Hello 2017 and a Peek Back at 2016!

1/3/2017

Hello All!  Happy New Year, hope you had a great one and a fantastic Christmas as well.  I am easing back into the world of blogging now that normal routines are resuming and hope to be better at it than I was last year.  So I may not always be wordy, but I do hope to share photos of works in progress and finishes and in the next few days I'll be helping to host a pretty big event, so stay tuned for that.

One of the most positive things that took place in 2016 for me was my second year participating in Bee Sewcial.  I am lucky enough to be in a bee with a bunch of great ladies and every single one of them produces creative work and prompts throughout the year.  You can see below I created a mosaic of all the blocks I created last year, January through November (we take August and December off.)  It is so nice to see them all in one place.  At least three of these sets have been turned into finished quilts and are living out there being enjoyed.

Our little group invites anyone interested to play along with us each month.  The prompts can be found on Instagram or on the Queen Bee's blog.  The easiest way to play along each month would be to search the hashtag #inspiredbyBeeSewcial on Instagram and you can find everyone and all the information there, but don't hesitate to contact me if you want to play along and are a little lost.  We work with solids only and create modern improv quilt blocks.  Our themes or prompts last year included, improv lines, circles, triangles, transitions and even bacon!  So if you would like to have some fun, try your hand at creative improv or just follow along, we would love to have you.  Here is to a creative 2017!

I've loved seeing the blocks of the members of this Bee in 2016 and I look forward to following along in 2017. I might not make the blocks, but I do enjoy thinking about the prompt and what I would do. :-)

Wow what a gorgeous collection of blocks. Everywhere I am turning at the moment I am seeing improv - I think the universe is sending me a message!!!
