Somehow, this year, I found myself Queen Bee for both bees I’m in (Modern Irish Bee and Stash Bee Hive #3). Same thing happened last year for Global Scrap Bee and Stash Bee hive#10! Still it meant while I was working on deadlines in January, my lovely hive mates were making for me! It has been so much fun getting blocks in the post and no guilt at internet spending!
For Modern Irish Bee, I asked for House blocks, any method, any colours but with a blue sky. I love how colourful they are and am so looking forward to putting this one together.
For Stash Bee, I robbed 2 ideas I saw from last years bees. Tomomi asked us for bookshelf blocks for Modern Irish Bee using our fabric to create a themed collection and in Stash Bee last year Karen for Hive #11 chose a bookshelf block with a fussy cut ornament on the bookshelf.
In my request this year I asked for blocks combining both ideas and they have been arriving from all over in the last few weeks. I even got some spare strips to make a craft section! I’m loving them all, thank you so much ladies for all your hard work!

Both sets of blocks from your bees are so fun, Ruth! It must be a pretty fun month to go pick up your mail. I would be super thankful for all the blocks, too. :)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are awesome. Can't wait to see how you put them all together.
ReplyDeleteHi Ruth! These are both fantastic projects! and both my favourites - any kind of houses and bookself! Have fun with your cute blocks! x Teje
ReplyDeleteThose houses are great. It will be so much fun putting them together. I like the bookshelf blocks as well.
ReplyDeleteOh your book shelves are lovely! Mines are nearly all with me and love to put them together asap!
ReplyDeleteOh both of those quilts are going to be so so cute. It is good to be queen and being a double queen must be even better!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great collection of wonderful blocks Ruth! I love the added touches of whimsy on the books and those house blocks are awesome!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these blocks are so creative and unique. Love that.
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky queen! Love both of those block ideas. The houses are so pretty and such a fun variety. And those bookshelf blocks are so cute, too!
ReplyDeleteI particularly liked how so many of your bookshelves had different themes. Nautical, nature, cart and science – I didn't spot an overlap at all!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, these are such fantastic blocks. The quilts are going to look great :-)
