ist. In diesem Jahr sind wir insgesamt 10 Quilterinnen. Dadurch haben wir in einem Sommermonat und im Dezember eine Pause.

Der erste Block im Januar kam von Judith. sie wollte endlich ihren Spiderweb-Quilt fertig machen und dabei haben wir ihr geholfen. Ich habe anderthalb Blöcke geschafft. Diese Webkantenblöcke sind wirklich aufwändig. Aber wenn sie dann fertig sind, dann sind sie wirklich toll. Inzwischen hat Judith den Quilt schon fertig zusammen genäht und quiltet fleissig.

For the ...

To be a Bee - Blöcke in 2020 from Quilt Collection M.

Jedes Jahr wieder versuche ich mich zu erinnern, was ich denn in den Bees genäht habe. Deshalb hatte ich letztes Jahr alles in eine Tabelle kopiert und mir eine Übersicht über 5 oder 6 Bee Jahre verschafft. Da kommen ganz schön viele Blöcke zustande...und diese Tabelle war richtig beeindruckend!

Inzwischen sind wir im Juni 2020 und es wird Zeit einmal die Blöcke zu zeigen, die bisher entstanden sind. Ich hoffe sehr, dass ich das nun jedes halbe Jahr machen kann. Dann geht auch kein Bee-Block verloren.

Im Januar war ich die Königin in der To be a Bee. Ich ...

Temenos or Sacred space from Sew Sunshine

"Tremenos" - a greek word

Meaning - temenos (plural temenoi or temene) A piece of land marked off from common uses and assigned as an official domain, especially to a king, chief, or god. A sacred circle where one can be oneself without fear.

This is a Bee quilt. My Beemates were given strange pieces of fabric I cut from sari underskirts. My sister helped to care for a lady and when she died there were a few leftover saris that her children didn't want and several cotton colored underskirts she had made herself. I really liked the idea of using ...
