My first two blocks are together and I am starting on the third block already. My blocks from here on out are going to contain changes to the original pattern. I think it is great fun to make a quilt very personal and a quilt with stitchery is easy to adapt. I am already excited to share my changes next month but patience as all things in good time.

My second block was done as the pattern showed but I did more ribbon daisies and made button flowers.
Isn't the bee sweet?"To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few."

Woohoo, I'm the first who can coment on your blog.
It's was another fun evening.
And the creativity is blooming!!
So I can't wait till this evening... I want to start with the third block, and with the 'schimmel van Sinterklaas' crosstitch. Did some teadipping aida already last night before I went to bed.
About the log cabins around the cross stitch is 1 inch or less/more???
That is so gently pretty. I love the colours that you are using.
Heidi that is absolutley deevine! I love the pattern and the colours you clever girl you. Will go have a look at the others later ,but just off to take Ollie out.
Wow. Beautiful work.
Love the colors you picked. Very relaxing and comforting.
I am planning to spend the day cleaning and putting stuff away. I am getting spring cleaning fever. We saw 65 yesterday and will see it again today.
Have a blessed day.
Too pretty! I love all the hand details, the buttons and all the flowers are gorgeous and fun too. I clicked on the pictures and I just love the way the little bee is flitting through the blocks. Your friendship/quilting group is wonderful...hugs, Linda
Wat was het weer mooi allemaal. Hoewel ik helemaal achter mijn kleurkeuze sta voelt het af en toe een beetje ongemakkelijk dat ik met mijn quilt zo uit de toon val bij die van jullie. Maar als ik hem hier naast me zie liggen wordt ik weer blij! Op naar blok 3.

How lovely! The button flowers are so pretty

Have a nice evening & hugs, Carolien
What a talented bunch of ladies are in your group! It was so fun to see all the different interpretations of the same pattern! You all must have a great time when you get together!
Heidi, I'm really enjoying seeing your progress on your blocks. I'm always so thrilled with the way your fabric choices work so well with the stitching. Just gorgeous!
Wow!! Beautiful work, love all that is being done, very pretty indeed.
Hugs!
Ohhhh, how gorgeous! And I LOVE the ED poem. I think that little poem is screaming to be stitched. Darn. So much inspiration, so little time!
This is lovely! The colours work so well together and it's going to be such a pretty piece.
I love the quilting you've been doing, Heidi! And those chocolate-dipped cookies sound good, too!
wow, tnat's just gorgeous! I love your choice of colours, and the personalisation is perfect
The colours you've chosen are beautiful - and I love the embellishments. Gorgeous work!
Your blocks are so beautiful. I just love the fabric you chose. I can't wait to see the next update. Have a great weekend!

Your quilt is just so lovely and the extra touches make it so sweet. I loved seeing all the blocks that your quilt group is making. They have all done a beautiful job and each is so original and unique. I especially love the bee and the button flowers on yours. Playing with buttons is so much fun and one of my favorite poems is about the family button box. It will be fun to see the progress all of you are making next month. :) Happy stitching!
Hugs from California!
Love what we get to see here!
Love those blocks Heidi - especially the colors! If you want company stitching With My Needle when you are ready let me know. Mine is kitted up and ready to start stitching but I too was holding off trying to work on some WIPS (but it is calling me...) It would be fun to share progress.
Your fabric choices are amazing and absolutely beautiful. Ann, Victoria, Australia
