Thinking About Spin Cycle

  Last year when it was my turn to host the

Bees Knees

Quilting Bee

I selected 

Spin Cycle

for my block.

I sent the fabric and pattern to everyone in the group.

 And little by little over the months

 the blocks trickled in.

 I needed 25 blocks total for the quilt

with 11 Bee's Knees helping out,

so I rummaged through my scrap piles

and finished up the extra blocks

here and there.

Then the blocks sat

(even though I love, love, love this quilt)

Now that it's time to begin another

Bees Knees year,

I figured I'd better get going and 

finish up last years project 

before starting on the the new.

One of the things I did with my blocks

was have each Bees Knee member 

sign their name

so I would have a remembrance of 

working together.

 Sherri McConnell (A Quilting Life)

and 

Amy Smart (Diary of A Quilter)

were our Queen Bee Leaders

and brought all of us together.

 There were some pretty talented lady's 

in our group.

Amy Ellis (Amy's Creative Side)

 Amy Webb (Amy Lou Who)

With 3 Amy's in the group

I was feeling a little left out that my name wasn't Amy, too.

It was soothing to know

that at least I was smart enough to name

daughter #2 Amy :)

 Shari Butler (Doohickey Designs)

made our cute logo and Bee Button

 Erica Bartlett (Pink Suede Shoes)

 Emily Herrick (Crazy Old Ladies)

 April Rosenthal (Prairie Grass Patterns)

 Calli Taylor (Make It Do)

There were also blocks from 

Trish Poolson (Notes of Sincerity)

and

Sinta Borland (Pink Pincushion)

but I'm having camera issues

and couldn't get a few pics to download

sorry ladies :( 

I appreciate your blocks too!

Hopefully in the next few days 

I will have my Spin Cycle Top all put together.

I really love this quilt!
