Bee Blocks

I joined another online quilt bee this year. I really look forward to getting to know some of these great ladies and fabulous quilters a little better this year. 
This weekend I spend some time playing in the scrap bin and making the first three blocks. I am pleased to say that I am so caught up now that I am actually ahead!! See, there are THREE blocks there and this is only February. Woot!!!

OK, so that "ahead" thing only applies to the bee blocks. Still, it's better than being behind in EVERYTHING. 

I used to teach sewing and quilting classes many years ago but took time off when the boys were growing up. I hope to get back into teaching and am currently in the process of working up some classes. I have a few classes planned but need to get the class samples made and finalize the lesson plans. 

What sort of quilting class would YOU like to take?

2014 The Year of the Red and White Quilt

I know many quilters were inspired by the "Infinite Variety:Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts" show sponsored by the American Folk Art Museum in 2011. I certainly was. I made a high energy red and white quilt last year and am eager to make another red and white quilt.

Did you see that SewCalGal is hosting a year of Red and White Quilt challenges? The design challenge scheduled later in the year may be just the motivation I need to get another red and white quilt designed and made. 

The first event over at SewCalGal is a quilt show of Red and White Quilts made before 2014.

My entry is this quilt made from the traditional Grand Right and Left block. 

I made the quilt and wrote the directions up as a free pattern on the Fairfield website.

My original post for this quilt is here.

Head on over and see the rest of the red and white quilts entered in the virtual quilt show.
