8 new floral stars...........







I found out my old computer in the basement, which I only used for embroidery designs, will still recognize my camera.  I tried taking photos with my smartphone but when I emailed them to myself they were dull and dark even though they looked great on the phone.  So on to yesterday's sewing: these 8 are the newest blocks.


I have 24 blocks now which would be 48" x 72" (close to my chosen size to make, 50" x 70").  I have 6 more blocks ready to sew which would then be 60" x 72".  I have 5 more that just need a few more dark triangles and that would be 60" x 84".  I need to move some blocks around, this is just in the order that I sewed them.  I'll probably sew all of the star blocks and make the decision on size later.  I could always use the extras on the back, or make table runners.

It might get above freezing today but then a cold front is coming in at the end of the day and we might have single digit temperature Thursday morning.  Sunday sounds good, in the 40s.

I like the garden gate star :) We are supposed to get a couple of inches of snow tonight into tomorrow with some strong winds. I’ll believe it when I see it.

Your floral stars are so pretty! Especially when the weather is changing to winter. We've had below freezing nights for several days now - but it is supposed to warm up and rain by early week. Sheesh - I wish it would go one way or the other for the sake of our sinuses.

I dislike problems with my phone and computer I never quite know how to take care of them.

A few weeks ago I pitched the Sony digital camera that I got in 2008. I use my phone and iPad now.......How nice to have a flowerbed that doesn't need weeding!

Each one of your star blocks is a standout alone. All together they are breath taking….. You always can see the beauty in combining fabrics.
