You know that paralyzed feeling you get when there's so much to do and you don't know where to start?
I'm having one of those weeks... I have lots of projects in the works but I've spent most of this week staring at them. So instead of letting you stare along with me, I thought I'd show you a really fun bee block.
Rachel of Stitched in Color was the designer/quilter for the month of November in our charity bee, do. Good Stitches. {my absolute favorite bee, BTW}. She had the genius idea of embroidering linen blocks, sending them out to us assigning color themes to each stitcher. I got orange and I was thrilled about that because I'm loving orange these days.
Her embroidery is amazing! I can't embroider at all so I'm always impressed with you ladies who can.
I kept my block fairly simple. This is for a baby quilt but I love the bicycle print because I know this quilt will be cherished well into childhood. I pieced it improv style but kept it square so the embroidery really stands out. I'm pleased... :)
I can't wait to see the finished quilt! Rachel is so talented and I know this quilt will be beautiful and will be a blessing to a young mom.

I love these blocks! It reminds me of a little embroidered pillowcase my grandmother made for me when I was a baby...so precious! I know the mother that receives this will love it!
Jennifer, you are so sweet. I'm blushing. But, really, I love your block. Great fabrics and composition. That kitty block was one of my favorites to make. I'm glad you enjoyed playing with it =)
boy do i know that feeling...that is why nothing is getting done around here!
What a pretty block! I love the colors and those lil bicycles randomly thrown in!
How adorable! I love the embroidered center!
I love orange too! It's beautiful.
I hope you're able to get to some of thing things on your todo list! Thinking of you as I work on mine!
