It's Wednesday and I am gearing up for a retreat with the Bumblin' Bees in Huntsville. The weather  for this weekend will be miserable but I'll be stitching so won't care. I'm planning on doing applique prep as well as some stitching on Urban Owls. The center block has wool flowers so I will applique then add embroidery stitches. The  embroidery really brings the wool to life.

The ladies of Let It Bee started Millie Stars this month. Three of the ladies are newcomers to EPP so I am doing a little teaching to get them started. We have selected the fabric which is the most difficult part with this kind of design. But have to do this each month.

I have the quilt star done and the applique blo...
