Quilt Bee

Last evening was my time to host our quilt bee. The show and tell was fabulous. Linda made these first 2 tops. They are the same pattern, but each is made with a different set of fabrics.
They are stunnng.

Marcia and Bonnie purchased the same charm pack last February with the challenge that each had to make a quilt by this February. They unvailed their projects last evening. Again, same fabrics, very different results.

Lyn has Edyta Sitar's quilt "Dresden Star" done except for borders. At our quilting bee weekend she got all of this together. It was a quilt I had planned to work on too. She is way farther along then I am. Good Job. It looks so fabulous.



This is another quilt Lyn is finishing up. She just got it back from being quilted. She is is putting on the binding. The batiks are wonderful.


This is another quilt Lyn is finishing up. It is a wedding gift to be given soon. The shades of green with the black and white fabrics is stunning.
Our quilt bee meets once a month at one of our houses. We like to get together to share ideas, and we have show and tell, and of course to catchup on what is going on in our lives. We like to plan road trips to shows and of course shops. We also love to eat. Lyn can always find the great restaurants when we are on the road. We all look forward to our times together.

Mary - Sounds like you all had fun and I love the quilts!! It always amazes me that the same pattern can be so different with the different choice in fabrics!! And to see the two quilts made with the same charm pack and yet being so different is just great!!! Thanks for sharing!! Kris
