HAVE YOU MADE A ONE BLOCK WONDER?

When Sue sent me a picture of this stunning quilt, I was thrilled.  This is what she said:

• "I finally finished my "One Block Wonder" from last year's class at Attic Window.  It went to my BFF for her birthday (last year's - it was in July but I didn't quite make it!).  Please share this picture with the gal who taught the class, the one whose hand I cut - twice!  Thanks for keeping us connected to Attic Window!  Sue L."

What a friend you are Sue.  I'm sure Vickie S. who taught the class will be thrilled to see this quilt too.

Thanks Sue for sharing your lovely quilt with us.

IS THERE A BEE IN YOUR ATTIC?

Cathy M. and I are starting a new Bee Hive.  I know it is difficult to read the flyer above so I'll tell you what it says:

Come and Join!
A New Bee Hive is being formed.  Twelve sewists are needed to participate in a new Bee Hive.  One month you will be the Queen of the Hive.  As Queen Bee, you will get 11 blocks for you to make into a quilt.

An organizational meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 27th at 10 a.m. at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Please call the shop at 616-785-3357 to get your name on the list.  If more than 12 people want to belong to a hive, we will create as many Hives as necessary to accommodate everyone.

Each month, if you wish, you can stay and sew with your friends.

Advantages of belonging to this bee:

• Learn New Techniques
• Meet New Friends
• Have Fun

Call the shop now to attend the organizational meeting.  Even if you don't want to join, you will enjoy socializing and seeing photos and actual quilts from when Cathy and I belonged to a Hive.  Hope to see you there!

A QUILT FIT FOR A FIRST LADY

Isn't this quilt stunning!  When I asked Misti what she's been working on, she sent me this picture.  This is what she said,

• "Well there is progress being made on my “first lady’s” quilt.  I added a border after this was taken and then there are 4 more borders to go around the entire quilt before its finally finished.  This one will end up 102” by 102”, should be a nice quilt for our bed."

Misti is a real go-getter and I know if I need a picture to post, she will have something new.  She also said,

• "I’m making matching table toppers for the night stands and dressers also.  Lots of left-over scraps to be able to do that.  I played catch up on some BOM’s this weekend so that was nice.  Once I can get this quilt out of the way I can finish up a couple other projects before starting my next one."

Thanks Misti for sharing with us.  I always love seeing your beautiful work.
