JUNE

Started a new quilt top this month--
All about Bee's--



Now the original pattern is only embroidery work--
but I wanted a new project to do with colored pencils and this one is perfect!!
I was a bit behind, but got caught up quickly
designed 2 more dresses and got them appliqued--
have 8 finished now--and have 3-4 more designs ready in the pattern form--
and started embroidery work on these basket blocks--
these have been waiting for about 5 years!!!!

now we will do 2 blocks a week for the outer border--







Have 2 different color groups going on for the Splendid Sampler blocks--

Getting alot of the basket blocks done--

this one is my own design--the pail and the shells--










Quilt doodles block was a house--
These 2 blocks are for In my garden-bom--
did not like the busy one, so made a second one with the yellow and black--

and I have begun to design applique dresses for the 'color' of the month--
so I also redid the 2 paper pieced ones and did them as applique--
this months color is purple with yellow--
