I got home from work, and actually had a little spunk left! So, I made a few tiny stars. These are 4 inch finished, and the scraps are from my 1.5 inch bin and my 2.5 inch bin. I love using scraps like these...this is just great fun to me! A plan? I really don't have one right this second for these blocks!! Remember...any threads you see must be because your glasses are dirty, or that you have not had enough coffee...I of course would NEVER leave threads like that...........SNORT!!
Are you a Thimbleberries girl? I recently acquired this book...it is a really fun book...would you like to have it? Just leave me a comment and I will draw for it on Saturday, 2-19-11.
This one too!! These books are kind of polar opposites...just let me know which one you would like, and I will put you in the drawing.
Have a great week, everyone!!
Julie

Thanks Crystal

LOVE your little stars. Since I have so many books (and patterns) that have never been used, I'd have no business trying to acquire another book, so I'll keep my name out of this one....even though I'd love another book....LOL
That is a tough one, I like them both, lol.
I love the photo on the cover with the mittens, that looks like a fun quilt to do. So, whatever I can win is fine with me.
Debbie
Thimbleberries, please! Your stars are sweet!
Since I started using a leader/ender scrap I no longer have long tails to cut off. Yay!
