I'm not sure when I did a WIP last, but it seems about time!
Sewing hasn't been a big priority, but I've gotten busy to finish some bee blocks that are due this month.
The June block for our Happiness circle @ dgs was chosen by Marika.
We used the tutorial from Greenleaf Goods
with sherbet colours. It's a combination of HST's and log cabin.
I just might re-do the layout for the one on the right-not sure if I like it or not!
Our June block for Simply Solids : a modern {bee} was a real challenge for me.
The block is called Katherine Wheel and the tutorial came from Lawson and Lotti
and is was chosen by Anne Marie.
Fun to do, and a bit scary!
Anne Marie provided the background fabric and the red fabric.
My biggest project is the Marcelle Medallion.
I have worked on it, to the exclusion of almost everything else!
But, the top is finished, the back is pieced (hate that part), and it is basted and ready for some quilting!
I have absolutely no idea how I will quilt this, but I think I need to do some investigating on quilting patterns before I start.
In fact, all my goals for A Lovely Year of Finishes and FAL , have been epic failures.

I've also fallen miserable behind in the Lucky Stars BOM.
I did do the first project from Zakka Along 2.0 using the book
Patchwork, Please!
I made 2 hotpads which turned out really well.
Linking up this week with Lee @ Freshly Pieced
And Monika @ The Needle and Thread Network.
Have a great sewing week!

Beautiful bee blocks, Patti. I can't wait to see what you do with your Marcelle Medallion -- it looks fabulous!
It looks like you have a lot of things on the go. I don't like pieced backs either. Since I hand quilt, the less seams the better.
The Katherine Wheel block looks really intimidating, well done you!
Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with your Medallion quilt, it is a stunner.
Lovely work:) That Katherine Wheel is awesome...wow...very interesting.
Those potholders are fabulous!
you are busy!!! very nice
Your Marcelle Medallion looks exquisite. Can't wait to see more.
Great projects Patti. Can't wait to see some quilting progress on that medallion quilt!
Your Medallion looks amazing! Can't wait to see how you decide to quilt it. And those hotpads look super cute. Love them!
I've tried that Katherine wheel before and it ended up as a normal hexagon. I can't wait to see your finished medallion x
Great projects!
Lovely bee blocks and I can't wait to see the Medallion quilted :)
Great work. I love the colours you've used for the medallion quilt. Looking forward to seeing it quilted.
The Katherine Wheel block is gorgeous. I took a quick look at the tutorial from your link. It will be a while before I try it.
Oh my gosh, your Marcelle Medallion is amazing. I am very curious to see it quilted!
Trying to wrap my head around that Katherine Wheel block, just wonderful. And your Marcelle Medallion... stunning!
It looks like a very busy time for you. Lots of great blocks. I really like the effect created with the Katherine wheel block. Gorgeous!
I really love those hot pads! And after that 'katherine wheel' the hot pads would be a good stress relief!
