It’s Stitchin’ Time (Friday Foto Fun #15)

Happy Friday! Happy Embroidery! I joined the Cozy Blue Stitch club after trying one of their embroidery kits in December! I was able to do some stitching this week when I was recovering from being sick. It was actually a lot of stitching.

I finished off this month's stitch club and I LOVE this design! "Show Up, Be True, Be Kind, Keep Going" I think this stitch club has gotten me in the mood to learn more embroidery stitches, and it’s a great portable project for all my trips for work.

I am also in 2 different Bee Hives this year. A hive consists of 12 different quilters that all take turns being Queen. The month you are Queen, you pick out a block and everyone in the hive sends you that block. It's pretty neat because I am Queen in April for both of my hives! My plan is to have the same block made for me in both hives so I can make a much bigger quilt with fewer blocks I will personally have to make! Here are the blocks I made for the January Queens of the 2 hives I belong to.

  

Both of those were try #2s of making the block. Things I have learned are:

What are some of your favorite blocks for bee hives to make?  I still haven't figured out which block I'm going to request!

I am going to be off on business trips for the next few weeks, so you'll hopefully see more embroidery projects that I'll be working on and all the quilty goodness I can shove into the weekends when I'm home.
