Monday Morning Star Count (Tuesday Afternoon Edition)

We had some fun on the coast this weekend and just rolled in a bit ago.  No cellphone service, no internet...just family and good food and a little sewing here and there.

I worked on a project with a jelly roll called Science Fair here and I have all of the print hexies done.  Love it so far!  I just have to figure out what to do for the background.

I fit in some EPP on the deck.  Lovely weather for a little coastal quilting and piecing.  The best opportunity for hand-sewing came in the ferry line-ups though. 

I finished 3 stars, and I think I found my groove, so things should move along a bit faster now.  I'm still not sure what these pieced stars will become - table runner, quilt, wall hanging, and I don't even think I know how I will lay them out, but they sure are sweet to make.

My friend and her family are coming in to town to stay with us for a week or so starting on Friday!  Yeah!  My oldest and dearest sewing pal and one of my very oldest and dearest pals at all.  We met in grade one, and have been making fun everywhere we go ever since.

If I can sew and talk at the same time, I think my goal for the week will be 4 completed stars, and 20 basted background diamonds.

  2. I love that you used the ferry line up time to work on your project! It's so portable, you can work on it anywhere. Your diamonds and stars are looking great.
