I had quite the adventure digging through my stash looking for 6 strips of solid fabric within the same color family at least 12.5 inches long. I kind of cheated and added in one white strip to embroider a bit of text, but it was the best I could do.
Henny asked for one word to be embroidered that reflected the colors of your strip as well as the quilting community. I chose "hope" as you guys are always giving me hope that I will finish my monster quilts or that my birds nests will eventually leave my quilting.
In other bee news, I have joined two new bees! Eeek! I am already in three bees, but one will be closing this summer and the Sew & Bee Happy bee only asks for 1 block a month. Maybe I'm nuts to take on two more. I will give it my best. I have joined the Modern Quilt Guild bee starting in July AND the Modern Stitching Bee which will kick off in August. I can't wait to dive into them! They are filled with SUPER cool ladies who will be great fun to stitch with.

Ha! And I thought I was mad to now be in three bees. You make me look like a slacker.
I'm in five bees now - may be overdoing it! But I think I will be learning lots!
Good for you Cindy! Bit scared by the Modern Stitches one!

I am in one bee and terrified! You, Nicky, and Susan are killing me!
I am excited to be in a bee with you and all the other wonderful folks in it. I love your blue block!
Well, I for one am dead chuffed you're in the Modern Stitches bee :-) Its going to be great fun x
Good luck with all those Bees - 2 and Bee Blessed are more than enough for me xxx
Well done for joining two more!I suppose it is really only one more, as one of the others is going, but it is plenty!
I love the blues you have produced there. Very calm. And joyful. Hope looks right.
Your blue block is lovely - I`m in a bee which makes blocks from the book Modern Blocks and it`s fun although I screwed up today!! I need to get out of bees, not in to them!
Oooh, love the effect of this! I'm getting out of 2 shortly, and have 2 ongoing, but I don't think I'll be adding more...
That block is just beautiful. Love the clear and "simple" design!
The block is great!
Good luck in the two new bees =D
