Lara requested stars and whirling things. I used two 12.5″ patterns from quilters cache. I have made the star before as part of my joint quilt with Sheridan.

I have been working extremely hard at the sewing table to get this quilt done.
I have fabric and supplies sitting in the wings for a few quilts that I am dying to start. But I have been quite strict on myself to finish some WIPs first.

Last month I made a Jumper – pattern and wool by Jo Sharp.
It is really daggy, comfy and warm. I love it. I hadn’t blogged about it because I was going to take some better photos. This was taken about a minute after I finished sewing the ends in, over my pjs.

Another time consumer for me recently was redecorating my bedroom. I made sure that I did it before my hubby came home a) as a surprise and b) it gave me full control of how much I spent and what I did.
It didn’t take much to make it look good.
a new coast of paint on [...]

I wasn’t going to do anything else tonight until I finished mailout 3 for Chaletgirls block party. OK, so it is only 9pm, but it is almost my bedtime …. and I am finding it hard to tear myself away from my new Lee Child novel – Gone Tomorrow.
I had lots of fun this [...]

I have been stalking Kim Bradley trying to do one of her classes. Luckly I managed to get into a free motion workshop at Patches of Indoorpilly.
