March has been super busy. I have been very busy longarming quilts for others but I thought I'd stop in and show you the blocks I made for bee this month and an embroidery I finished up the Hoop Up! Stitch & Send swap.
Here are the blocks:
Beatnik Bee: Katie asked us to make improv style blocks for a quilt she will be putting together for her daughter. I did add the green solid in each of the blocks as I thought it would compliment the fabrics nicely.
I wanted to make this one look like a window scene!
This one is just a basic log cabin done improv style.
The Maple Leaf Quilters Bee: Cate asked for a Crossed Canoes paperpieced block using fabrics she had sent. There wasn't enough of the print so I added the green print in 2 of the canoes.
TISQ Bee: Suzanna asked for a wonky shoofly block using fabric she had sent.
Hoop Up! Stitch & Send: I received a wonderful piece from Cathy Gaubert which you can view on her photostream here. Cathy was inspired by my theme "Found in an Oriental Garden" and designed a beautiful piece for me. Thanks so much Cathy, it's beautiful. I plan on using the pieces I receive for this swap in a quilted wallhanging.
I am not quite the designer she is but I also designed a piece for her "Into the Woods" theme. The fabric it is stitched on is repurposed green linen sent to me by Cathy.

That is four embroidery pieces done for this swap, only 2 to go!
Beautiful as always, Marianne!
