Happy Wednesday!  Did you have a productive week?  I guess I did, though I'm not really sure the definition of productive anymore.  I made quite a few bee blocks, and some I haven't even taken photos of yet!  I also finished my pillow case carried over from my box of projects last week, but alas I'll have to share photos of it another time also.  Be on the lookout for it though, it is pretty funky!

My first bee block is for the Christmas Fabric Bee, it's for "Julie @ DistantPickles."  She requested a non-wonky house.  Easy enough, I don't think this guy is wonky at all, though I will admit the "smoke" coming out of the chimney, doesn't resemble smoke as much as it looks like an alien is trying to beam someone out of the house!

I finished up my 10 depression blocks for the Scrapbuster Swap, all those hst were fun and I didn't have that much trouble lining up all those points as I thought I might!  Though I do find they all look very similar.....
"Kreated by Kari" is running that group swap and as a Thank you for all her hard work putting the thing together and shipping so many packages, I made for her a Mod Tree Block to go with a quilt that she is currently making.  I created something totally against the grain for me, and was really pleased with the way it turned out, I think it is Mod for sure!  You can see the photos of the block below!

Here's hoping you had a productive week, no matter how you define productivity!

oh, I especially like your 10 scrapbuster swap blocks!! The HST isn't really my fav, but daughter & I DID just sign up for a class yesterday at the local quilt shop (her birthday gift from me - "together" time quilting - what could be better?!)....It's a class on HST by sewkatiedid. Anyway, sounds like you have been plenty productive!

I love your scrap buster blocks. I'm in that bee too and I'm a little over half way done with my last five blocks.

That house blog is just fabulous! I love it! I need to make a house block for one of my bees this month, so it's wonderful inspiration for me. The trees are super cute too! Thanks for linking up to WIP Wednesday. : )
