Hi everyone! I am so excited to be the Queen Bee for the month of May and have chosen a block I think is very cute and very easy to make.
Name, etc: I’m Bri, and I live in central Oklahoma in a rural area with my husband, daughter, and two silly dogs who keep us smiling. Barlie is a black pug and Hampton is a boxer/mastiff mix.
Hardest quilt thing you ever made? I tend to steer clear of hard things; however, I have been making some of the Farmer’s Wife blocks with a swap group on the About.com quilt forum. So far, the blocks I have done haven’t been too hard but I know I’m going to get there. I am kind of looking forward to the challenge… LOL…
Favorite dessert food? I love CHOCOLATE! By itself, with caramel, with nuts, with whipped cream….anything chocolate…yummmmmy.
Last time you laughed really hard and what was so funny? My daughter and I love looking at dog pictures on the Internet – Pinterest, blogs, etc. There are some great ones – dog shaming, dogs wearing clothes, just adorable and sooooo funny!
Day job? I work in IT, and that’s all I have to say about that. The quilting is so much more fun to talk about…
Do you remember the first thing you ever sewed? I can remember an embroidery project. I think I was 9 or 10 because we had just moved from the city to the country. I also remember reading the Little House on the Prairie books in 4th grade and our teacher having us sew together little 9 patches….that’s my favorite childhood sewing memory….
Life philosophy? I had to write a mission statement in a college class a few years ago, and it boiled down to ‘Inspire Optimism’. I believe everyone is capable of anything they set their mind to. Sometimes, they just need to be reminded…
The block I chose for this month is super cute. I first made it a few years ago in an Oklahoma City Modern Quilt Guild Bee.
You can find the tutorial for the Asterisk block here on the Selvage Blog.
I would like the block(s) made in USA patriotic colors – red, white and blue. The fabrics can have other colors in them if that’s all you have in your stash, I would just like for them to read ‘red or blue’, but I won’t turn anything away. J Please use Kona White for the asterisk. The blocks end up 6” unfinished. Make as few or as many as you like. Thank you!!!!
Bri
ready to do this!
