Free Block of the Month 13—Sunflower from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

Fields of sunflowers are very common here in Germany. Many of them are in pick-your-own fields where you can cut what you want and then pay for them in a little box using the honor system. Other fields with sunflowers in them, as I mentioned before in a previous post, are grown solely for the sake of the bees.

Weekly update: the sampler is a flimsy from With Strings Attached

I talked about Toby jugs

The first week of every month is meeting-ful. I hosted my P.E.O. chapter Monday evening. I was also my own co-hostess (since the person assigned was not able to attend) and the program presenter. The topic was "an item from my collection" and each member showed samples and told the story of something she collects. (I'm the chapter recording secretary, too.)

Zion Woman's Club meets the first Tuesday. I was the program coordinator. Our club members contribute canned and boxed goods to the local food pantry using Green Bags. This month ...

Save the Bees Month 3 and giveaway from The Crafty Quilter

Welcome to October and this month’s block for Jacquelynne Steves’ Save The Bees BOM. If you haven’t signed up for this block of the month yet, there’s still time; you can sign up here. This month’s block was so fun and easy to make! I have a different technique to share along with a fabulous giveaway at the end of this post (now closed).

The pattern gives you the option to make this block with traditional paper pieced hexagons or with fusible applique. I chose a hybrid technique using a foundation that is a partially water-soluble ...

October Color Challenge from Patterns by Jen

Welcome to October's Color Challenge! This month the color is blue violet. I found it incredibly hard to decide on what was blue violet, especially coming after a month of *red* violet. I kept pulling out red violet to work with.

Here's the block!

Get your free pattern here! It will be available for free through June 2019, at which point it will be bundled with the other blocks and settings and sold as a full pattern. Settings will be released in December.

Free Block of the Month 12—Thistle from Telling Stories Through the Needle's Eye

We have come to one year of our Flora and Fauna of Germany blocks. Originally, the plan was to stop at a year, but we are going to continue for a little while longer because the blocks are so much fun!

This month's block is a bit prickly but beautiful in its own way and is actually a member of the sunflower family. In Celtic symbolism, the thistle represents bravery, devotion, and determination; however, in Victorian times, the thistle was a sign of meddling or intrusion.

In Scotland, there is a legend that Viking invaders came to the Scottish ...

Save The Bees month 2 and giveaway from The Crafty Quilter

Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my second block for the Save The Bees Block of the Month by Jacquelynne Steves. There is still time to sign up for this free BOM if you haven’t already. We also have a great giveaway – you can find the details at the end of this post.

I’m really enjoying this project, and the applique technique I chose to use is super quick! Flying around those shapes with black thread and free motion stitching makes it so fast. Maybe that’s why I’m enjoying it so much, or more likely that ...
