Well here it is - this year's design for Gathering Fabric Quilt Shop reflects all the local wineries, some within walking distance of the quilt shop. This year they asked for a wine themed block, and while my first design was an applique block, they said that they had had many requests to have a pieced block. This one will be distributed with one template, rotary cutting and piecing instructions. If you live in Western Washington, or will be here visiting during June 20-24th, you should check out our shop hop. We have LOTS of quilt shops here, and each one you visit will provide you with an 8" block pattern, and some fabric to get you started making it. You can find the information at
www.gatheringfabric.com, just look for the shop hop link on the left of the homepage.
Since we had to send 2 to be included in the shop hop quilts, I made 4 blocks. Three of the blocks have a butterfly print fabric, fussy cut for the bees wings, while the 4th has Fairy Frost wings, although everything else is the same. There is a little bit of hand stitching to enhance the design, while keeping the applique as simple as possible, and a couple beads for the bee's eyes.
