I have been enjoying my virtual quilting bees, I am in three.

This is the picture of all the blocks I received for my first month of the Rosey Little Bee. I requested wonky houses, aren't they sooo cute. still have to make mine and piece it together. 

Love the mushroom one, so different and cute!

 This block and the next one are for May Vintage Sheet Bee.... Amanda requested plus signs.  

 Love them!

 June Block for RLB  was a circle theme for Lori.

 May Wonky crumb Block for Rosey Little Bee... Made for Mary

This is the March Block for Vintage Sheet Bee  it is a string block for Rachel, so fun and easy!

April VSbee block For Jane was a pin wheel... I string pieced part of the pin wheel, love this one... almost had to keep it!

Stay tuned for the next batch of bee blocks:)

Sew and Tell Friday!

Here is what I have been working on....

A pin wheel block for my Vintage Sheet Quilting bee.

I love how it turned out and kind of want to make a pin wheel quilt now!

I had a order to complete for my blog designer and here are the finished products.

This darling half apron is made from all vintage linens. I need to make myself one now... love it.

Two Sets of Laundry and shoe travel bags.

The Large bag is the laundry bag and the three smaller ones are for shoes.  I love these and haven't made these in a few years.  They are excellent for traveling....  good way to keep shoes away from clean clothes!

Burp cloths

More burp cloths.

Have a ton more sewing I am working on... will be back soon.

Vintage Sheet FQ's IDEA

THE BEE IS FULL NOW!!!

THANKS:)

I have a crazy idea floating around in my head...... how about a Vintage Sheet Quilting BEE

I decided it would be a good follow up to our vintage sheet FQ swap... it will make us use some of our sheet stash.

What is a quilting bee you ask? It is a group of 12 ladies who each host a month and choose block design. The hostess then sends the fabric to the other 11 ladies and each person makes a block or more and sends it back. This is repeated each month for a year until each person has had their turn. It gives you a chance to try out new quilt blocks with out having to make a whole quilt. 

I am looking for 11 ladies, who love quilting and want to be part of a bee. US residents please... due to postage cost. All skill levels welcome.

If you are interested in joining you can leave a comment on this post or email me at roseylittlethings@gmail.com.

The bee will start as soon as we have enough participants.

Happy stitching!

I have been dieing to join an online quilting bee...but whenever I see one, they are all ready in progress or full.  So I thought I would see if anyone wants to join me for a quilting bee.
