I've been sewing away..The inside of the star quilt is all together...ready for the half square triangle border and final border...
This is so fun to do and I love the way it's turning out...the stars float and that makes me very happy. I'm going to get this done before I leave for Birmingham on Friday...how about that for a goal. I've been doing more Hopscotch blocks at the same time...but I'm not going to have that one done before I go.
Well, here's the little Labor Day Weekend Giveaway...3 charm packs (the 3 different colorways)...Thimbleberries newest 3's Company...the group that the newest Thimbleberries Club quilt will be done with.
So leave me a comment by midnight tomorrow night (Labor Day...my man will pick a number and I'll post the winner Tuesday morning early. Make sure you have an e-mail address included if your comment is "no reply"...otherwise I won't be able to contact you.
Off to sew a bit more before we join friends for dinner. Have a great evening!
