Deecee - your star is beautiful! That stripy gold fabric is really nice and perfect in your block.
Irene - nice star! I love how the blanket stitch really sets it off.
I am behind the 8-ball this week. I was trying to get ahead, but I ended up falling further behind. My last day of work was Friday and we're getting ready to leave for Italy on Monday... Then when we get back, moving to Florida. After this week, it may be a few weeks before I post again.
I do hope to get a few blocks done before I leave though! I will post what I can before I disappear for a while...
