I have to have it done by Oct 15 so I can catch a plane to deliver it Oct 16. Plenty of time.
So .... I joined a swap for quilted postcards, got those two done (two new techniques!), then I started a paper pieced mini lonestar and I have 2 "arms" of the star done. I worked on a third tonight but when I finished it and opened it I discovered I goofed somewhere so I have to either pick it out or make the whole thing over. Not sure which ... depends on how much scraps I have left as everything was from scrap!
tomorrow I will probably pick up the hand work again.
