We Bee Modern Too

This month I was able to get a jump on my Bee blocks. It was Megan's turn in May and she chose the Mondrian block with pinks/purples/oranges/yellows and a hint of lime green. This was my interpretation of that:

I definitely was liking this block and I see more in my future

With the siggy block

Just to recap the bee blocks for We Bee Modern Too 

to date..

"Missing Your Kiss" for Kersten

"Boxed in" for Heather

"Lemons and Limes" for Caroline 

I'm up for June, so let's see how that goes :)

Joining a bee this year was a "resolution" of some kind and i'm so glad I did! If you've ever considered joining a bee but are unsure where to go

• theres a flickr group I'd definitely check out as there are many options and kinds of bees to join
• If you've never heard of it there is the do. good stitches bee which are quilts made for charities and they are constantly looking for quilters and stitchers.
• Lastly, if you want to create your own bee, read this which Rachel wrote (coincidentally by the creator of do.good stitches) which gives you the rundown on how to start your own bee, what kind, etc. etc.

Any questions, feel free to ask, i'll do my best to help!

 Enjoy your Tuesday everyone.

I finally determined a layout and got the quilt top pieced together this weekend! 

After spending an hour trying to do a random layout and constantly finding problems, I went with color order.. There were just too many yellow and greens to have a random enough layout.

I'm pleased with the result..

now.. how to quilt it!?

I also spent much of the weekend quilting the never-ending pile of

quilt tops I have, i'm pleased to say -- SUCCESS.

More on them, later this week :)

I'm linking up with Manic Monday, Sew What Monday, Canoe Ridge Creations

Applique Quilts

No Follower Friday this week :( We're lacking in volunteers. If anyone would like to volunteer please email me at knot.threads@gmail.com

So, instead of a feature I wanted to let you know about a contest. I decided to bite the bullet and put my work out there. I entered my Chincoteague quilt, a very personal quilt for my family and I to the Quilting Gallery - This week they were looking for appliqué work. All of the sea animals as well the lettering were done in appliqué.

So, if you have a chance head on over and check out my quilt

If you like it, i'd appreciate your vote
