So (sew) many stars. The past few days, except yesterday, I worked on getting the Starry Signs BOM, from Whole Circle Studio together. Sunday and Monday I made the last monthly block, Sagittarius, and all the center stars. Thankfully I had the moon made, and the single stars were relatively easy compared to the constellations. In preparation for the queen sized quilt, one must first make the throw sized version. Then add three more borders to make it into an 88 inch square top. I am at that point right now. I need to set aside a day for making six more stars and the mountains. I did end up replacing the dark pinks I originally bought with two slightly darker shades. When I first started this quilt I purchased a ten yard bolt for the dark blue background fabric. I have about two and a half yards left, the pattern calls for about 11 yards for this version. I am wondering if I should order another yard or two to finish, I could use extra for binding.

I got the Log Cabin quilt loaded and started quilting it. I picked a feather panto that covers nicely, not too dense, but it will hold this quilt together for another ten years.

I am starting to feel like I am nearing the finish line on the Consider the Lilies cross stitch. I worked on the bottom right side border yesterday. I will confess that the two pieces didn’t match perfectly, off by one stitch. I was able to adjust it on the diagonal corner section. No one will ever know, the stitches are so small, and unless I point it out, I doubt anyone will notice. Thankfully the rest of the piece isn’t throw off. I did notice that my fox is two stitches lower than it should be. Hmm, now I am wondering if the other fox is low too.

I’ll admit to pre-ordering a few charts from Nashville, along with buying a full kit for a new project. It’s called Needleworker from Little House Needleworks. I thought it would look nice over my sewing room door.

The weather outside is frightful, I may just stay home and sew today.

Be Kind.
