Monday Morning Star Count

 Today is the end of a long weekend here.  My friend is still in town, and we spent yesterday hanging out in the sewing pit reading magazines and plotting our next moves.  I was able to give her a ruler bag that I managed to finish this week, and that left not much time for hand sewing.

I sat down when all was quiet and put together another star, this time with the solid white pieces around the sides to make a hexie.

When I started this project, I was getting ready to leave on holiday, and I bought a couple of mini-charm packs and got busy basting.  I've noticed now that I've done some properly shaped cuts on the white solid that the mini-charms are a bit more difficult to work with.  The pinked edges make the points just a little sketchy to join.

If you're in a bind, then the mini-charms can work so that you can get started right away, but for ease in joining, you can't beat pieces that you've cut yourself.

Also pictured is some homemade cab, a homemade tablerunner and my trusty tablet.  I think I was in a red mood.

Also, check out my pin cushion!  Makes me snicker every time, and takes up very little real estate in my EPP box.
