The QB5 Sampler Revealed!

They arrived!

I was in a stitching round robin with the "so-called" Queen Bee Five (QB5)...

The rotation on mine was...

I mailed to Margaret and she worked on it.

Then it went to Carole.

Then it went to Patty

and then to Nathalie to finish it up.

On Wednesday we had a timetable set for opening!

We all opened at the very same time!!

For Patty that was 2 p.m.

For Nathalie and I it was 1 p.m.

For Margaret it was 8 p.m.

And for dear Carole it was THURSDAY at 7 a.m.

Here are some close-ups....

above was done by Carole!

Don't you love the the little music notes!!! Just stitched!

The bird is fabric cut in the shape and applied...

And she dyed the doilies green to be the leaves in the tree she added!

Below you can see the initials in the tree trunk!

(me and my sweetie)

The bee was added by Patty on the rose...

The words were done by Nathalie.... she does great stitched words...

and a little crown!!

Margaret did the banner! I think she knows I really have a "thing" for banners!

Surely she knew that?

I love it!

I don't know who added the flower?

Who did that?

Below is some net and greenery from a lady's vintage hat!!!

Done by Patty..... of course!

And she did the row of felted hearts!

Love it!

Here is a close-up of part of my fence that I started my piece with... it's pretty primitive.

I stitched on an old napkin that belonged to my mother-in-law....

I sent another one of those napkins out on a different stitching round robin with 10 women....

I'll show you that one soon.... I need to add a tiny bit to it now that this companion piece is home.

Don't you love this new world we live in where we have friends around the world that share our common interests! I was a penpal growing up, but that took weeks or months to hear from people.

I love this time we are living in!
