These are my first two blocks for the group.
Melissa asked for star blocks in all solids. I got a wonderful roll of springy solids from Katja's and got to work. She also asked for the seams to be pressed open. This I had never done before. I had a little trouble lining up my seams, but it came together alright.
These two 12 inch blocks will be whisked off to the states, where they will be lovingly sewn into a quilt to comfort someone in Hospice. I am so pleased to be part of something like this.
Also this past week-end was my daughters grad. I will show you just one picture of her and her friend, before leaving for their photo shoot : )
okay, and one with two of her brothers ( I think her hair had come unglued)
okay and one with.............just kidding ; )
