Saturday Stars

Lisa has now left for New York: I consoled myself by moving lots of stuff back into her bedroom!!!!

I celebrated access to my sewing machine by pulling the Jenny Bayer charm pack and a Moda solid charm pack in cream.  This bundle has *nearly* been stitched into a variety of designs, but I finally split it into lights and darks rather than trying to use all. Working with the darks, I added wonky star sections to a quarter or so of the squares 

then started joining in strips of three to make parts of wonky stars:

All stitched, now waiting for the pressing and speed dating stage

At Crafty Church today we made stars for a Christmas tree we are entering into a Christmas Tree Festival in a few weeks time:

Lots of methods, including our craft of the month - felting

  1. Has Lisa gone permanently to New York or just a visit .
    So that is how wonky stars come to life very effective. Good to see so much activity in the Church, felt is such a good medium for decorations

  6. Its hard to have kids far away. I live on the east coast and my son lives on the west coast of the USA. And I dislike flying.

    Love your stars!
