The Year of the Bee

This year I participated in 2 bees for myself and one with Sarah.  I really like the satisfaction of finishing these mini projects each month.  Even when I don't churn out a full-sized anything, I still feel accomplished =)

Stash Bee, Round 2
This year there were so many varied blocks!  I got my Random Bamboo blocks put together in March, but am just getting around to having it quilted.  It will be the first time I send something out to be long-arm quilted.  I'm really excited =)

3 in January (Random Bamboo), 2 in February (Polaroids), 2 in March (Simply Woven), 2 in April (Fractured), 2 in May (Road to Tennessee), 1 in June (Fire-inspired), 1 in July (Butterflies), 1in August (Warm/Cool Strips), 1 in September (Flying Geese) and 1 in October (Fractured Chevrons)

NewBees, Round 3
I started this with a friend who moved away many years ago.  This is my first go-round with her and we only started in July.  I try to do two blocks each month for this group.  I had December off.

Primary Bee (with Sarah)
I'm glad that we had the opportunity to work on this together.  I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it more than she did (especially towards the end), but she was a trooper and finished what she started.  I have a feeling that it will take us quite a while to get her to finish her top ...
