Everyone starts with a starter block and on January 27th we were to send our starter group to the next person to work on. Mine went to Susan and she will be working on it in February, while I’ll be working about hers. My quilt was about honey bees.

A wandering quilt – mine, the honey bee quilt

This month I start a journey with a new traveling quilt group called Wandering Quilt. I have done a traveling quilt group before in 2015 and received an incredible quilt that I never posted about. Maybe I should post that soon. Here is a pic of that quilt in case you are interested. That project really tested my skills. Our group had some incredibly talented women and I doubt I measured up, but I was honored to be a part of their group. Just in case you are not familiar with traveling quilts here is the idea: Each member...
