Quilting Group Porjects

Did you celebrate National Quilting Day?

I did find time to play in the sewing room on Saturday... and

a little bit on Sunday too!

The project above is a pattern by Carrie Nelson that we

are working on this month in the AYOS group.

I am super excited to get this quilt put together. 

My focus this weekend was to work on my Bees Knees

quilts. I have 3 unfinished quilts as a result of being

in the Bees Knees Quilting Group. 

The one above is my current project.

I still have blocks coming back to me, so this quilt will 

grow more! 

I love the look of it so far though! 

This was a result of my first year in the Bees Knees.

Everyone made the wheel blocks for me.

But from there I was suppose to make them into octagon shape...

and then into squares. I know! It's scary just to think about it!

So I have put it off for quite a long time!

Nerve wraking! 

But... since it was National Quilting Day... I got braved and

attempted it!

I think it's working too!!! 

I think I will be playing with this one throughout this week.

I will share my progress!

(this quilt is one I saw first at Hyacinth Blog)

This is another one that I did along with my Bees Knees group.

I only had the blocks half way sewn together. I kept thinking I was going to make

it larger. But after looking at it I figured it was just fine the size it

is. So, I sewed the rest of the blocks together. 

It was a pattern from Moda Bake Shop. I think it's called

Starry-eyed. I love the Countdown Til Christmas fabric that

the original was made in but since I embarked on this journey

long after that fabric was available my fabric choice was this

group by Aneela Hoey.

Now, this is a photo depicting my lunch hour today.

It made for a nice break in the day.

I think this is how I will spend my lunch time everyday this week!
