I received that email also. Thanks for posting it. It might intice someone to join in.

MonaLisa, very nice job! Love the fussy cutting on your diamonds!

I love Foundation Factory! On this project I use it to print the pattern, and the book for the cutting charts.

Ok, I am tired of being behind! We are at the Antique Motorcycle Swap Meet in Dixon, CA. In case I get bored I brought my Featherweight and everything I need to make a couple blocks! This is the first time I have brought sewing stuff along in our Toy Hauler.

Thanks for the information. I wanted to buy 50 Fab. Stars but hesitated because of the price. With the $5 off I went ahead and bought it. I am making my squares 8.5" and have been having to go get the pattern reduced at the local newspaper office. Now I can print my own patterns. Thanks again for the information.

I would love to do another sew along after this with paper piecing. Anything BUT stars or compasses.

Why don't you figure out just what you want to do and start one.

Yes to what PokerDiva said. Also, since several of us are behind, I hope we can keep this thread going next year. I love looking at all the stars, have a few made, all the supplies needed, but can't find the time to machine sew.

I think this thread will be open as long as people are still interested in doing the stars. We will be waiting for you.
