Friends, I love the start of a new year. I always feel like there's promise looming ahead--the idea that I could have 365(ish) days to make a difference, change my life, become a better person...and it doesn't hurt that so many fun things start on January 1st!
Cue: The Honey Pot Bee. This is a totally non-stress quilting "bee" that is open to anyone, and as it's hosted by the fabulous Molli Sparkles, you know it's going to be a fun--dare I say, sparkly?--time.
Here are the quick details: every month, January through December, two peeps will choose a block. The participants will make one or both out of their own fabrics for themselves. At the end of the year, they'll have 24(ish) blocks for a super fun quilt. There's no shipping, no requirements, no fuss. If you get behind, there's no pressure. For a girl that just had a baby, it's like the dream bee.
And if that doesn't sell you, here's the list of twelve super fab quilters who will be serving as queen bees:
January – Angie – http://gnomeangel.com
February – Adrianne – http://onthewindyside.co.nz
March – Amy – http://www.13spools.com
April – Audrey – http://hotpinkquilts.blogspot.com.au
May – Julie – http://intrepidthread.com
June – Alyce – http://blossomheartquilts.com

September – Sarah – http://www.nohatsinthehouse.com
October – Kelly – http://jeliquilts.blogspot.com.au
November – Kristy – http://quietplay.blogspot.com.au

And we'll be joined with another twelve awesome, TBA quilters, woo! (Why yes, that is my name scheduled for April, and I am all sorts of excited.) Will you join me?
Say yes!
Yes! I'm definitely looking forward to such a low key experience next year. I think I have a block design I want to share for December. I reserve the right to change my mind a lot between now and then, though!
ReplyDeleteAfter this year, I am all for 2017 being no fuss, low key, and full of balance!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Look forward to seeing your block in April.
