productivity.

i was super productive this week.  

i made my first texas star... just for fun.

those y seams that were intimidating me were, 

NO BIG DEAL!

they were no match for my superior sewing skills.

i already showed you this little porker... but he was made this week.

  i got this in the bee a {modern} swapper swap.

 from sew.whitney

i love the pouch.  it is huge!  and the extras are awesome!  scissors and pins!  love it.

 i started and finished my February blocks for the wonky bee, yes i started them on leap day and finished them on the 1st... they are going in the mail today...  it was melissas month.  she gave us free reign on what to make but just asked for red, aqua and was going for a wall quilt that somewhat resembled this

and this is what she got from me.  i took the pictures last night so the coloring is a little off.  i used american jane fabrics and as i reallly love the star i wish i would have added another color or two into the block just for variety.  i used this pattern/template and paper pieced it.  it was really fun.

 and then i made this little guy.  i wanted to make something a little crazy, a little fun... success!  that one side is a little big but i think it just adds to the crazy.  

i really don't think they could be more different!

 and... i have done a bit more stitching.  it is coming along.

so, all in all.  a pretty productive week.

and i am trying to hold onto my productive bone.

i am planning on making one of these pillows this weekend.

and a couple of these...

can't wait to use my serger to make 4 of these with this new fabric. 

going to machine bind this.
