I am in therapy! Quilting therapy that is. One of our local quilt shops has started a group called Modern Quilt Therapy that meets once a month. There is a BOM available which is this 18" star block designed by Karen Gray. The original pattern is done in solids so I thought I would try my hand at making my first solid fabric quilt. My fabrics are done in similar colors as the original quilt. Yes, I am bad because I started something new but I just couldn't help myself.
Applique is great therapy too. The bee met a couple weeks ago. Here is what a few of the ladies are working on. Susan has finished her summertime runner done in wool.
Aren't these wool colors just gorgeous?!
With Passion,

HeeHee...I'm not the only one who is starting new projects. I love yours. Those blocks are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your groups projects. So much talent. Hugs
I really like your new project. Everything else is just gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first laid eyes on your new project blocks, an unbidden "Ooh!" escaped my lips.
ReplyDeleteVERY yummy!!
Carrie, do you know what pattern Carolyn used for that wool quilt? I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteSometimes starting something new just gets the mojo going, giving you the extra push to work on those UFOs. Your new project looks fun! (Love those colors!)
ReplyDeleteYour friend's wool Hop to It blocks are just luscious.
My very first quilt was done in solids and have thought about making an applique one in solids....someday. Love the blocks you are making and the gals sure do make some yummy blocks!!

ReplyDeleteI need to sign up for some of this therapy! Lovely stuff.
ReplyDeleteWool is so gorgeous to work with. Enjoy therapy ; )
ReplyDeleteThis is therapy of the very best type! I love it all~
ReplyDeleteOther than hugging my dog I think sewing is the next best kind of therapy. I hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors in those new blocks! I can see it would be hard to resist :-)
ReplyDeleteI think a new project is a great reward for working so diligently on your ufo's.
ReplyDeletelove all that wool applique.
Oh, I really like those blocks designed by Karen Grey....and I can hardly believe those other blocks are in wool....they are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
