Paper piecing and a Bee Block

The weather has finally turned around here in

Seattle so I've been a bit remiss in my blog posts. I started designing the block I'll make for the Cocorico Bee. Theme is "Kitchen Couture".

Lauree wanted kitchen themed items you would find on shelves. I love my french press (we use it every morning) so I thought I would do a French theme.

Go Here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/cocorico/ and see the incredible blocks that are starting to trickle in.

These are the pics I'm using for inspiration.

I finished one of the blocks for the 4 x 5 bee I belong to. I found the pattern on Ebay - it is an Alice Brook's vintage mail order pattern. I think it would work nicely as a whole quilt.

Enjoy your summer and Happy Sewing
