1) Officially a work in progress. "Another Star" is coming along just fine and I am using a variety of Kaffe Fassett and Martha Negley florals with a few little other pretties. I seem to be making the stars in pairs so as I have more blocks, the variety of florals will increase and be less matchy matchy looking. This is fun and I think would lend very nicely to scraps too.
2) I finished this little needlebook last Friday so that is off the list and ready to be a door prize at quilt guild.
3) Being away all weekend, I was separated from my sewing machine. This trauma was made up for by being able to spend all that lovely time with Daughter and her Special Someone. I did however make dishcloths like a crazy old knitting lady.
4) And I have been putting together a Halloween goodie bag for a quilt guild swap on Thursday. Seriously fun. What do we have there besides chocolate? Hmmm. Some Halloween buttons. So wonderful black and white twine on a wooden spool. 2 Ghastlies fat quarters and a pack of napkins that say "broom rides 50 cents." I added a chunk of Kona Kumquat as an extra just a minute ago and then I have to stuff it all into the Halloween bucket. Too much fun!
5) My Proverbial quilt has not had any attention this week. It must be getting lonely.
Linking up with Lee for Work in Progress Wednesday! and the Needle and Thread Network for Canadian bloggers.
Such pretty floral stars, and I love the Mendecino needle book, lucky person who wins it!
ReplyDeleteThe stars are sooo pretty!! I can't wait to see the quilt, it'll be gorgeous! And oooooh I hope I get your swappy goodies- I sent mine in with Lysa to swap for me- fingers crossed!! :D
ReplyDeleteLove the stars - so vibrant! Yummy goodies too :)
ReplyDeleteYour stars give off so much energy and sparkle - they are wonderful. That is going to be one amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteI fear those stars have to go onto my must-make-soon list. The dish cloths are great to knit on car rides and in waiting rooms, they make nice little gifts....
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you used for the stars! They are so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteI love the another star blocks! What a managable way to approach using scraps to get variety, but in a way that does not make your sewing spot look like a tornado hit it!
ReplyDeleteI do love those stars! Kaffe is kool!
