The stars on the July wall hanging are wood craft shapes. I used a big button and marked the holes and then made the holes with a nail and a hammer. I painted them with craft paint.

These are really cute. So what exactly is the "pencil series"? Is it something you made up or an on line quilt along or a book or what? Also I am curious, these are obviously a set with very specific size requirements. So what do you use them for? Are they table toppers or door hangings or what?

Queen: How did I miss these? Love what you did. Each one really does capture what I think of for the month. Now I have to go find the others.

I named it The Pencil Series after I made the second one and realized they were the perfect size to use a new pencil in the hanging pockets. I knew I had a piece of dowel rod and I was going to cut a piece down for these and I happened to run across a new pencil when I was hunting for the dowel and it was perfect. To begin with I was making the smaller ones to hang by my front entry. I had the larger ones hung over my cookbook bookcase. But then things happened and now I hang them in my cubical at work.

I'm like Emma--I missed these, but they are just as cute as can be. Literally "pencil" quilts, too.

very nicely done!!!

Very, very cute. You did very nice work.

They are all so cute, what a great idea of naming them pencil quilts. How clever!!
