Ellen's Bee Block

Ellen provided blue fabric and asked us to create an improv block that told our story and that used HST. I've been working with Kaffe Fassett fabric--I love the colors, design, basically everything.  So Kaffe is my story. As my block shows I'm a linear thinker. I'm still not confident when it comes to improv, so this was a good challenge for me.

Ellen's September Bee Block

Ellen asked for some half square triangles and a color story, along with using her deep indigo fabric. I love red, but have recently been migrating to orange, so that's what showed up when I started looking for fabrics. The tiny green fabric is the "pop."The other part of the story is that I love "share" tables, so you may see some of your fabrics here, and since I never know how to stop 'shopping', there are LOTS of choices here!

Lucky Bee 13

Ellen's September Challenge for our bee

was to "Tell a Color Story"

She supplied a navy solid & 2 pieces of Japanese indigo.

Ellen requested that it be improv &  feature HSTs.

I love blue!    I love white with navy!   I love black with navy!

She also requested a pop of color if we weren't using a lot of color.

June Show and Tell

We started the meeting with some amazing charity baby quilts!

September Lucky Bee block for Ellen

For her September Lucky Bee block, Ellen asked us to make an improv block that tells a color story using half-square triangles. My story is called, "Lisa Mason Got Me Hooked on Orange."  (Thank you, Lisa.)

NOTICE FROM THE COMMUNITY/CHARITY COMMITTEE
We now have enough Squares for the Quilt Challenge - please don't make any more!

The summer is almost over and Cynthia has called the board together to start thinking about our first meeting of the year.  Hard to believe October really isn't that far away!  Just in case you're missing our meetings as much as we are, we've come up with a last-minute challenge to create blocks for a new guild quilt.
