I had fun completing month two of Two's Company Quilt Bee.
Amanda chose the maverick star for her block. I had not made one before but Amanda had directed us to a great tutorial, so no problem.
Hope you like it Amanda:

I finished block three of Applique 101 from Clover and Violet. Block Five just came out, so I'm a little behind, but still moving:

And taking up the rest of my time are curtains (which you will not see) and
THIS:
My daughter is going to Germany for Oktoberfest a I agreed to make a Dirndl for her. The translation of the Burda pattern leave a lot to the imagination.
Here are the fabrics she chose:
It's coming along quite well and the only problem is getting together for a fitting. She only lives 45 miles away now rather than the 1500 miles away she lived for the past six years.

You'll find me here tomorrow - please check it out, it will be worth your while!!
In real life - I'll be leaving in the A.M. and spending a long weekend in D.C.

Gotta love that aqua....love your blocks
Great choice of fabrics. Love the embroidery and I really do like that star.
Lovely projects Mary :-) Enjoy your time in DC!
Oh my...I am planning on going to Octoberfest too. I wonder if I should be as industrious as you and make a dress.
I love the block you made for Amanda (?). The fabrics are so "happy".
Aren't the maverick stars fun? I would love a whole quilt of them... bright and scrappy. Scrappy is not me but I think it fits the block. So I'm collecting. It's what I do best. LOL! Your block looks great in the red and aqua. Your embroidery block is really cute too.
Love the bee blocks! And the Dirndl looks like fun! I used to work for a Husqvarna dealer and we carried Burda...not easy to follow. And as I remember the seam allowance is not added into the pattern? The fabric looks fun too! Will certainly visit you tomorrow, but visiting DC sounds like even more fun!
Love the blocks especially the Aqua colour...I still have so many old Burda books going back to 1970...Loved them great patterns, great fit, though not easy to follow at times.

AWESOME Star!!!
Great job on the blocks!
Love your block! I can't wait to do mine. I just haven't had time. Need to go through my fabrics and see what to add to it. Loving what you're working on otherwise, too.
oh your blocks are just beautiful! Love aqua and red!!
Fabulous star!!!
Your embroidery block is adorable.

Mary, if you haven't used Burda patterns before, be sure to look up the size chart online -- Size 36 does not mean a 36" bust! Can't wait to see photos of your dirndl.
Cute Bee block and your appliqued block is beautiful! Can't wait to see photos of the dirndl.

just seen your drunkards' path tutorial on stash mamicure. Whenever I see the DP blocks I think how effective they are in any layout.
Having seen your name pop up on my favorite quilting blogs, I finally came over at the invitation of Stash Manicure. Why have I waited so long? I love following along with bees, love the projects at the top of your blog and your use of color. So now I am a follower!

I read your Drunkards Path tute on Stash Manicure, and agree that the GO! cutter is so easy to use to make these blocks. I have quite a few of the larger block runners made, with different layouts and fabrics, and each one was easy. Love the GO! Thanks for the tute!Cute runner.

I am following you and wanted to say how much I like the embroidery in the quilt blocks.
As i started reading your Drunkereds path tutorial on Stash Manicure I wasn't sure how all the solid Colors would look in the runner. Yes I was very pleasantly surprised to see the finished product, fanastic job.
luv the wonky star....great combination of colors...a little lime with aqua and red. Great tutorial at Sew We Quilt!!
I am now a loyal follower.
Love the German dress. It is a good thing it is cooler in Germany than VA Bch.,
