A new year...

A new blog. And I swear this is the last time I'm changing.

Promise. But sometimes you have to go on a few dates before you find just the right fit :)

Sew Bee It - Sample Block for January

It's my month in Sew Bee It! I thought about a few different ideas, but then I remembered this post and this quilt.

And now I want to do my own version!

Bee Members: Mail is going in the mail on 1/3/11. Please choose two words - FOUR LETTER HAPPY VERBS - and post your choices on Flickr.

  • The black & white fabric should be used for the lettering, on a white background. This section should measure 8x11 (unfinished) or 7.5x10.5 (finished).
  • Then, add a scrappy border out of the colored fabrics to bring the finished size to 12x15 (cut border scraps to 2.5'' high for this).
  • The gray polka dot fabric should be used with the colors - not with the blacks.
  • I was running short on the plain white, so please use wisely.
  • Send scraps back, please!

Here is a link to some great letter tutorials!

UPDATE: PLEASE, NO APPLIQUE - Thank you!
