I Won the Tree Blocks!

A couple of weeks ago my quilting bee

(the Out to Lunch Bunch)

 met at Shirley's house. 

Remember the African Masks blocks?

Those were won by Judy.

Well the next block we chose to do was

a tree block.

We decided we could do

any kind we wanted,

using any technique we wanted.

My name was drawn to win them all.

WhooHoo!

We have a very small group,

but the following photos

show the 12 inch blocks that I won.

This block was done by Brenda.

She used some of her hand dyed fabrics in the sky

and middle section.

The bottom section is pieced,

in angular shapes.

I just love the sky,

 and the entire piece is very unique and artsy!

Love it!

This one was done by Joyce,

who says she is not an artist.

She is mainly a traditional quilter.

Here she took some of  her rusted/acrylic washed muslin,

that we did at Shirley's,

and added a tree using crayons.

I think she is quite the artist! Don't you!

Judy made this more traditional block.

It is lovely, and actually she made 2,

so I will surely do something with those.

Shirley made this bleach discharged piece.

She put hand stitching around the tree.

Shirley is famous for her petroglyph pieces like this.

Just wonderful!

And this one was mine. 

You may recognize this.

It started out as my

"blue moon"

piece.

As I was working on it,

the black fabric tore.

But never fear,

not all is lost!

I never throw anything away!

I cut it down, eliminating the torn section,

and had my 12 inch tree block

for the group drawing.

So, you can see how different each block is.

I probably won't put  ALL  of these together

 in  ONE finished piece.

But I think I will have some interesting

work ahead of me.

Thanks Ladies! 

I was thrilled to win all of these!

Next month is "wildflowers"....

Savor the Day!
