Jan that cabinet is absolutely gorgeous! It looks so solid too, what a nice piece of furniture! It is hard to believe it arrived broken in any way! What a great job you did!
Monica, your stars are exquisite! I have never tried paper piecing, but seeing those red stars makes me want to give it a try - on something small anyway!
