My crafty time has definitely been limited this summer (I know I'm not alone!), but I did manage to make some progress this week, especially on some bee blocks.
Finished:
Star for Kati

I made this bee block for Kati using this pattern from EQuiltPatterns.com. It was definitely a challenge, but I'm happy with the way it turned out.
do. Good Stitches July block

Meg requested Cracker Scraps blocks using Angela's tutorial (a welcome change of pace from the paper-pieced star!)
House block

This house block is on its way to a new home too.
In progress
