Today, let me report on the Partnership quilts. You can read what these quilts are here.
The theme this year was 'Sweet', and could be interpreted as either cute and pretty, or a delicious snack.
For my own block I had selected the traditional Swedish peppermint flavoured candy stick known as 'polkagris'. This is what a real one looks like
and this is my fabric version, in sweet company.
Julie of My Quilt Diary made her sweet humming bird have a drink of sweet nectar. Please note the tiny appliquéd wings.
Tanya of By Taniwa had her sweet bumble bees flock around the sweet honey in the hexagon honeycombs.
People knelt down to read the text on the sweet dandelion block by Kippy SoMature.
Here is a handful of other blocks
Felted whipped cream!
or at least a cake topped with fresh fruit, even the ants have sweet teeth...
Next I'll report on a floral feast, until then, sweet dreams and sweet sewing.

wonderful eye candy. Thanks for sharing
So many clever ideas, I love it, thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed it very much - and loved to see your Swedish flag. Beautiful blocks made with much love for thwe details.
oh so wonderful! I do hope to join you next year! thank you Queenie! I am so excited to see everyone's blocks too!!!
Looks like you all had fun with all that sweetness
OK "sister" Carin, you and Tanya have done an excellent job of the partnership quilts. It was fun to go back for a second look when the crowds thinned out a bit. I am always amazed at the details you manage to present. If I dilly-dally long enough, you two will cover it all.
Yes, SWEET eye CANDY, eh?
There are 70 quilts with 120 blocks each, so you can understand there are thousands of ideas for these blocks!
Tanya, Julie and I concluded that these quilts are perfect topics for conversation - so much to discover in each one.
Yes, and not one single calorie!
I thought the Partnership quilts were extra interesting this time as people had interpreted the theme as either 'pretty' or 'yummy'.
Now I have to bury my nose in a dictionary and get down to the task of interpreting the kanji writing on the labels so I can give credit to the quilters in Roman letters!! I might dilli-dally a lot!
Yum, yum, delicious.
Oh, wow. This Partnership quilt is fantastic! You and your friends made lovely 'sweet' blocks. I cannot imagine how much time must have gone into the hand quilting on this beauty. Thank you so much for sharing!
We mustn't forget to brush our teeth after gobbling up all these sweets. What to do with the mountain of calories? Climb a mountain?
Please note, Partnership quiltS. There were in total, 69 of them. It is so popular to send in these 20x20 cm blocks that almost 70 quilts can be made (there are 120 blocks in each quilt). One volunteer per quilt does the hand quilting. Much time is needed, that's for sure.
I love this and can't wait to see more from the show!!
Hi Queenie, just loving all the sweet Eye candy ! We live in such a beautiful world full of very clever and creative people......You being one of them..........Thank you for sharing .

It's great to these interpretations of the theme, thanks for sharing! I'm sorry I didn't submit a block, maybe I can make time this year.
Thank you for posting these and showing my little block!
More to come, I promise!
Oh, I just wish I was clever and creative enough to enter a large quilt. However, only the top of the cream can enter, after strict judging. The partnership block are all accepted though.
Oh, please do!
My pleasure, but I would have enjoyed it even more if you had been there with me.
Thanks for these posts they are great.
