New BOM (and my first ever)
 

i can't applique worth a hoot! ive only been sewing 3 years now and that's not exactly my strong suit. when my lqs decided to do a BOM i had to join in so i could find experience and solace in my new project. it is from The Quilt Company and it is called Garden Friends. There are 6 patterns and then i dont know what is next! thought i would share my first; it took me over a month to open the package to begin with, but after 2 days and countless seams that were unseamed, except for the handwork with embroidery thread, she is finished. what do you think?

You did a great job on this block. Hope you post the others as you finish.

Wow, I am impressed and jealous. This is your first time and it looks like this? It looks so good.I am jealous because you mastered up the courage to even try least of all accomplish the look of this. I have not yet,so maybe seeing your courage and have it turn out so lovely, I will give it a whirl,though not as complicated as yours. Thank you for sharing. I hope to see more of the other blocks in the future.

it's great. love those little bees

What a beautiful block. I googled the kit price which was $36.00. I've only taken one applique class and and was so discouraged I never tried again. Seeing your beautiful work has encouraged me to take another class and hope I will one day be as good as yours. :D

Very interesting.

Wonderful work!!!!
